In the next few weeks, I will be ordering some replacement parts for the rustoration of my new 73 from AA. I would like to go ahead and order my flares at the same time (I'll have most of the passenger rear quarter panel open anyway ).

Unfortunately, I missed the group buy on the steel flares as I had not yet purchased my car. Are there any others that missed the last steel flare purchase and would like to order some now and save some $$$?

I may be interested in a group buy. Depends how much? Same as last time? Thanks- Jamie

Count me in (with the usual legal disclaimers, ie. another set of ear-tubes for my 5 year old).

Update Please...

I saw a thread indicating that the group buy was a one time deal. So, I did not pursue it further and ended up finding a good deal on some glass flares and went that route. Perhaps someone else can pick up the torch on this one.

AA posted a list in the vendors area of items that were available at lower $ if you bought in bulk. The downside is some one would have to act as the middle man and repackage and reship as the $'s were for one bulk shipment if I remember correctly.

I'm interested but need the details including shipping to Seattle...daveyboy

I'd be good to go this time 'round if the deal was the same....

whats the price for this? ive got some grad money to blow.

count me in also.

Money burning my pocket BAD!!!

I have decided to do steel flares after all. If you are all still interested, I would be willing to middleman this and contact George and arrange it. According to the info George posted in the Vendors section, six sets is enough to qualify for the group discount. That means me and 5 more should do it. PM me if still interested. Chuck.

ttt . . . I've e-mailed and spoken to George at AA. The next two people to commit get a set of AA's reproduction steel flares sent directly to your doorstep from AA for ~$650 + shipping. This is the same deal as the last group buy but in a more limited number. So, for those of us that missed the last group buy, here is your chance.

650 + Shipping.. wow. Let me check my piggy bank, what I wouldn't give for a set of these.

For $650 + shipping, count me in. Thanks

Thanks Doug. That leaves just one more person. Those that are in, please PM me your zip codes and contact info. I will get the shipping quote from George and pass that along to each of you.

There are five us committed to the flare purchase. We have room for one more person. The next person to commit gets to purchase a set of AAs steel reproduction flares for the price of $650 + shipping. This is a deal.

soooooo tempted.

C'mon....1 more please!

Lotus 65,

c'mon . . . .one more please!!!! Heck, you're right down the street from me in Minneapolis, I bet we could combine shipping on our sets and save a touch more yet.

i really shouldn't have posted. when i'm ready for bodywork, i'll prefer more subtle bodywork as i'm not going 5-lug on this car.

COME ON, SOMEONE STEP UP!

Thanks lotus. There has to be someone that needs and wants a set.

You sick demonic bastages!!! I'll take a freekin set for my all steel car dang nambitall! I hope your happy ya evil temptress of Hades! Lets do the group nasty.

Yeeeeeeeaaaaahhhhh. JPB makes 6!!

So when do we need to give Georgy the funds by? Does this require some kind of synchronized monetary effort? Has everyone else payed yet? I'm confused. Waaaa

Chuck,
Got room for one more in the gb?
PM sent

Jeff

PM sent back and by the way. . .

Thanks,
Have been here in the shadows a long long time. My normal hangout is the 911 BBS on Pelican but for 914 stuff this is the place to be.

Jeff

George has graciously offered to sell additional sets of his reproduction steel flares at $650 plus shipping. So, if anyone is interested in doing this, now is the time. Buy 'em now and install this winter! Let me know if you would like to get in on the deal. For questions, I can be reached at:

ChuckRoulet@comcast.net


Thanks all!!

Chuck

Glad you got your seventh victim. I'm backing out due to a good deal on a 2L engine and bumper purchase this weekend. So the trrrrrue glooooory goes to the next fella Jeff Hail!

I am in Stuttgart, Germany, will he ship to an APO address? APO AE 01928.

Stephen,

I will ask George and get back to you.

Chuck

Chuck I am interested in a set of flares. Where can I see some pictures?
Charlie

Stephen,

George said he will ship to an APO address. I sent you a private message with the details.

Chuck

Charlie,

I sent you an e-mail. That being said, go to www.autoatlanta.com There are a few places with photos there. For example, scroll to the bottom of the main page. Click on restorations. Then click on "Extreme Makeover" and you can see a set being welded on.

Chuck

Chuck,

George said he would include the "free tool bag" with shipping of the flares!

What a great deal! AA rocks!

Yep. George has been great putting this together!!

Just wanted to update everyone. George said the flares would be shipping this week.

Chuck

Bummer I missed it!

PM George and ask if he'll still sell you a set.

Got my flares today

Thanks again Chuck for setting up the group buy

You're welcome! Glad to be able to help.

Mine came today too! They look great.

Thanks again Chuck and George!

Missed this group buy, drat! Someone Please let me know when this deal comes around again, unless some one has a set they want to part with. While I'm on my parts finding quest I may as well ask if any one has a set of coarse spline large flange 911 transaxle flanges they wish to depart with? Thanks, Wilhelm in beautiful and soon to be monsooning Hood River, Or.

THANKS CHUCK!

FedEx man came today... and my teener has some "flare" in her near future....

Thanks again for organizing.

Sean

Dammit. Wish I had been here for this...

I'm in if it happens again.

Sean,

You're welcome. Now if the FedEx man would just come visit me so that I could see my set.

I can see the wave of flares moving across the U.S now. I am in Calif so I anticipate a few more days.

I guess I spoke to soon. Flares showed tonight at 745pm via FedEx.
2 fronts are perfect. Right rear is about 2 inches longer than the left at the rocker.
A little trim and a haircut to perform. Actually this is a plus as I prefer more metal
for a better fit than too little. Wheelwell openings are perfect on the entire set.

Thank you Chuck for putting this together.

A candid pic of the quintuplets resting. Proud Poppa Mig Welder is excited.
Mom is looking forward to new skirts..

looks nice, don't expect to see mine for a while, big box, which means it will be coming slow boat to Germany. The post office is gonna hate me when they show up!

Stephen,

George said yours were on the way; they needed some additional shipping instructions I guess. I am having some issues with the local FedEx and have not seen mine yet. They tell me Tuesday. Good to see everyone else has theirs.
