HOLY **** ! The fastback lines on that car are amazing. It's almost exactly what I have drawn up. I want to see more. Best widebody I have seen. It looks like the sails have been brought in but actually the body has been built out. (If I am correct)

Someone told me that my engine was taking up my trunk space.. I quickly responded with "NO, my trunk is taking up my engine space" hahaha.

Now that is hot !!
i remember when he first got his dubs ! Pre-widebody.
Very close to what i have in mind with my choptop, using the madcurl/ v-8Archie widebody kit.
widebody is definatly the way to go if you want to customize or mod up your fiero beyond stock.

Hello. That's what I'm talkin' bout.
Whats the rim widths? Did you widen out the rear bumber? Rear pics?

WOW Car-Lo, that is looking pretty HOT!!!!
Looks like Madcurl has some competition......and I think you might have yours in paint before he does (no offence Curly) .....how long has this "project widebody" been in the works????
Oh.....do you have any build-up pictures of the widebody. Kinda curious if you made molds out of fiberglass, or are going to paint over the bodywork "build-up"!

This is, "All Good" in my book. I love it when a person raises the bar and tweaks the heck out of their Fieros. Not only did he widen the Fiero, he tweaked the rocker opening and made it straight instead of a curved or corner----- It's that type of creativness I love. Granted, he has DUBs too, hehe. Whats "best" about it,.....its still a Fiero. By his creation, "All those who could have gone, "Wide body" but didn't are now on notice.
Whose car will be painted first? Not me since I have too serve "Mankind" by keeping my car ar Archie's, hehe.
#015 (old news, hehe)

NO it's way to beautiful to chop!
The widebody makes the stock top look perfect. I cannot wait to read your buildup.

When I see these I understand that my next step is to go wide. 100% sure.
Is the wide peace on the pic for sale somewhere or home made?

Really nice chopped, that's what I always wanted too!
Hey Sharkman, don't eat Flipper above you, he he.
The rear extenstions are only from fastback rear clip cut to fit.

You are amazing at fiberglass! I wish I could do that kind of stuff. I would pay a lot for a rear clip/doors like that because there is no way I would do that myself.
