Is this a new kit in the works or a one-off?

Part of me wants to say GT40, and part of me wants to say Corvair GT concept that Chevy never made, because it looks like both of them...

That says total GT40 to me. I thought I heard something about this before, that a GT40 kit was available for the Fiero. Maybe I'm going batty (as if I haven't been already).

You're right, there is a GT40 replica for the Fiero. Purists will note, however, that the "real" GT40 was much lower and longer (at least in appearance) than the Fiero kit is. I have three very small videos of a completed kit that was on eBay in March of 2000 (judging by the file dates

I do like the look though. Just wish something could be done about the rear...in my opinion, the exhaust just doesn't look right where it is in the stock location when the kit is installed. However, if I had to guess, I'd wager that not a lot can be done about it. Given the shortness / shape of the rear of the body, I imagine you lose the trunk as it is, leaving you little in options for re routing the exhaust up higher. Course, I could be completely wrong there and would be happily corrected.

Archie, do we get a build up thread on this one too? insert evil grin

Truth be known, I bet Archie wants to see how high the view total goes on this one

This is not the AASP GT40 kit. This body is a Mark I and it's ALL the correct dimensions.

The Fiero wheelbase and the Mark I wheelbase are almost identical, so this Fiero chassis has not been stretched. The roofline, doors rockers are identical to the real GT40 Mark I.

Don't worry about the exhaust, it will be in the right place when we are done & it'll have a V-8.

Take a look at the roof, the doors extend up into the roof and open just like the original GT40.

Cool, Archie.

Any rough idea how much the entire body kit would cost? (I want one)

Or are you only doing them yourself?

Holy Testicle Tuesday!

Archie. that is by far your best work. it looks incredible! are you considering a longitudinal V8? doubtfull i know, but i thought ide ask, since it has been done, and for you would be little challenge im sure. With that nice body kit and a longitudinal engine, you would have imho the best Fiero replica on the road!

Sorry Guys but this kit just screams Opel GT!! If you don't know what it is go look it up on classic autotrader! And before you tell me i'm an idiot i know there are a few small differences like the front but it looks more like an Opel than a GT40...
Don't be mad just an opinion Looks good though!!

Thanks--Nathan

I always loved the Opel GT. I had several of them back in the mid 70's, I even put a SBC into one of them. You can see what the Opel looks like on EBay at http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1873861967

This isn't a Opel GT, to see what the GT40 should look like you can try a search on GT 40 Mark I. You'll see that this looks exactly like the Mark I.

I'm glad everybody likes what we have so far.

Hmmm, it's a little confusing there Archie. Are you using the 64 GT or 65 GT40 MKI as your model? The hood cut-outs are from the GT, but the lights are from the MKI. Take a look:
