Chalon Kit or GT kit Which one ? Feedback Options

[Beakster]

Wanting members feedback on helping me make a decision on which kit to go with. I have a new doner car to put a kit on.. But I can decide what kit to put on it either a chalon or GT kit .. I already have the chalon kit from another car so it would be just the time and labor of installing it.. Where as for the GT kit I would have to buy the extra parts of fender flares , bumpers , etc which will cost me more $$$ and etra time and labor too.. Which whey would you go and why?? Thanks Guys (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Resurrecting an old thread.

I realize I am in the minority here but I like the Chalon kit. The problem is that almost none of them are done right.

The wheel openings are bigger than the factory 914 openings but people typically use the same size wheels and tires as they would on a normal 914 and it makes the whole car look like a clown car.

Here are a couple Chalon kits. One that looks like a clown car and one that does not.





The project I am building with my son will have a Chalon kit on it. All four corners need serious body work and it will be cheaper and easier to remove the trouble spots and install the kit than it will be to fix all the issues the car has now. I've included a picture of how it looked when I bought it so you can see that "diminishing the value" is pretty close to impossible with this car.




The plans I have for it will be unlike any Chalon conversion done in the past. I know I am not going to change most peoples opinion but I guarantee it will be different than any Chalon you have seen before.

Does anyone know how large and wide a wheel a 5-lug 911 converted Chalon bodied car can accept? To eliminate that Clown Car look.
