Tony, did you check measurements of that flare? If you haven't, they are described in great detail here: http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsche-911-technical-forum/298521-welding-flares-longhood-rsr-alignment-questions-3.html

About halfway down is Eimkeith's great post with definitive numbers.

Thanks, yea i so that awhile ago,they make it sound so easy..LOL

Well, it was really helpful to me! Those numbers were great for me...

I didnt remember it until after you reminded me,It would have been useful...

Hello All,

:eek:

What color paint is that?! Its wild; and minty fresh;). Is it an IROC color?

That's the high build primer,it comes in various colors,and I felt it would best suit the color I have chosen for the base coat...2007 911 RS GT3 GREEN

Keep at it , Look n GREAT !!

Thats the color that inspired me too, but I ended up going vipergreen, with black accents. Close enough. Your car looks like its coming along great so far!http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1214723137.jpghttp://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1214723231.jpg

Thanks.........just wish my vision was complete,so i could drive already........LOL
by the way , I admired your car before it was green

Great progress! That color is going to look so wonderful, it really sets off the flares.

I want ta watch.

Tony,
You've been working hard. Looks good.

Al

Due to my 1st setback (not adding hardener to the primer) of my project , I will be soda blasting the tub and in the process will be going a different route as far as color.
I will be doing a Gulf Blue (code 328) with a Gulf Orange (019) stripe running from front to back only.

Very impressive work.
