I put the design on my shop for anyone that wants it. There's zero markup on this, I don't feel right charging for it. Enjoy!



There's a lot of different styles for men and women with lots of colors to chose from!

Please visit My Fiero Store for unique Fiero Merchandise- If you'd like to have something custom made for yourself or your club to be included in the store, let me know!

Console piece is on the way. Hope it survives the trip. When it arrives, you'll understand why I never went into gift wrapping as a profession.

Make sure that engine is secured properly for transportation. You don't want to risk any damage to it or your vehicle from it shifting around while you drive.

out the top is difficult, but I would not try it with the auto trans. I had to remove the alt and ac brackets when it got snagged on the decklid hinge assembly.
will post some more pics later this afternoon.

we jammed the old boom box and stuff between it and a thick rubber mat on the other side and took it very easy on the way home from my parents. I will build a support system for transport to pittsburgh.

If you remove the trunk hinges, water pump housing, and alternator, even the Iron Duke can come out the top.
