Here's a quick run down of transforming your 914 to a 914 with GT arches.Painted area must be stripped back to bare metal prior to surgery. Position all 4 arches in car line 7.5 hrs Removal of 2 original rear arches to 2 grafted in GT arches 28 hrs Removal of 2 original front arches to 2 grafted in GT arches 18hrs total time 53.5 hrs x $60 per hour =$3210 4 GT arches from Restoration Design $995 total cost $4205 |

Quality Does Cost $ I was commenting more on the coincidence of the 420 word, a bit more like fatalistic planetary alignment,Beavis and Butthead, everything in its right place.
