I cut, hammered, and dollied out the front of a 911 piece to fit the front for the -6. I then made the side pieces out of fresh steel (these are relatively easy to make). The rear pieces are a bit more difficult but can be made out of sheet steel with a bit of welding. So there's your money saved!

I think you can get repro tins for ~200. A relative bargain actually...
PM a914guy - Rich Johnson - You'll get more than just sheet metal. Rich is a great resource for 6 conversion stuff and knowledge.

I think most repro sets go for $350

There also is a thread with templates around here somewhere if you want to make your own.
Search cheap conversion or something like that.

I made mine out of Frankensteining a set of 911 tins and 914/4 1.7 tins. Cost me time and paint.
