Ok, who do I have to kill to get you to build one for me?

I will be starting the proto type some time next year and once it is done I will then decide if I will make it avalable as a kit so stay tuned

I was just watching a Top Gear Lamborghini episode with the Miura. What an incredible automobile. V12, top speed 180, and in the 1960's!! Beautiful styling, although it could use more modern rubber.

I loved a couple of the interesting bits they mentioned about the car....

"The fuel tank is over the front wheels, so as you run low on petrol the front end goes light and you can't steer. Nice."
"...and every once in a while the carbureators will spit some petrol on the exhaust and the whole car will go up in flames."

Sounds like a great candidate for a Fiero rebody.

Whoa - that's literally just up the road from me (I actually graduated from Lakeville HS)... Now I'm trying to recall if I've seen that car in any vintage races - I'll have to keep my eye out for it now!

Hollidays are almost over and it will be time to get back to work on the rear suspension setup
I want toget it ready to install so I can make the upper mounting pioints for the upper control arms :l

bubba get to work needed a reminder LOL

i just got a reminder of this kit car, it looks like a familiar setup it has a c5vette suspension, space frame chassis, porsche transmision, and a GM V8 in the trunk! weighs around 2500 too! Well looks like this car of this car being built will be just as bad ass as this

their facility is 1/2 hour drive from me, my brother used to be in there shipping and receiving dept and I did some computer work for them...I tried to get them to do Fiero kits... Didn't work though

you are crazy..... (bump)

got my new gass cap cover today and will start molding a holder for it to mount it into the body

Hey that's mine !!! J/K (I wish)

I finished the mounting tub and now have to put in the screw mounts into it so I can mount it into the body

looks like a toilet......=P

That looks pretty slick. Almost aviation-ish. I can't tell, is the release cable operated or electric?

On a side note, on your corvette brake upgrade, are the rear caliper brackets '88 or '87, if one is using the '88 calipers. My thinking would be the '88's, but thought I'd check.

Is that the cover of a CD spindle you used for a mold? Very clever! Keep up the good work, I have been enjoying this thread for a long time. I don't think you should ever finish the car 'cause then I wouldn't get to watch the updates.

Nice job what is it off of?

2 litre icecream tub worked great

Thanks Bobert, those are the last pieces I'm missing and that's what I figured, use the '88 brackets with the '88 calipers. The '88 brackets are still a good GM P/N, the '87 are discontinued.

Thanks again

no just so cold its hard to get any work in Im hopping for some warmer weather so I can get some work done

I just found this thread, kinda sad because I wasn't intent on the updates until now. But I will be watching this thread like a hawk. I just have a question or two concerning the dash. I am seriously debating whether or not I should put one of those in my car... I really want to but im not sure that I am as electrically gifted as most others. How much time did you spend wiring your car? and is it a project that could be taken on by a few semi-experienced people? I have a couple of friends who are better at wiring than me and they said they could lend a hand, this is why i ask. THX

If you're really interested in doing the dash swap, double-click on the link in my signiture and follow jscott1 and mrfixit58's build-up. If you fast forward to the last page, you'll see what jscott1 is doing to make the gauge cluster a plug-n-play task.

Enjoy,
