Feels good to get the car up here. I have Speed Scene here in San Antonio building the new engine harness and programming the ECM and trans controller and trans harness for me it should be done the middle of January. If so I might get to fire the car up by the end of January.
With it being a little cooler out Gianina is happier to help. Plus she caught me over at the neighbors drooling over his new ZL1 Camaro. It might have been he was not home at the time but his wife was.
Gianina and I want to wish everyone a happy new year and thank you all for being paitent with this long drawn out build. 6/15/2013 will be three years.
Got an email from Speed Scene today should be another week and the new harness will be built and ready. So engine harness is still on schedule. I hope to get more sanding done this weekend.
Awesome work! I love it! If Gianina won't let you turn it into a GT. Maybe you could make a panel to fill in the triangle behind the door window and fake the GT look.
Thank you all. Gianina and I took the car off the trailer today. Sad to say she could not hold the brakes without the power on and crashed into the workbench. A guy was driving by and stopped he said hey is that a Fiero? I said dang you know your cars. He was shocked to see the LS4 in it. I was a little shocked he knew what the car was.

...edit... NVM, i forgot you will be one of the shortest cars on the road.
Thanks; I worked a little yesterday fitting the sail panels to go behind the side wing vent. I plan to have a rear camara on the car. Every choptop I have had a bad blind spot. You get use to using the side mirrors a lot.
Got to work on the car today. Added some more dyno glass. Worked on fitting the piece behind the T-Tops and the fast back vent pieces. It was a long day of sanding more.
I like the way the back looks now. Gianina is turning away from me painting the car black. We talked today about Silver with black and gray snake skin stripes. I think she really liked the Silver chop so this one might end up Silver also.
Loading up the car at Stephen's House. Many thanks for letting us pick it up Christmas.
This was such a nice looking car. I was looking back and thinking how nice it would have been just to add the LS4 and keep the car like you picked it up . Do you still have the wheels? I would like to have a white formula with those wheels. I would like to build the car you started with.

It was very clean and had a very rare blue interior. The more I look at it you are problllllyyyy right. I just get carried away a lot. The wheels are on Becca's car. Most body parts were sold. They are Enkei wheels you might be able to still buy them but not sure.

I need to sell the old 85 and find a white formala without the very rare blue interior.
I get to pick up the engine harness tomorrow. Bad news is the yard gave me a Cadillac Northstar ECM (same part number but different program) back when so I had to get another ECM. I guess I will ebay the Northstar one to try to recoup that. Looks like I will get away from the body and work on getting the fuel lines and exhaust hooked up. I will get it running next before I get back to the bodywork. I needed a break from sanding anyway. I hope old Frankenstein comes to life soon.
