Hey Steve, these pictures are like 4kb each and pretty small. Any chance you can e-mail me some 40-50kb size pictures? They distort when I make them big.

Thanks Steve!
Last couple of pictures there you get a better idea of the process. Cut the bottom corners, fit, tac weld and check the rest of the fit. Then cut up another 12-18 inches, tac that keeping your blade width gap and keep cutting, tac, cut, tac until you're all the way around. I worked from each side up to the middle. Steve, keep posting. There are the shots of the right front fender after we ground it down I wanted to show. It almost needs no body work at all. Looks perfect. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) |

That's funny, I was mentioning to Steve how cool your frog green 914 looks in person. That color is amazing!
Steve, you gotta do something cool with the color now. Any idea yet? |

How did you get the bottoms to fit? I've seen that as an issue on a few other installation threads with the angle of the steel on the car.

Nice work!
Whatever Steve is using for email is probably shrinking the pics that he emailed to Dan. |

QUOTE(Chuck @ Nov 10 2008, 06:49 PM) How did you get the bottoms to fit? I've seen that as an issue on a few other installation threads with the angle of the steel on the car. The AA flares have a 90 corner while the 914 stock fenders have that small double angle. When I cut for the bottom parts I grab the angle and flatten it out to match the bottom line of the factor fender which then matches up with the bottom of the flare. We are lucky to own cars that someone like George H. has done all this R&D on a product so wonderfully produced as this. I am not a big AA fan, but I tell you, I love these flares. |
