I know what you mean Tony, and I’m feeling the same way. Let’s hope that everything works ok for us this time, and that we both get our butts going with our projects, so we can get our cars ready for D8 and then we’re going to have twice the fun we had this year.

Thanks Tony, I'm looking forward for the rest of the body parts...

If you do decide to 5" or 7", make sure you don't forget the wing tips. Otherwise, you'll end-up with a big ole' surf board-like gismo on the back of your Fiero.
Hey Tony, are you next in line for the wide body rockers? You know we only have 5-months left for CTHC-2.

ok i can do that-although i havent decided if i want to go wing or wingless but if i do go wing its gonna be tall- did you get yours custom made or did you use something specific-like a kit or a certain piece of an original fiero- do you have a link to the build of #11 or at least the wingtips?

The wind stands were made by Fiero Warehouse or IRM from back in the day. I forget, it's been so long ago (1998?) The wing tips where done here in CA. The link to #011 is here: https://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum1/HTML/032834.html
IMO I'd have Archie and the Crew perform the task while the car is getting chopped. As for anything over 5"...I'd hold out on that mod. You'll get a better "feels" for the car once you view a choptop with a raised wing. It be better to view the thread, "Choptop, widebody and Wings." https://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum1/HTML/050437.html

curly i know your all about the car looking stock-well semi-stock but i'm going for a race inspired look for my fiero..my problem with these type of wings is that they can either make or break the car-theres no happy medium

Troyboy's car just left me speechless, but i rather enjoyed his Driven Visions hood vents.
I'm just curious: Is it still possible to store the roof glass in the front compartment with this hood scoop? If not, then that's the biggest hood scoop that still allows for the roof glass to be stored in it's stock location?

sorry i didnt rely specify what i was talking about when asking you if you had "yours custom made" i meant did you have your wing tips custom made..
I did my own wingtips... It was the first fiberglass work I have ever done, and they came out okay. I started with a 2 inch tall piece of carrboard cut to the approximate shape, then I taped it onto the wingtip. Then I took the fiberglass cloth dipped in resin and started laying it on the cardboard, at least three layers on each side. After that I topped it off with fiberglassed reinforced filler, (bondo) and sanded to the desired shape.

Basically replinishing my fun money, after another frustrating setback. No fret though, the piggybank is almost ready.
You've since passed the deadline for the Choptop reunion in exchanging the rear clip & preping prior to the show. Are you still coming to the reunion or should I start new using a different rear clip? Remember..."New ideas are a terrible thing to waste."
