First I was stunned by the good-lookin hood vent. Then my jaw fell when I saw the rear wing, and the side scoops. Finally, my jaw dropped completely on the floor when I scrolled down to the engine!
I don't know what to say, except PLEASE move in next door to me!!!

looks damn good. Ill have to see how the wing really looks when its all painted and a full view of the car with it. Is the Fiero going to be painted blue like the engine or red like it is?

I think you did a GREAT job! I like the wing to.. I have one that I made almost JUST LIKE your's, I used a extra Nothback clip piece so it's the same angle(just reversed)... I am going to hold off putting it on "SmoothGT" as I like it wingless now..
Again, Great Job and keep up the good work. Your gonna have a BADA$$ Fiero when finished!!
Smooth!!
ps. ohh, did I tell you I LOVE Custom Fiero's..?? LOL

will/does the hood have any problems with clearing the over flow bottle? i ask, because my hood is similar in "depth" and i either need to lower the overflow botle or move it somewhere else, i was thinking os finding a smaller one just curious as to if you run into any problems ------------------ Rich white 86 se, 2" drop, coil overs, and KYB's

I love the hood treatment... it matches the mecham side scoops extremely well. And build up details on this?
You did a very nice job on the spoiler (although like others, it's not really my style)- how is your clearance on the decklid? I saw another design simliar to that where they just rounded out the ends of the decklid to clear the spoiler...
Very nice work! That LT4 should be quite a blast. What else do you have planned for the car? (Paint, wheels, interior, etc?)
wow. that loks sweet! how long until it's done? man, i bet a lot of blood, sweat and tears went into that. all i can say is wow. i'm speechless. great body work. that's amazing. keep up the good work and i'm really looking forward to seeing it finished!

I saw the pic for the rear wing and thought to my self (holly Crap!, will that thing fly ?). Then i saw the pic of the 500bhp V8, and thought (yes it definately will).
Q. So do you have your pilot's license yet ??

Looks great! That engine is beautiful! But man do you have something against using punctuation in your posts? Im getting a headache reading a mile long sentence.

Take it easy on me! I can only comprehend so much at one time! You got some awesome project there, I hope the rest turns out like the great start. Don't listen to anybody's opinions... you're doing just fine on your own!

Just kidding... I can't wait to see it. I would love to park our's next to each other at the 20th Anniv. I can see it now.. people asking .. "Hey dude.. Where's the trimless section of Fiero's??" hehe
Very good work the hood is my favorite. I love to see exactly how you did that. Do you have any pics of the progress? I would love to see pictures while you were working on the hood. GOOD JOB! Sounds like you have a nice ride.

Just more compliments man! I really like the hood vent, serious looking and with grills too. I am currently working on a vented hood but it will not be a match for yours, definitely an A+.
That wing is a notchback rear roof section isn't it? I usually don't go for the big wing look but you have created a symmetry that really works. I can't wait to see the finished product, and here I am patting myself on the back for mounting a Dodge Shadow spoiler while you guys are rebuilding the whole car.
Well in the fastback corner we have Skitime and Smoooooth GT (if he every gets it finished ) and I see a new star rising in the notchback camp.

Very impressive so far. You seem to have an extremely ambitious project, I admire people who can actually such big projects...someday I'll be ready for it, just can't afford to do things how I want to at this point.
Keep us updated, you've got a very interesting buildup!

Wow! I am in awe at what people like you, smooth, fibersmith and others can do with fiberglass. That is an awesome job! I love everything you have done so far including the spoiler. Keep on posting pics of your progress. We love pics Especially when it shows "in progress". Helps motivate those of us who are less talented to maybe try new things. Looks like you are going to also have an engine that backs up the look when your done!
Way to go.

Wow, Like everyone else says. This is one impressive build up you have going. I wonder what color your going to repaint. And drop 18's on that car to finish it, and go with chrome. As most people do, 5 spoke or 6 spoke wheels always look great on Fiero's and don't go out of style if you buy quality.
