Ok I spent all weekend working on my car. I got it striped, worked on the front end and the rear decklid.
I ordered the widebody kit from Archie this last week along with a set of choptop windows.
I also got a set of the German popup headlights and a rear facia like the one that carlo is working on.
but any way here are some pictures of what I did this weekend.

the frontend I used a 355 nose and cut 4" out of it to fit to the fiero I made fiberglass fenders and I made them
each 1-1/4" wider to cover the tires better.

Minor update time!
I worked on the car last night and cut out the trunk and started to trim the front fenders
I ran out of sandpaper so I need to go get some today.
I have to work this weekend so if I can work on it at night I will.
I should have the headlights today and the body parts next week. I hope soon I leave for Germany on the 3rd for a week
after I get back it will be full ahead to get it done so I can drive it my truck uses too much fuel.
anyway here are some pics from last night.
