I guess it depends what state the car is currently in right now. My 77 basket case is currently converted to slant nose, and will be converted to 930, but in my case, I paid a miniscule amount for the car, which will not be sold afterwards. First off, If you're planning to sell it later on, keep it as original as possible, since it WILL take a big hit on the resale price.. If this is a keeper, by all means, make it YOUR car, that is, not everyone is going to like what you like, which means, you're never going to please everyone, but then again, I think it's super cool that these cars get customized so much that you hardly see 2 alike.. Now on to what you're looking for, which is Information you can use. As far as flaring goes, fiberglass is not easy to get right. Steel flares will not crack, will not require as much filling, which will eventually shrink, hence, crack. The joint between the rear flare and the rear quarter wil be a dissimilar material joint, which requires expensive epoxy adhesives, which, unless you actually know the shop that is doing the job, might skimp on those. Steel is quite straightforward: all you need is a good welder, and a good bodyshop. As for the front fenders, you have several choices: You can get some 930 fiberglass fenders and sell yours, you can weld flares to your own fenders, or buy some 930 fenders, which will cost an arm and a leg. Ultimately, you have to realize that it is not cheap nor fast.
