Finale Roadster, The Build (Page 1/49)
Archie AUG 17, 11:13 PM
Many of you have seen the Finale Speedster thread http://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum1/HTML/044711.html

While that thread continues with more ideas & input still going on, I've decided to cover my Finale Roadster build up thread here. If I tried to cover this build in that thread, it would have been like shooting at a moving target as people push the PS image that Aus did into a finished product that I wouldn't necessarily want to build.

While these 2 threads should compliment each other well, this will be the build thread, the other one will be the idea thread.

This is what We are working towards, by Aus....

Here we go.

We started this day by looking thru my "Field of Dreams" to find a good donor car. The one we picked has a very good chassis & an ugly body.

The 1st part of the dis-assembly process takes place right in front of the dumpster

We should be thanked for removing another aftermarket sunroof from circulation.

This should be a very interesting concept as I am seriously looking into doing a finale kit next year.......what motor are you going to use.

I can't wait to see how this turns out, I did a few photoshops in the other thread and like the overall idea. Obviously everyone has different tastes so I made my own changes, but either way this will be cool.

Power wash that baby.......

Let Her Drip Dry, (never put it away wet).....

& We're back at it again tomorrow....... As long as customer cars don't get in the way We'll be working on it everyday.

If we can get the body done fast enough, the engine will be an LS1.

I'm not sure of all the details yet but it will have Poly bushings, big brakes etc.

Maybe there's a reason I haven't been able to afford a V8 sooner. I was waiting for an LS1.
I'm bookmarking this thread NOW.
