OK, so here is John as we are taking off the cardboard and getting the angle on the top of the foam bumper.


Here is the cardboard off the foam bumper and John trying to rush out of my way when I took the picture,
Sorry buddy - still gotcha - LOL


Another angle, sorta looks like a nascar front end right now, lol

X2!! Great photoshop work, Terry!! Thank you very much! I definately want to put that shape at the bottom!


> Question: Do you all like it to look like a separate black piece or would you like it all molded in and body color?

'68-69 GTO Nose - The Project Has Begun

I've been toying around for a while of creating a 3d model using Autodesk 3ds Max of a 70's Fiero. As in, what if Pontiac made the Fiero in the mid 70s instead of mid 80s, and I think this nose is exactly what I needed for inspiration to go ahead with the modelling. I started it today, and hopefully I'll finish the entire car before too long. I'm just doing this for fun in my spare time because I love making 3d car models. I've made 3 or 4 models now in the past year or so, and all of my cars are concept muscle cars. Here's an early render of the front bumper. The cool thing about the 3d model is I can render it in any angle and easily change the colors/proportions once it's done.

i think molded in and the same color would be my preference.

Well, here is the cool part, it will all be fiberglass so you can paint it whatever color you want!!

Holy heck !!! that looks really cool I am still behind the times I looked up the software and my mouth dropped and thought I'll stay behind the times http://www.amazon.com/gp/pr...17282&pf_rd_i=507846 great 3D rendering though

Wow that's expensive!!! I have Autodesk 2009, which is a bit outdated I guess but works fine for me. I got the student (non-commercial) version of the software free in one of my college classes last year (well, not really free with the ridiculous cost of tuition, but not $4,000...)

gee they both look good ... now i dont know which i like better both are awesome

Wow, that's one nice CtopTopped, suicide door, LT1 Fiero there.



I'll bet the driver is just as sleek & handsome as the car.

Might you have any other information on it?

I really like the look you guys are after. Where will the turn signals go?

Here is my thought on the black spoiler and you look fantastic Archie

We are going to try and ghost them, meaning you will not see them until they turn on. We are contemplating placing them behind the grill plates hidden.

Looking good!! Honestly, I was quite skeptical about the project until you added that chin spoiler (looks better in black btw). I love the GTO, but I wasn't sure a big mouthy grill would compliment the Fiero's sleek aerodynamic lines. Keep up the good work and PLEASE PLEASE post more pics so us non-body guys can learn from your awesomeness !!

What are the grills going to be made from?
