That nose looks great on the Fiero. If you could use the GTO grills and hidaway lights that would be sweet.

No room for hidaway headlights without cutting some metal. We'll leave that to the individuals who might want to take it to the next level. Sorry.

I meant to say earlier that this does look great! I hope ours turns out as well. Nice work.

OK, here are some pictures of some more progress. Johnathon will post some more later as well. I didn't have as many pics this round but he has more.

This is where we got the angle of slope of the hood:


Here we are shaping the front nose and angle of the front side of the bumper lip:


This is where we were marking the lower side of the bumper to find out how much space we have for the front grills and how we are planning to make the front bottom lip forward spoiler so that air will flow better into the radiator:

Here's a few more. We only spent a few hours working but made a lot of progress. I'm really happy with this foam and the way it is looking so far. Many thanks to Crazydragn for his help, encouragement, excitement, ideas, and financial support. Without him, this would still be a photoshop dream.









This shows our "test hole" that we cut to find the bottom of the crash bar. We didn't think to mark it before it was covered with foam. Then we did a test chin spoiler. These things will be "pushed back" to the planned positions and will not remain where they are now.

Here is another shot with a tweak to the chin spoiler. This is how I want mine. All blended in and body color.

Not a big fan of the style you are going for, but i absolutely love watching the process and the creativity on display.

I wish you guys nothing but the best in reaching the design you seek.

It looks like you are on the right track.

I'm glad you're watching! Many sets of eyes help develop a good product. You might point something out to us that we never thought of! We can always use more objectivity, especially since we are starting to gush over this thing!

Thank you for sharing the process. Please take lots of photos along the way. I have been wanting to see how someone creates a new fiberglass part in this fashion!

I think the front end will be a very cool one-off! But you may want to consider incorporating the same feel & style into the rear as well in some form or fashion to unify it all together.

Please keep posting!

I have plans for the rear also. I want to do a "shorty" fastback. No plans for a rear bumper mod at this time.
