ok, i need 5 people that want to buy steel kits, they will be $500 (this is to get started) then i'll be getting the titanium supplies and extra tools i need to make them in titanium. the titanium kits will be $650, should find out when i'll have them ready in a week or less. most likely it will be about a month

forgot i have 2-3 people that want them already, just need a couple more

was just thinking about this, what would be so different on different fiero's that it wouldnt work? and if its something with the frame then they will have to modify something and make it work, they are going to be adjustable...

settings for how far the door opens outward, and settings for how far it opens vertical. just getting info so i get it right the first time. thanx

Please don't take this in a negative way...

I am interested in buying a set, but as you have seen... People have been screwed in the past. Can you disclose more information about yourself, who's doing the work (forget if it is you or an outsource), and any character references from people you have done business with in the past, and/or references of work they have done before this project? Your/there location, etc?

I am eager to get a quality kit, but I'm on the fence if I should wait for a finished product pictures with an "in stock" or available status first.

The first available bolt on will get my business, but I'd like to help if you don't have enough interested pre-orders. That's my dilemma.

i'm located in NW KS, basicly in the middle of nowhere lmao
i'm doing this myself, i will be making a prototype this week hopefully.. and should be getting a fiero to put it on within a couple weeks, then i will be making atleast 1-2 a day, so i will have them as soon as i get it on and working. just starting this for a small business because i dont have a job and i like to build things i'll get pics as soon as i can. along with a build thread. any more questions?

change of design... it wont look like that, been told by someone it wouldnt work right/might not be strong enough

it will mount in stock mounting location on the car, and the doors might be stock, might have to weld/bolt something inside to re-enforce it. dont want anything to break

btw, could someone take a pic of stock hinges on a fiero? like with the door open looking in, thanx (it will help me get the design before i get the car)

FWIW, I'm in Russell, Ks, and I ran into a couple in Hays about a month and a half ago that were there from Sharon Springs and they have something like 11 Fieros on their place. I don't have their names and they didn't give me a card, but I gave them mine. I might be able to find them if you need parts or something to mock up or I have several parts cars.

UPDATE


after doing some research, there is no way to do a direct-bolt on, you have to do some drilling and maybe some cutting, it will be one hinge mounted in stock location(have to drill on the door because its welded from the factory on most cars) with plates inside the door and inside the frame where the hinges bolt on stock if possible. so basicly it will still be a bolt on, just not a direct-bolt on after i get a car to start on i'll probly have a couple changes but looks like i'm about done with that part of it. i think i will have a prototype of the hinge by the end of this week, working on getting a car to do it on......


P.S. i hope this doesnt change anyone's minds about this

If for any reason one wanted to revert to the original hinges at a later date, would this be possible or will any of the required modifications permanently alter the original hinge mounting points?

may have to do some welding if you wanted it back to stock, the stock hinges are welded to the door. but i'll either be using the stock mounting points or make new ones, you will have to do is some drilling and cut the stock hinges off the door to install them.
