Finally starting my 914-6 GT project after waiting a couple decades. The infection hit me after driving a 911 my employer owned, so I found a '69 912 that I drive for five years until I sold it. Since then, I have been waiting to build a 914-6 GT. John Forbes helped find the starting point for me in October 2015: a white '76 with flares.

I have a question for those much more knowledgeable than I.
While stripping the bottom of the 914, I noticed the lip around the inside of the GT flares. They are about 5/8" wide; this looks too wide. Does anyone know the correct width? I'm thinking about 3/8" would look OK. |

I'm going to use a stock lip as a reference. It will take time and patience. Your car is white and you are going to paint it green. My steel flare GT project started life Palma green and I want to go white !!! You're doing a beautiful job. |

Guess I'll make the final decision a day before it gets painted. As for the fender lips, I'll find an older Porsche somewhere and measure it. |
