NOT the question to ask in this thread as folks are pretty divided over the look.

I think it's cool...but then again I'm a hot rodder at heart...

Very nice, weld as you cut...very nice...after my flare work, I'd say that the method he's using is probably the smartest I've seen.

i agree.........even I could do that without screwing it up
what a great idea

What saw are you using to cut the fenders???

What I'm wondering is.......what happened to the yellow turbo those flares came off of?

Very interesting stuff going on here. I can't wait to see the finished product.

Another technique for attaching flares is to leave the old flare in place and line-up and attach the new one with screws. As you trace-cut the new flare with a saw or disc cutter (with 1/32" disc) you push the old flare out of the way and make your tack welds. Zero guess work and perfect fitment.
By the time you get to the end the old flare falls off from underneath and you're ready to complete the welding between the tacks.

This technique could not be used here because the brake vent box was attached to the donor flare....not a typical scenario.

Geof, the saw used is your standard body saw.... http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=113

Are those TIG welds?

Not to hijack this thread but if you like the look I've got the parts for you to make your own slope nose. FWIW I dont think that these parts are made of gold.If you have any entrest please contact me at rgb48mail@fuse.net to not clutter this thread. Thanks, Randy

If you have factory front fenders I'm interested.

Sunset, what width cut did the nibbler make for the weld ?

[RickM]

Charlie,

I think he used an pnuematic body (hacksaw) and a disk cutter.

Probably between a 1/32' and 1/16" gap.

Sweet. Makes me want to get out my Flock of Seagulls cassette and watch "Weird Science" and "Risky Business".

What do the last 3 letters on his license plate stand for?

[RickM]

Do any of you guy remember a shop called "Sport Performance" out of San Jose, CA? One of the first to do 930S conversion work. What ever became of them?

There is a guy here in Dayton that has one of those for sale for 20K..
It's all done up right..
with 7 & 9" fuchs and ir's a slope nose.. turbo look.
They look very vintage racer.

Could have sworn he was using a nibbler in one pic but it doesn't look like it now.... must have been hallucinating badly this morning

How come I don't see any screw holes after the welds? Do you cut right on the screw line?

I hate to ask this since you guys probably get $120 / hour but any chance you could show some before and after pictures of where you grind down the weld line?

We're all getting an education here.

you definitely gotta have tattoos all over your arms to do schit like that.
