What would the situation be if the scenario was reversed? If the car was a '90 and the engine was a '78? Would they then allow the '90 car to only have to pass '78 emission levels? I kind of doubt that!

I know here in ontario modified cars are tested as mods if less than 20 years old and they dont care what year the engine is as long as it passes the mod test

SWEET!!! although it's begging for a wing. I would suggest a whale tail like the late 80s Trans Am had, or an IMSA type. That would really set it off.

This Fiero is going to be a legend. You have GOT to submit pics to Pontiac Enthusiast, Hot Rod, and GM High Performance. The workmanship is awesome, and the "wow" factor is gonna have to be measure on the Richter Scale!!

Hey Bubbajoexxx, how much were they? How did you fabricate the E-brake on? got any pics of it from the backside or without the rotor on? Great job! Any backside pics of the rear wheels? Do they stick-out a little? Thanks. madcurl

PLEEEAASSEEE! No wing! That looks so AWESOME as it is, adding a wing, will just make it a glorified trans am... That is a very original car, please don't make it a T/A look alike... wingless looks amazing! Try it out at least, you can always add a wing later on.

I'm no photoshop whiz or anything but I really like the scoops that fourpoint9 did. I know it would be a difficult modification but what about adjusing the shape of the sail panels.

I saw where you said you were planning on those, I was referring to the tweaking of the angle along the bottom of the sail panel. In my Paint Shop Pro program I rotated the bottom line 10 degrees to the right, I thought that brought the body lines of the sail panels in line with the hatch.
