Here's the front from two perspectives.


There are no visible fasteners holding the power mirror brackets and housings. They've been handcrafted out of steel in such a way that they get proportionally smaller in diameter as they come towards the front of the vehicle. So, imagine the turbo intake scoop creating a tunnel from front to rear... now if one cut two sections out, one in front and one behind the bracket...the bracket would be all that remains.



With all the concave surfaces the reflections produced totally dazzle people. Around the windshield there is no rubber molding...it was gapped with a 3/16" gap around the perimeter and Speedy Glass in Welland installed it so well that it looks seamless with the body. Notice the tops of the doors have been contoured into the roof, again giving that seamless transition. The license plate bracket is removable for the shows...however, we end up leaving it on because people keep asking how the front plate is attached to the car without any notches or fasteners. The rims seem to be a drawback from some people, yet others love them...Guess it all depends on preference. These rims were chosen mainly to compliment the theme of the car as well as to compliment her concave curves. The centres were powdercoated in gunmetal grey, striped with Vermilion orange, and one -off centrecaps were molded providing a place for the iNVision logo in the centre. I think i mentioned earlier that I did borrow a set of 18's ...but they didn't compliment the design.

You may have it all figured out, but if you are interested in the information, I have an SBC / Porsche 930 set up in my tube chassis race car that I built. I would love to help you get some horsey in that masterpiece! Again, fantastic job. (chant while bowing.... we're not worthy... we're not worthy.. )

Thanks very much! But, this is something a lot of people are capable of doing...

You yourself have some high performance talents from what I just saw on your site... Great work!

Well, thanks again RR. Much appreciated. Finally got home after another late nite in the shop. I do have build pics but they aren't very consistent...ie. when i'm pushing to get stuff done...i often forget to take pics until that something is finished. The other thing is that I need to figure out how to do a build tread on this site(also dunno if admin will like the fact that this car really isn't a Fiero..hmmm.. thinking). By 'hidden seams' ... you mean door, hood , etc gaps? If you do, all edges were hemed with a hammer and dolly on Rhythm...just like on a factory built steel vehicle and if the gap happened to be wider than expected in an area weld was added to close it in..then ground and filed. One thing that needs to be taken into account is that it's 3/16" after primer and paint...and you need to allow for that....fun!


Cheers,
