I seem to only have enough brain energy and money to work on one Fiero at a time. I've been trying to resurrect Proud-2 for the past couple of months and that job is not complete yet.
Not really an update, but since you gave me a bump, I'll repost the Ruckus Pics
Is there anything left you want to accomplish on #14 ?
Thanks... the body is substantially complete but I have a million little jobs to complete along with completing the interior and detailing everything. I don't know if it will ever be a show car as I don't really enjoy the detailing part too much. And as Mike indicates I still need to put the side glass in.
Here's a lighter version of the original uncompressed image
I know that a lot of professional automotive photographers love that early evening light for shots, when the sun is lower and they get more color "richness ' and better reflections off the subject, but that evening light is also tricky and brief. You obviously know how to manipulate your digital images, so having the original files, it looks like you can work them a bit to get close to what you want. Your car looks fantastic! (I shoulda chopped my top..I shoulda chopped my top...I shoulda chopped my top......wanders off mumbling to himself.....)

Yeah I should have lightened them before posting but I was too lazy. I was quickly snapping pics before I lost all the light altogether. Thanks for the compliments Randye
I don't think I will be repainting this car any time soon... if you review the last 10 pages or so of this thread you will know why.
Thanks for the sig Danyel. I generally don't use a sig because most people here know me...but it probably wouldn't hurt to use one occasionally.

Bumps are great, it gives people who have only recently been paying attention a chance to check out some really amazing Fieros.
That's one helluva nice weapon you've got there Jscott, the trials and tribulations have ultimately resulted in the building of one seriously mean machine. And made me want vertical hinges!

Yeah I lost two of them and I just gave up on buying replacements. Eventually I intend to find smaller caps for just the hubs. For now I think they look alright like that too.
JScott, I just finished installing NSX scoops in my hood. Is that what you used? I barely squeezed mine in in such a manner that I didn't have to modify the front compartment and weather stripping. Did you have to modify yours? I like how yours looks on the inside better than what I came up with. Was filler used to make the scoops "blend in"? Thanks!

No, those are Aus Fiero stage II Scoops imported from Australia. I blended them in myself with fiberglass and mat and then smoothed over with filler. I don't know of another completed example of those scoops so they may be the only ones in the world.
My front compartment weather strip is unaffected by the vent.
