Any chance youd offer a discount for a chop top AND wide body at the same time? My wife ok'd a choptop after i fulfill some conditions.

Yeah there's a bit of a savings by doing both at the same time because combined amount of labor would be less that the labor when the 2 are done seperately. As far as getting the WideBody past her, just tell her "the Chop Top just makes it look wider".  Archie

The Chop Top without paint is $4495.00. The WideBody Kit is $1950.00 & installation without paint is $2200.00 making the total $8645.00. If we do both projects at the same time we will save some labor costs. Those savings would bring the total cost down to about $8300.00. Please note, We are currently working on optional WideBody front fenders. They will be available in about 2 weeks & will add a bit to the cost of the WideBody kit. Please note to anyone following this thread: The WideBody kit requires that you install Remote Power Doorlocks on your car if you don't already have them. Also You will need to choose & install (or have us install) new sidemarker lights with the Widebody kits. Archie

Well, I got good news & I got bad news. You decide which is which. It'll be a few days before I can post anymore pics of the Notchie version. We completed the job of glassing on the Door& Fender Caps & mounting up the Rocker Panels & the rear bumper earlier today. Then a customer of mine stopped by & bought all the panels off of that donor car. He's going to mount those panels to his Notchie & paint it in time to take it to My Open House & FieroRama the weekend of Sept. 8th & 9th. I'll also be sending him a set of the new optional wide front fenders to put on his car. The good news is that both the Notchie WideBody & the GT WideBody will make their 1st appearance on the FieroRama weekend. Archie

With the WideBody door caps you can still open the door with the original handle which is in it's original location just under the lip of the door cap. However the door cap covers up the original Fiero key lock. You can either relocate that door lock or you can install a remote door unlock system. This EBay auction is for one system. there are cheaper ones on EBay, just search for "remote door locks" http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymot...dZ1QQsspagenameZWDVWArchie

Is the person adding the bow-tie wing? If time permitted, those G35s would look pretty sweet right about now and blow away those fastbacks. [This message has been edited by madcurl (edited 08-18-2007).]

Go to www.billetspecialties.comI am using them for my custom wheels for my IMSA. Depending on the size you want, they range from 15x7 to 15x15. They also make 17" wheels up to 11" wide as well as every other size. Prices for most custom wheels are $420-$475 per wheel.

I would like to run 18" up front and 19" in the back none of those wheels are that big, plus they are more of the hot rod/street rod style. I was hope for something more euro style.

Found them. But they don't come in a 5x100 pattern? Are you running the 20x10.5s in the back, Car-Lo?  [This message has been edited by Bridgetown (edited 08-23-2007).]

Great! I look forward to spending a few hours viewing his car. As for the 3-piece rim with the small price and wide tires (I checked the site), just make sure he's sitting down on that one, hehe. [This message has been edited by madcurl (edited 08-23-2007).]
