anyone in the washington d.c./metro area have the sheridan 914 "narrow" kit installed on their car. i am looking for a high quality kit that fits well. bought some other fiberglass pieces and was very unhappy with it. if anyone nearby has it i would like to take a look at it. anyone else who has experience with it, your comments would be greatly appreciated as well. thanks

I have dealt with it all. Rogers stuff is the BEST fitting available hands down. Hopefully you get to see this first hand. I have been buying Rogers stuff since 1995 or so. He knows me well. We just painted a narrow body nose this past weekend.

I'm not sure what you want to use the car for... but he will lay it up for street or race.

the car is an open cock-pit track car. i didn't find out about sheridan till after my problems with the other fiberglass. i had completely removed the front fenders by drilling out the spot welds. but the fg fenders were so crappy that i had to reinstall the steel fenders. i like the look of sheridans kit, but my main concern is its method of attachment to the front. will i need remove the steel fenders again or trim them?
thanks for the replys.

Rogers kit is designed to remove the fenders. Normally we leave 1.0-1.5 worth of steel for front attachment.

Brad, in your opinion, could the fenders be cut, and molded into the stock body, so the the stock bumpers are used?

Yes. I'm betting he would lay it up without the 75/76 front bumper in place.

It can be used on the street, but the splitter might get beat up. We install "plastic/UHF" on the bottom of all of ours. This gives the splitter more strength and the UHF takes the driveways/curbs instead of the fiberglass.

after comparing the two body style i have decided to go with the wider version, love the two-piece design. still hoping to find someone within driving distance of maryland that has the sheridan kit on their car.
