It's better to make moulds of the light pockets rather than having to re-shape by hand each time I do it. Epoxy has no solvents to attack the paint so with a little waxing ( & some PVA for insurance ) these moulds just pop right off. Shown in photo with alignment jigs to help positionoing of the inserts before glassing in.

Oh, no your not!!

That's soooo not fair to us GT owners! Come on! Youre going to make a rear diffuser now?? Damn.

Now that would be SWEEEEEET

It would look pretty cool, but if it is just an attachable part it wouldn't look anything close to it; will have to re-do the whole rear bumper for that look.

Sir,

If you begin selling the front 355 bumpers, I would appreciate being included upon the list for this. Would be going with the version with the Liberty clear turn signals if that will be available at that point and time.

Thanks

Was wondering what happened to you. Did you get it charging good? Are you planning to make it to the Fest ? http://www.nwfierofest.com/

After sitting in the driveway for so long, things on the car corrode & deteriorate. First was the clutch system, then the Alt. I'm going to go over the cooling system next before going on any out-of-towners. The Richland event sounds interesting, I'll see if I can make that meet. Maybe I'll have the rockers modded by then.

I have a Coolant System Pressurizer you can borrow if you want to test for leaks.

Thanks Steve. I'll let you know when I start working on the cooling system.

I'm starting to see the end of the tunnel - and at the end is one awesome Fi40 interior

Final mock-up before prep & upholstery. Instrument panel & defrost screens are not shown. Color will be black & tan .

Black and tan huh? I wonder how that looks? lol

Well, The Formula just had a major clutch system failure in the driveway so it doesn't look like I'll be taking the Formula anywhere soon. After just installing a new alternator from the Fierostore, I started up the engine and felt an odd shaking in the clutch pedal during startup. I pressed the pedal down a couple more times to investigate when all of a sudden I heard POP ! and then emmediately I felt no pressure in the pedal followed by a scraping ticking sound from the engine bay. Something just broke & I'm not completely sure, but I think it's the release fork/throwout bearing. Maybe the pressure plate just fell apart, but whatever it is the tranny needs attention now.

Anyone heard of this happening before?

Replacement Fi355 door moulds, replica version, in progress. The original moulds have deteriorated to the point of no return so I'm taking this time to create newer epoxy tooling. These will save on prep time, hide the upholstery fold, & will be a little more rounded on the top edge.
.

Glad to see you decided to keep building the interior, Rob. Definitely the best out there!

It's been keeping me busy along with the Fi40 dash & the Fi355 noses (#005 right now ). Next up will be the Fi360 interior.

Also, maybe some fender flares & a rear diffuser.

Thanks.

360 interior would be good. I might have to get one of John's 360 kits one of these days to go along with it.

I'm lovin it!

Fi40 dash updates?

Bob, I'll be back on it in a couple of days; Had to get the door panel tooling squared away so that I can get a few interior sets out the door.

Worked a couple hours this morning trimming & drilling valance panel #005.

New & improved Fi355 door panel moulds completed. Ready for waxing.

Rob, Are you thinking about joining us at the NW Fiero Fest ?

Fresh Fi355 door panels from the new moulds fit precisely & require much less prep work than earlier version.
