Nice job !! If you had told me you painted the rear wing black on an orange car I would have thought ' tacky '. But seeing it looks pretty cool. I like about everything on it except the remains of side moldings on the front fenders.

Look closer: it looks like carbon fiber. You can see the cross hatch pattern behind his head.

Yeah its definately either carbon fiber, fiberglassed and painted, or fiberglassed and covered in a "carbon fiber" sheet.

I can't wait for a build thread, so I can truly appreciate and understand the work you put into this beauty.

Is that carbon Fiber headliner I see ?

Alex are you telling me you did not win best of show ??

[This message has been edited by exoticse (edited 03-26-2006).]

Sweet car

Question, was the trunk not latched in all those photos or is it not lined up flush with body for some other reason?

I like the two tone on the interior, is that leather or vinyl wrapped over the fiberglass? Anything you could do to line up where the black/white meet at the console? Didn't notice it until you mentioned minor points and started staring for something that could be deducted.

What is the orange done with on the interior? Is that the same as the exterior paint or something else?

I love the black wing on the orange car, but then again I've been a classic mustang fan for decades. Glad you didn't put Mach 1 emblems on it ;-)

Excellent job, tons of tasteful mods right at the edge of going over the top.

Hehehehe,

Since i took the pics i can help you with one question.

Alex was lining his car up for judging in some of the pics and the trunk was unlatched so the judges could look inside the engine compartment.

That is what you are seeing.

The compartments were all open just set down for judging, and yes Exoticse we did not get best of show, but what am I gonna do cry ? I am happy with the 1st in Custom, but best in show would have definatly made me happier. I actually did not see the car that did so I hope to get chance sometime. I'm pretty new to the fiero competions so maybe nex year I'll fix the things that were deducted and win.!?

Gorgeous car!! That took a lot of hard work and time. You should be proud, you are now up there with the best!!

On another note, CoolBlue, you live in an outhouse?

Anyway, please give me a call.

yoru not the only one bud haha...iam just in love with the interior of that thing lol

The roof looks like its paited, but i fact its the Kingdom Kustoms Carbon Fiber headliner.
I love carbon fiber and the aww factor it gets. In the future look for some interesting trim and other parts made from the material. You never know what people are gonna pull out of theur sleeves.
Thans for the comments and I just want everyone to know that the build topic will cover everything so ask away.!!

Nice! I like it.

I see it has no plates, but that's a good thing. You guys can NOT drive that car on the street... for the good of the Fiero hobby, we can't allow the risk of a wreck. Awesome job!

wow - now thats impressive - the only thing i don't like is how the foglights were done - everything else is amazing

Alex,

A word of advice.

Prepare to be followed and talked senseless everytime you take this beauty out on the road.

i like it!

Been there, saw that, wish there was a t-shirt! That was one beautiful car! I was disappointed that only one chop-top showed up. Archie had two great cars there too!

The "Best Idea" award was not given out. Of course, FieroGTRwideboby would have walked away with it.

No "Hard Luck" award this year.

"Long distant" award was given, maybe someone remembers his name.

quote Originally posted by CoolBlue87GT: No "Hard Luck" award this year.

What, 3-wheelin' doesn't count?! LOL

I'll take that one!

If the UPS saga wasn't "Hard Luck", I don't know what is. hehe

Shawn sorry we misconnected !

I was around for sure. i was hanging out with Miss-tress and her husband 007, Jscott1, and a bunch of guys from Central Florida Fieros.

I spent a lot of time drooling all over this car too hehehehe. Next time just look for the most customized cars and that is where you will probably find me.

Not sure i even know what you look like was also a problem. Maybe we all need to wear those little stick on badges with our PFF names next time hehehe.

Alex

Hope you don't mind ? I had the forum photoshop guru Custom2m4 do a photo-chop on your car just to see what it would look like as a choptop.

Hmmmm,...

awsome car, great work on the glass, and good thing about seeing those rims cuz i was looking at them about 3 months ago but questioned how deep of a dish was on the lip, now i have my answer. and ur like a hop skip and jump away from me. so i hope to see ur ride on the road.

I was at the Daytona show with several friends. We were not judges at the show, but are totally baffled by the judging!!
The Fiero highlighted here DID NOT win BEST IN SHOW - W H A T ????????????????
Just my opinion, but the judges must have been on - well, whatever drug or drugs you choose.
Just the opinion of oh, two dozen people, excluding the car owner.

------------------

The car is nice but to tell you the truth I didnt even go look at it. There were other cars that I wanted to see more. I didnt even get to see all of the cars there.
It looks like it has a lot of work in it but so did the car that took home best of show.

Bring it back next year and try again.

Thanks for your positive comments. I am not one to cry about the judging outcome, Of course I would have liked to take Best of Show this year, but the way I look at it the people have spoken and whether I got that award or not i know what people think and that good enough. I am happy for the other owner and he can have the trophy. I had lots of fun and there is no point in complaining over the award, some did not even get 1 award, so why should I cry over not getting 2? Thanks to everyone involved that made Dayona possible, and maybe next year everyone will get surprised again with another creation that will be good ebough for Best of Show...

Thanks again
Alex
