Now that we have all these reference pictures to work from, how hard would it really be to make a 90 Prototype Interior Kit?

Dash

Someone in another thread said they'd see about making one.

Window switches

Making these functional may be harder, but making the pieces themselves would be easy.

map pocket

Unless I'm mistaken, this is identical to the other Fieros? Could you just add the Fiero logo print to plain grey ones, or were there ever any plain grey ones? If not, would the piece even be hard to just cut and sew if you had that material?

radio surround

That's what, a plastic piece on bottom and vynl (sic) around the AC vents? Could that be retrofitted to current Fieros, or would you have to make that light grey support and backing part too?

This could be good for anyone wanting to update the look of their Fiero without swapping in another interior, or make it easier for anyone who eventually does a 90 prototype body kit, since they wouldn't have to worry about making interior pieces, too.

I've only worked with model kits, so I don't know how difficult certain pieces would be to make, but luckily GM did use a lot of parts that would already be on the Fiero or could be re-used.

The gauge cluster in the prototype looks very similar to 93 firebirds. Maybe that cluster could be used to make the new gauge pod.

Put in some Mr. Mikes with those different pieces and that would look like a new car!

Thought this might be a good time to *bump* this thread now that all the measured pics are coming out, even though those are of the exterior.

Yeah, likewise. You said you were the one holding the vertical tape? Thanks for the help.

I guess you'd have to just wing it to make the IP surrounds.

In all acuallity, the 90 was put togehte rby whatever parts they could find that were already on the shelf. They simply were trying for an update.
I do believe there were 3 full size 90s.

Well just cut the side vent off and add wing like extentions onto the side and there would be the front part. So how would we get the rest?
