Welcome to my Porsche 911 Backdate Fender Modification.
In this episode I begin backdating these mid year fender to a longhood fender (1974 to 1973). This conversion is known as the infamous Porsche 911 backdate. Some say its overdone and each year Porsche should be celebrated for what it is. I agree with that sentiment when restoring a nice car, but my car was either going to be crushed after being left for dead in the Nevada desert or brought back to life by a hot rodder like me. I’m not trying to flip this car to an uneducated buyer. Instead this is my hotrod to build the way I want in the most cost effective means possible and do away with the impact bumper.

This project begins with stripping some paint off the fender. One of the specialty tools used in this video is my favorite stripping sander linked below:
The Makita GV5010 sander is a great tool to run the 3M strip it disks. The RPM is just right for quick paint removal without disintegrating the wheels. You will need to find a longer bolt since the strip it discs are much thicker than sandpaper. For large areas, I like to soften the paint with paint stripper too.
