Very interesting !

i can't wait to see where you are going with this one.

Is that hood from another vehicle ?

Don't know if u were aware but there is a guy selling fiberglass fiero noses, that would make modifying and or widening your nose 10 times easier than a stock one.

keeping the stock fiero nose.. i like it! Keeps the fiero feel, not trying to be something its not (ie// replicar, not bashing those that have one.). You have my attention!

yes it is a stock pontiac solstice hood i got for a case of beer and has lead me to where im at now trying to out do the ever beautiful arch rival i will have new pics this weekend when i go to work to work on it.i know that theres norms hood out there but it just didn't have the look i wanted

what he ment is that there is someone making fiberglass copies of the Aeronose, which makes them easier to work on than the plastic (or w/e you call it) stock aeronose. Ill find the link.

Not sure what the gameplan is, but might you section out a piece from the center of the hood to make it more compatable with the fiero width, then pull a mold for a lightwieght front ?

I know you are doing a widebody, but it still looks a bit too wide ?

It could be just the angles of the pic playing tricks on my eyes.

At any rate this has the potential to look pretty darn awesome ! Great job.

Looks good, I like the starting shape a lot!

Just throwing it out there but madcurl, you don't have anything to do with this right?...

heres the headlights going in

and as far as shortening the the width im going to keep it the way it is even thought it makes the front an 1 1/2 wider

If I may ask, what are you're going to do with the back end of the Fiero? Add a Soltise rear clip?

no im not going to use the solstice rear clip, im going to use ferrarri 430 inspired rear bumper using as much fiero dna as possible, then add surrounds to it like the saleen mustang to tye it into there widebody

hers some new pics for you guays as it sits today.i hope you guys enjoy,please give me feedback and question i would love to answer all of them.

I am VERY interested in the Solstice front hood. You say the width is 1.5' wider per side? Looks like the passenger side fender is wider than that?

No, I bet he's just going to take 3" or so out of the middle afterwards.... right now working off the edge of the stock piece I bet...

If you look I'd say he's got a good 3 or so inches hanging over the end....

i think it is the picture playing tricks with you eyes.the solstice hood has the front suspention so close to the front bumper that it looks really wide but by the time i cut the hood and slide the opening back to where the fiero one was, it is only 1 1/2 wider.but now that i got that one side done in the rough stage i will go back and remeasure it, to get the final measurement the first on was a rough guess. i actually do not cut the hood and remove material from the center, in fact i actually added a little pie piece into it to get the back of the hood wider and get a nice curve to the whole body.

I like the look of the front.
and I know you are still working on it but the sides and the rear need to be a bit rounder to match the front.
I cant wait to see more. keep us posted.

okay i just measured it today i i was way off on the measurement it is 2 3/4 in the front and 4 1/2 in the rear.

hey curley how wide is yours in the rear and how wide of tires do you got in the back?

the front is actually rather aggressive, and i tryed to carry the same aggresive theme to the back.but it really doesn't start til you get to the wheel opening on the front trying to work out that issue and make it more aggresive.

I'm curious, have you addressed in the new hood the anti-decapitation pins and where they will catch the solstice hood?

...I'd love to see your inspiration, pictures... those lines are extremely familiar to me... Hey Archie, seen those profile curves and cuts before...

i love it keep it up!
just keep at it and dont quit.

Very cool!!! Please keep us updated. Judging by the toys in the back ground, you have some good experience in body work.

This is one crazy build!

Hey serfius, I'm down in Calgary. Do you ever hook up with the Fiero club up there?
I'd love to see this thing in person.
Keep up the great work!

hey no i don't actually go to the meets i know i should but i just don't got the time to right now to busy with the build of this car and others. i plan to when i finish this one to go maybe we can meet up in the summer for the edmonton calgary fiero meet.as for the rims there just mock-up that im using need something more flashy, there lambo knock off that will go on the plastagini when it ever gets done.

I like the other way better. Simple is better, too many openings starts to look too busy and overdone to me.
