I do like that stubby nose, always thought that fiero's resembled a firebird a bit too much with the stock nose. What are you using for a windshield? Dodge caravan perhaps

The stubby nose goes well with the rear, I'll be doing something like that (no name lambo nose)
Went to the auto wrecker and here it is, 2010 Mazda 3
We laid the windshield on to see how it would fit...
That is still on the old RBS, the windshield will be laid back another 2"
The windshield is 2" wider at top, so the chop will be done different than the first, roof will be widen and lowered to fit windshield
Sorry for me jumping to conclusions but this is awsome! Are you going to retain pop-ups?
Chris
Anytime Chris ! I had the Mazda buckets with Mustang dual projector lights now for 2, 3 years maybe more, I forget If I do use them , I'll tweak them by adding mean looking eyebrows OOPS eyelids !

good to know I am not the only one that people yell at for hacking up a car that most would concider done. great work as always I see whaer you are going with it and I love it.
my own choptop wide body is going threw some chainges of its own as well. most of what was done has now been hacked off to make room for new mods. D.

Oh the horror. Now the madness is spreading to my back yard. Step away from the saws-all before it's too late! Is nothing sacred?

Thanks Dean, looks like we're getting a bad reputation as hackers here
Love the new mods - what are you planning for door windows?
Jim
Thank you Jim, I'm using the same windows as first chop back in 2007, I had two sets made from a company that makes boat windshields here in Vancouver made from cheap plastic, I'll cut them to fit. Here is a pic of my brother installing plastic window way back in the first chop.
Thanks for asking John

I see this car pushing the custom Fiero choppers further in the future! "You can do that!", "Yeah, I saw I guy in Canada... wait, what are you doing with that sawzall?"
I'm starting to like and dislike this all at the same time. I like this because it is awesome, I don't like this because it is giving me ideas!
I forgot to ask about your plans for the dash, are you extending the Fiero dash, or are you doing a dash swap/custom dash. Also, how far does the windshield extend forward compared to the stock windshield?

Good one Chris thank you.
I'll be making a combo of something similar to the Lambo Sesto Elemento type dash and a jet fighter dash (without guns) Also making a similar type Lambo Sesto Elemento laid back seats (because of the low 4" chop) ...
I'll have to measure that extended shield, it's about 6" to 8" ?? (I'll get back to you on that)

Why use the same car? You have so much respect over your work we all love your car i am just surprised and impressed your using same shell what a transformation just a bump and this could be one of the most watched thread of all times.

Or that 7" extended windshield offered in the mall, or that other Sebring extended windshield. With the shorter, lower hood it would look great.
1) How did you figure out a Mazda windshield was the best choice? What was your methodology? What were "runner up" windshields? 2) Are you lowering the seat mounting brackets? How do you gain head clearance with such a chop? 2b) If you don't mind me asking? How tall are you, and is your height mostly in legs, or torso?

I'm on a very cheap budget and I wasn't to happy with the direction the old RBS was going. I wanted something more exotic looking, I had the whole RBS package there to tweak and play with.
If it is I didn't even know about it at the time and it was built right in my own backyard here in Vancouver( Port Coquitlam) . Don said it doesn't work to well with the choptop and it would be worse with a 4" chop
