Fieroman: I'm using Rhino3d.

Amida: I like your idea. I was just looking at the inlets on the 69 & 70 Firebirds, too. I might go more like that and incorporate 99+ Grand Am head and tail lamps, or the newer Bonny tail lamps. So many decisions. Good thing it's just in the computer. This could get expensive trying to do it for real.

i have been trying to get ahold of this guy to see if this project was ever finished, and i am pretty close to getting ahold of him.

Apparently this guy, Mark Towle, is one of the world's leading builders of reproduction Batmobiles. This is one of his recent cars built for a customer (here in Florida i believe ?).

His shop is in San Bernardino, California and apparently fittingly it is pretty stealth,..the only thing that reportedly might catch your eye, is a bat logo on one of the doors hehehe.

** edit to update, i have made contact with him, see below **

If the silver 4-seater had a chop top it'll look like the red one that was photoshopped. I wonder if that project in the driveway photo was finished also; looks pretty exotic.

Might be good timing, i think Archie has publically mentioned several times before about wanting to do a streched fiero.

A coupe with a longer stretch, 9" or so, may look like this drawing. Sail panels adjusted with slight body slope.

Thought I'd add a fender flare kit to widen the track a little, & to keep things in proportion.

Front view: Slight fender flaring, not much, maybe by 1" front, 2" rear. Lower chin spoiler as well.

Here's the rear view of the stretched coupe with 2" flares, 9" rims, new taillights & honeycomb engine grill. Does anyone know what is the minimum stretch required to get a N*/Audi trans to fit into the Fiero?

I wonder if it's possible to take a drawing & make it look similar to a real life photo? I use Photoshop Elements, but I'm not sure if the program is capable of doing this. Anyone know?

Like the front spoiler Bob. How about opening up the grill more for projector headlights? Also, like the broadened shoulders over the wheels.

It does look a little like the very rare '89 Corvair (No pun intended )
Here's a back shot:

Amida:
It looks good, but I think it looks too narrow through the mid section, towards the front.

Bob

Edit: The above shot is using '69 Firebird tail lamps. I forgot to put in the back-up lamps...Next rev...

The dimensions are a little off from freehand drawing, bodyline is supposed to start at stock Fiero line and slope upwards to the rear.

lowered the rockers just a tad to get things into better proportion, and filled in the wheels. I'm starting to like the fender flare idea...may try it on my '88 Formula.

had to fix front wheel size.

Obviously I am not done this photoshop.. But its a start. Maybe get you a little more modivated to take it farther. I used my 80's trans am tails in this one, so its pretty close to yours. Just a thought.

Yep, I recognize those tail lights...blackened Testarossa style. That's a cool looking rear end...sort of has an S7 look. I'll need to get a drawing tablet, which is what you're using I presume.

I modified the rear end to how I will create it. The build up has already begun. It is only a matter of time.

Take a minute and follow my build, it too might give you a good idea on how you can build yours.

Bob, That looks pretty tight! I'm gonna guess Bonneville ? Ya know I think the 300zx headlights will be perfect for that design due to the sharper/flatter angle of the bonnet/fascia. Even better yet the Vette C6 lights will better compliment the front intakes. It's amazing how you can update the look of the Fiero so much from just changing some details on the front & rear fascias.

Cleaned up some lines & added wheels on the previous drawing:

Good eye Joe, F50, NSX & R8 influence on side mounted wing stands. With the long lines of the '84 TA tail lights in Custom2M4's design, a long wing seemed complimentary. I might draw up a version without the wing for comparison. Amida

Amida,
I saw a Bonneville driving behind me the other day. I thought the front would look kinda cool on the Fiero. I was thinking of using the tail lights at one time, so I guess it was a natural progression. Now I have to figure out how to model it. Hmm?
Your last drawing is pretty hot. I think you lost the Fiero theme somewhere, but I'd take one, hands down.

Bob, Yes there's not much left of the Fiero in that last one, but I did try to design around the stock door glass. This next one I played off of your Bonneville theme. More mods needed for this one...changes to hood, wider fenders, headlights, framing. But, there's still a Fiero beneath it.
