You're doing a great job on this project. I can't wait to see it completed and painted. Just one criticism. The lights you put on the fenders would look better if the lights were in front of the grilled part in my opinion. It looks great as is, I just think that would be a little better. But it is your project and I have great respect for you and your engineering skills.

tried that and they looked out of place because of the angled tip not matching the door and fender parting line

I have notticed that most of the members who followed this thead and have posted there Ideas are not around anymore I just wonder where they are now ? Have not see them posting on the forum.
I'm still reading. What is that spoiler from? I really like it on the Formula fascia albeit I wouldn't want the lights. How did you modify it to work on the Fiero unless I missed something some pages back.

hey BubbaJoe, if you need my input just let me know ..I am in awe of your insight ..I think your project is an inspiration to all Fiero enthusiasts ..Imagine an extended wheelbase Fiero with a "proper motor and transaxle" from an artist needing input from anybody ..how modest ..keep inspiring us

BTW, I had a 800hp third gen Z28 and I just love how you incorporated the rear glass into the Fiero ..I love my Z like no other car except for Ferrari but I couldn't be faithful to her in the end ..Who could love a front engined American Ferrari over a mid engined American Ferrari? I would love it if you somehow added the 82 -83 crossfire injection intake ecm controlled hood flaps somehow into your work of art ...

It looks as if its almost finished! Are you sure you want foglights there.....I really like the sleek look it has now... But you can take some pvc tubing (slightly larger radius than the foglights) to try out some mockups.. think they fit nice besides the mouth where you have the rectangle thingies in the corners.. take care.

when to the body shop today and picked out a bumper shell I need to do the rear bumper extension and lower dam shape to house the new exhaust tips and plate .When finished it will also be a bolt on part .will start on it tomorrow morning need to clean the shell and pred it today
I have to honestly say that at the beginning I couldn't see myself liking this project at all. But now that I see the end result I have to admit that it came out great! You are an extremely skilled man. Great job

Joe; That is looking better all the time, personaly I think the best change came when you lost the station wagon look and went with the hatch. I know that it meant spending more time changing things, but it's time well spent. It really seemed to set the tone for the whole project, I can't wait to see it finished.
Cheers Beers n Gearz. Joe
