I'm new to this forum, first post. I believe I've review recent posts for this topic prior to making this inquiry, trying not to waste anyone's time. In 2011 I commissioned a 914 to house a 1996 3.6 motor that survived a collision caused by previously unrecognized antifreeze on the straightaway of my home track. The 911 didn't survive but the motor did. My builder had a rust free, media blasted tub, 4742900276, and built my new track car. It was mated to a 915 transmission with Wevo side shifter and Sheridan body kit. All was well until Sept '23 when it let loose heading toward a turn, before significant braking, and spun into a concrete wall. The transmission mount avulsed a rectangle of Wevo case and crumpled the right rear corner. Things are coming together, the case has been repaired but I'm having trouble tracking down a new Sheridan quarter panel. I've tried 914 Rubber and a few other sources with no luck. I'm looking for a source or ideas. Thanks

I may be wrong but I thought the Sheridan kit was this…

Is Roger finally out of business? I know he's been talking about retiring for the last 2 decades.

The website is still up and running but i don't see any fiberglass parts:

Is it that you and 914 Rubber can't work out a deal, or shipping is cost prohibitive? I only ask because he has the molds. If you haven't already, check out this thread:

I think the quarter panels are shown on page 11,....and probably other pages as well.
