Troy, we did a test fit of the mirrors onto the mounting brackets that we made for Curley's 360 mirrors.

They appear to be a really good fit.

What do you think?

We're going to make brackets for your car right away, so let me know if it looks ok.













We should have pics of them on your car tomorrow.

Archie

Wow! Nice fit and trim.

I took about 60 pics of this car outside today & it looks great from all angles.

The shape & look of these mirrors are perfect for this car.

Seems like your looking at the Fiero Limo with the caved in center.

I'll take some pics of it by Monday.

That car is for sale real cheap.

The car isn't caved in. The builder did a real good job of welding 2 Fieros together with a boxed framework that's a straight as an arrow. The only thing that I would have done differently is to use 3 Fiero roof sections instead of 2. The Forward section of the rear Fiero & the back section of the front Fiero dip down because of their original roof lines. The dip down in the gap between the 2 roofs makes it look like it's not straight.

Archie

That is an incredible job on that car, Archie. It is sweet!

Kudos to you and your crew!

Pete

maybe ill keep saving so ill have enough to make you a reasonable offer, did this car run/drive?
im in the process of getting a rust free 87 coupe cleaned up enough that i can start drilling out the spot welds, i was going to use two fiero's and extend them i was figuring two years for just the stretch time, by then i might be able to save up enough (got a new baby on the way so saving money takes alot of time when i only get about 25,000 a year after taxes) who knows, maybe ill one day be able to get that car from you, You dont need a indy pace car do ya ive got one that needs alot of restoration work, and doesnt have an engine currently.

Hmmmm..........how much you looking for the car? Maybe I can help finance your limo project a bit. I'd love to have a Indy to play with.

How's it going with the doors Archie?

Did you get the Support phone # I sent?

Do you need me to order more or replacement parts?

Does the power work on the mirrors?

Right side door is mounted.

I got the number, I'll call them.

Do you have a wiring diagram for the mirrors?

It's beautiful, and I'll never be able to afford one or the time to craft one or LEARN how to craft one. You're good Archie. If I get a V8, I'm going to you. If you can do work that nice, your kit should be just fine for me (and I EXPECT to have to adjust stuff, not going to expect things to slide in perfectly).

::sighs again::

Can you make a couple of posters? I'll buy one off your website :P

Congrats to you and your crew for an awesome, awesome job...dang it, haven't gotten this choked up since I was last dumped.

I'm sure the F-guys will share that info, hehe.

Shipping a mystery part off to you tomorrow Archie. Trust me you'll like it

Hey Troy, why not use "IMSA" in place of the F430?

I'm just going to fill it in and go smooth, the IMSA sounds good but.......$$$. I'm at my limit when it comes to mirrors.

HI all

Archie you do some FABTASTIC work!! Great car! Troyboy you are one creative genius!! May I ask where you got the idea for the F430 mirrors? Cuz I have almost the same idea for an IMSA of my dreams... I'd like to build or have built one day when i'm outa school, or win that stupid lottery, a custom IMSA too, only I thought of using ferrari 348 side mirrors.... HAha, When I saw Russ454 ( I think that is his username ) create his northstar IMSA my jaw hit the floor!! Over the time till now i've had the fun task of developing the car in my head, that to me is a fun part of great in10se!!

OH!! Go to http://www.kitcar.ca A guy there named Funnywheels might be able to help you with the wiring diagrams! He built a watson 355 and used OEM 355 mirrors, along with another forum member, can't remember his name right now though... If you don't want to use the heated aspect of the mirrors I bet he'll be able to help out! He never wired up that part of the 355 mirrors..... YA know what, I'll get the ball rolling and PM him on the site, and I'll give him a heads up and this link!

I have to give credit to Madcurl for the mirrors, My wife for letting me buy them and Archie for putting them on and making them work. After seeing curly's car in person with the f360 mirrors I loved the updated look and started the quest for a set of mirrors for the perfect union. The list of candidates were : 350z power-fold, f360, 512TR, finally the f430. Curly push Hard for me to get the f430. When Curly likes an Idea he can be relentless, just ask Jscott1 and FierociousGT

Thanks for the info and the link, Keep your IMSA dream alive because Once you go IMSA you never go back

They do look nice, very exotic like the rest of the car.

Curley is relentless, but my wallet speaks to me more often and louder than Curley!
