Any progress on the GT4T look-a-like dash you mentioned, to fit the stock interior cars? Or are you waiting for your clone to show up to finish that project?

I thought I should bring this thread up to date on a few of the other things that have been going on at Archie's in the last few weeks.
This car just left for home today........You may have seen it last year at the FieroRama. It was powered by a 4 cylinder 5 speed. Don't pick on him anymore, now it has an LT1.

The Clone would be helpful.
Actually I have a "secret" dash project that the glass guy started pulling molds off of today. Then the dash your talking about is next.

Hey Archie, do you have any more pics of the front nose from a side angle?
Questions: How much futher-out does the front clip stick-out comparred to the stock GT front fascia? Can a person buy just the front piece including part of the side fender and hood? Do you have any close-ups of the hood raised and from underneath it?
Thanks madcurl

The front over hang on the Finale is actually 4" shorter than the stock Fiero GT nose.
I don't have any pics of the underside of the hood that I can think of, but I'll see if I can find some.
I can sell the front clip & hood seperately. However, the width of the trailing edge of the front fenders is about 2" wider than the stock door panels so something has to e done to blend them in.

I'd like to see the finale as a front only kit. I like what they did on the nose, but the sides and back are horrible imo. A nose only finale with the IRM rockers, and a chop top would kick ass. Someone PS that plz. Throw in some cool wheels if ya can.

Sorry Archie, couldn't help myself. Ever considered anything like this? Cheers Jim
Editted to add the obligatory choptop version.
Wow, that looks GREAT!!!!!!
You just added another car to the long list I call "Projects I have to do".
I hate you!
The funny thing is that Friday, before we left the shop for the weekend Rob, Kris & I were talking about what our next project would be & we discussed a Finale Roadster.
I can't wait to show them these pics Monday.

Glad you like them Archie. I for one would love to see that built. It takes the Finale to a whole new level. Plus think of all the potential Solstice owners you could steal off GM

Do you have any more views from different angles? Like a view that shows the headrest decklid area.

If you can get me some good shots from the back, slightly above and from the back 1/4 view and an overhead shot I can show you what I had in mind.
OK, Have a bunch of pics from different angles of Finales' but not of this yellow one. I hope you're thinging of a between the seats body colored waterfall and narrow headrests & seat backs.
Here are a few more pics.

I did both, believe me you won't regret it. If you haven't checkout out the PFF Spyder build up in tech go there now. I almost missed it.

Would there be anyway of taking the hatch piece from a Finale body kit and putting it onto a stock fiero body? I think the idea of a stock looking fiero wtih a hatch and window would be a great idea. Kinda like ferrari's (the 360 modena and F355 in mind) and just have a showcase for the engine...just wondering

It's an LT5 out of the C4 Corvette ZR1. DOHC 32 Valve V8 designed in cooperation with Lotus, built by Mercury if I remember right. Basically one of the rarest motors to go in the Vettes, with ZL1s.
