You might want to check out Ari's Fiero-Based Kit Car Forum, at www.kitcar.ca ... there's a whole bunch of various Ferrari-kit info there.

It'll be for sale soon? I didn't think it was possible to get that lucky. If the owner reads this, PLEASE keep me updated when this comes about for sale. I'm definatly interested in it.

There are at least 3 ferrari kit cars onm eBay right now of various kinds.

By the way, you should also know that suppliers (Makers) of the ferrari kits keep a low profile because the ferrari lawyers have been enforcing their rights to the designs. In other words, if you find what you want, you should keep it low profile. If you like the F355, there are (relatively) a lot of them around but you might have to buy one from an individual owner insetad of buying a kit to assemble yourself.

Yep that’s my car; it is a modified AD kit. The AD is the best 355 kit in production. There are others but none as good as the AD Just as everyone on the Fiero kit car forum you will get the same answer I told you. I Actually did a few modes to mine to fit my taste and make the car more like a factory built car. I used the GT roof and molded the 355 Quarters to it I also used the Fiero engine cover and molded the 355 rear and scoop to it so I have a dry motor(it has a 4.9 with 5 speed) and a trunk that seals and is usable. If you really want to buy the car PM me and I can give you all the details like the doors open by their self by pushing a button on the remote. 200 MPH Speedo plus more goodies. I also made the door vents bigger it was more work but to me it looks better. Any way thanks for the compliment and when I finish the Interior it is for sale but I got to give Tom a ride before I sell it.

Hi all,

Yeah, it would be a good idea to check out the kit forum listed above...The AD kit is the best one out there concerning authenticity...However the guy who makes the AD kit has no website and doesn't get on the net at all, so ask for his contact info from a guy named funnywheels on the forum.......

If you want to do some shopping for the kit, there is a couple other manufactures..

Link # 1 http://www.b-bspyder.com

That's one of the nicest kit cars I've seen on a Fiero. Usually all the 355's are soft tops, rare to see a hard top. Nice work.

Do the AD kits require a stretched fiero frame?

I have wanted to do a 355 kit for quite a while, and from what I hear (and see) this looks like the nicest kit out there. But I want a kit that uses a stretched frame.

BTW, very nice work on the cars in this thread.

Most of them do not require a stretched frame.

I like that rebody. It is not over done like alot of them are.

Tom, do the stretched kits cost more? If I am ever going to do a kit, I want to make it as authentic as posible.

Nothing against the non stretched cars out there, but it's not what I want to do.

I wish I could have too. I wanted to go bad but I started the interior swap and could not have driven the car I would have been in the Mutt. It would be nice to get a trophy out of it. The AD comes both ways you can actually get an extended windshield version also. I recommend John to anyone that wants a 355 kit he is great and one of the nicest guys I have meet that sells Fiero Stuff. You can actually use real 355 bumpers, lights, grills and gas cover and his kits are even drilled for the emblems. I normally do not promote venders but John is one in a million unlike others I have dealt with. Buy the way anything I have is for sale if the price is right they are just possessions that you always hope someone else wants more than you.
