Chris,
Where can I find more info/pictures of this car. What is its history? What is the history of the smaller square flares?
Forgive me if this was somewhere else.

Hi Kyle,
Not much history. they came off of another car and Jeff thought I would like them. We had spoken about doing a small flare car after seeing the picture of the white and lime green car. So, when these came up, we went for it. They are steel with some filler.
The cool thing with these is that you don't need the GT rockers. The thread has almost all of the pictures I have for this car. I will add 1 more I took late last night.
In the end, the car will be Pheonix Red, pewter trim and black bumpers. It should be fun.
After I am done, I will post a before, during and after picture

Definitely. I guess I was wondering about the white and lime green car. I love the livery and it is actually giving me some ideas

The pile of crap in my garage for this car keeps getting smaller. Good
The pile of crap in my garage for the RZ is down to 1 or 2 pices. good
The pile of crap in my garage for the r75 is reducing rapidly. good.
Maybe I will get all three projects done in the next few weeks. That would be fantasitc!

It has been a wierd winter. No snow to speak of, and a couple of long sections of sunny and warm (50 deg) weather. Which means more time to spend on the car without freezing.
We did have one streach of really cold weather. I had Angela out putting a new bumper on her jeep at 19 degrees. The next day was 50. She wasn't very happy about that. But, the bumper was on and good.

Good to catch up Chris and yes, I'll have to crash a Teener Tuesday soon. It's been a while since I've been able to fart in Troy's general direction.
The 914 looks really good, the flares are crazy cool! Very unique.
Not to hijack, but I tried to purschase my old blue car back. Current owner won't sell though. So not sure what to do at this point. I don't think I have the energy to build another one.
