The 911T struts have 3" caliper bolt spacing (same as the 914) and the S calipers have 3.5" mounting hole spacing. If you can find struts from a '69 911S (or an E with the S front-end) thru an '89 Carrera those would fit the S calipers.

If you were to do the work it would be minimal. You could buy John Kelly's DVD @ www.ghiaspecialties.com, a small investment in metal working tools, alot of time, and noise tolerant neighbors. This is for modifying the existing fenders.

Or you can find a automotive metalshaper and get quotes to roll and form new metal. I don't know of any standard to rates and how much time it will take for each metalshaper to do custom work. I believe John spent over 100 hours work within ~5 months.

It has a date next Nov so it WILL be done. Mark is finishing up much of the metal work this month and then it's off to Tony's. He needs an excuse to shove your car out in the rain (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

Apparently yes.

I shouldn't give you a hard time for planning, planning is good. It's hard, and imperfect, but necessary.

It's cliche but so true: If you fail to plan then you plan to fail...

I went to the DMV to get my personalized plates activated and transfer registration so the DMV lady tells me it was never applied for non-operation, oh and by the way it also needs smog certification. Thanks alot Bill! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mad.gif)

I tell her it's an exempt 1974! She says "oh, you're right." 5 minutes later she prints out and gives me the registration as if it were a running car. Thanks alot Bill! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

"All" I need now is to get her running... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

Ima confused. Did you have to pay the back-registration because it was never non-oped? Or did you skate around that because of the smog exemption? (one isn't related to the other)


marks914, how'd you do your sketches? Airbrush? Software? I can't tell. Either way... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smiley_notworthy.gif)

Jon,

Initially she wouldn't give me registration until I produced a smog cert which was incorrect. Not having it non-op status turned out to be a blessing. Having current registration takes a burden off my shoulders... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

Mark's technique:
QUOTE
 
I mostly use a pencil or a ballpoint pen to do a line sketch.  Then I will scan it into photoshop or studio paint.  I rarely use markers, they just dry up, even AD markers.
I taught myself to sketch in photoshop, its pretty much like using paper.  When I was in school I bought an Aiptek tablet and stylus, I think they are about $150 for a 10x14.  It worked great, just like at work. Most guys use SID, which is an extension of the Alias Autostudio program, it is replacing studiopaint.


When is your Suby 914 going to be running?
