If you build it they will come. I wouldn't mind having that mod. IMHO it is the best tail light mod I have seen.

looks like we're state line neighbors Will. i'm new to the Fiero, but an old timer gearhead. had many street rods and customs over my 66 years. found an '84 one owner with 47k miles a few weeks ago and since i'm a sucker for low mileage one owners, just had to have it. this is an all original car in near mint condition, so i won't be modifying it any, but sure like what some of the guys on this forum are doing to the Fieros, including yours.
maybe we can get together some time and talk Fieros/Cobras/hot rods. i came "this close" to buying Cobra Replica a few years ago. only thing i didn't like about it was it had a sbc in it. that and the fact my big feet would hardly fit down in the tunnel for the clutch and brake. they are very cool cars though, love the throaty sound most of them have.
have fun with your build

Nice body build thread. Are you planning on doing any other mods?

You may be interested in my build thread at

https://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum1/HTML/052684.html

Get a 2nd cradle, do the swap on that one while you drive the car. You will not need any of the old stuff anyways. make a cradle stand, go for it.

"Dutch, we (some of the guys in KCFOG) are looking to do a weekend build here in the KC area this summer. The "Drop and Swap" we did at JimmyS' last weekend was quite informative and I think it would be great to do up here. I will keep you posted."

sounds good, keep me in mind.

Get the dimensions on the lock ring: inner size, outer size, style, and thickness and call around the local shops (think industrial services and hole-in-the-wall mechanical and/or machine shops that have been around for decades). Someone will be able to help if you can't pull a part number from the factory service manual. If you can, much better.

After all, the tilt system in the Fiero was standard GM so I hardly imagine it would be impossible to track down the proper information to get a new replacement... I'll do some digging shortly.

Does the wiring chart here from Ogre contain the info you need? If not ...or I'm completely off track.... please ignore

you ever get your shift knob recovered if not i can do it for $35

Make sure the sending unit is for a gauge and not an idiot lamp.

Lots of bad breaks in this thread Will, but this one might just be the worst!
