I forced myself to quit driving my car for a few minutes and work on one of the last pieces of fabrication. I took an old style deep rear valence and modified it for my car.
 I flared the ends to match the GT flares and then cut out a section in the middle for my exhaust exit (and welded up the old side exit!) and welded in some spare engine lid grill work to finish it off. I cut out an area the shape of a continuation of the rear bumper line for asthetics, I think it works?  |

Paul, Awesome job on the sheetmetal !! I didn't have the original 3.6 metal to steal pieces from, but that's a great idea! You should add that to the classic thread, I think it would be really helpful to others who cross this path. When I did my conversion there was very little 3.6 info on this site and to get info was like pulling teeth. I think it's great that anyone thinking about a 3.6 conversion now has some resources here refer to.
Nice job!! |

I think it's great that anyone thinking about a 3.6 conversion now has some resources here refer to. Nice job!! Thanks! I bought the 914-6 sheet metal and then hacked the hell out of it......sigh. However, with the one piece from the 993, it looks factory when bolted on now that it is powder coated. For those doing this, start by bolting the side pieces on. This gives a correct reference point. EVERYTHING else has to be modified and some pieces extensively. It's not hard, but it is challenging and time consuming. By the time I got done, it took me a weekend. It's important to leave a 1/2' lip on the original pieces so you have something to spot weld to. If you place the fabricated pieces on the top of the lip when spot welding, you can't tell it's not original. |
