By one-o-clock, we had already made our first fitting and cuts. Here is Steve grinding away some of that most beautiful paint from his 914.

Apparently it's too damn easy to get across the border up there. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) We just sent Bruce back yesterday after he sneaked across too.

Look what happens with slack border controls.

They come by, take over your driveway, shop AND tools...pretty presumptuous.

I think the yellow/black goes on the front bumper on a GT, not the Fuchs (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I stopped by Chez Bovey yesterday and he described how you do the flares. My plan of attack is similar (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)

I doubt it... you'll probably find a bumble bee halfway through the creamsicle...
and still be wondering why your 215 is running hot. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)




So you going to post more pics of the flare install there Mr Original poster dude?

Sorry guys, I realized after starting this thread that 99% of the pictures were taken on Steve's camera. He is going to e-mail them to me. I'll finish this up in the next day or so. There is A LOT to see. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)

Oh hey Troy and Jon, we finished up around 9PM! One solid 8 hour shift. Crazy! After we got done we cleaned up and went to a local dinner and drowned our sore muscles. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drunk.gif)

Lets see how big or small these pictures are. This is the first of the cuts after steve ground the paint off the general cut line area. We start by fitting the bottom lips and tacking them onto the 914. From there you cut up, tack, cut, tack until the entire flare is tacked on with a perfect 1/32-1/16 inch gap to weld up.
