Back dating 82 turbo cab to rsr speedster

I bought an 82 cab conversion with complete turbo suspension,brakes, torque tube etc done by Pino and painted by Jack my project is to backdate to 73 rsr with speedster windshield.so far I have the windshield,clam shell and am ready to start BUT it's a slope nose so my first order of business is to find some one that produces steel rsr fenders complete or back dated turbo fenders. Any thoughts

I would try posting this in the paint and body forum. Guy here are just going to tell you its a waste of money. This is the Marketplace Forum after all.

Definitely posting in the wrong forum, but hey, you're finding answers, right?

Try these guys: Restoration Design Inc. | Quality Custom Porsche Automobile Panels

I've never used them but I've heard incredible stories about their work. Apparently even the restoration shop at the factory in Stuttgart has sourced from them before.

Where did you pick up the speedster windshield and frame?

Got the frame and winshield from a shop that use to do the conversion, I've thought about having a friend of mine do a pattern off the frame and reproduce them...he does the winshield frames for the old Chriscraft boats. Not easy to find ...I'm currently sourcing the doors parts list under things that make you smile

I would be interested. Doesn't seem to be much to it for a talented fabricator.
