2nd coat of resin. After this, more sanding and 2 more coats should make it like glass

Here is the pod with the carbon fiber on top. I still have to sand it when it dries and apply several coats of resin to smooth it out and give it that glass-like appearance. It takes about a day in between coats of resin so this will take a while. I love the appearance of carbon fiber even when it i...

So tonight I spent quite a while building the form for my speaker pods for the doors. I created the frame using MDF and coated the entire unit with mylar to make sure that the fiberglass would release. I then need to flip the form over and make one for the passenger side door. Here is a pic of the f...

Tonight, it was time to finish the red pinstripe and carpet the lower portion of the door. The first thing was to mark the cut with a chalk pencil and them cut the material. http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL82/8299626/15490570/373493890.jpg http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL82/8299626/15490570/373493...

Shit, I sure let this thread die. Here is a quick update since I have been away from the project for a while. The quarter window with hardware installed as well as the tail light panel cleared: http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL82/8299626/15490570/373060668.jpg http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL82/829...

Here is the taillight section sitting over my light box. I still need to remove some of the black laminate from the inside portions but they look almost stock......with a twist http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL82/8299626/15490570/355780693.jpg My next update will probably add another page of photos ...

I had a brand new set of Fiero Store GT lenses that I sold because I was going to hack them up so I bought a delam set from a member. The plan is to move the "Pontiac" upwards and add "IMSA" underneath. When I received the lenses, I helped the delaminating process along. http://p...

Just a quick update. I finished the crest on the roof and really don't like it because I had to paint on the glass which will eventually all scratch off. This is the only part of the car that I will actually use a true decal. I have chrome vinyl for the outline and red for the inlay. It will also be...

Quick update. Right now, all the clean up work and re-assembly is being done. I still have to spray the rear molding red, spray the door handles and side marker lights red, order the wheels and tires, and finish the rear vents, and install the new windshield. The car has an intercoat clearcoat just ...

Thanks guys for the nice words. Hopfully, the real car sells for a decent price this Sunday. This is the closest I will ever come to owning the real thing and still be street legal so I really want it to look awesome.

Sorry about the lack of updates. I have been on a business trip to Arizona and painting a few Harleys for some friends of mine. So I layed out the decal stencils for the rear logos and airbrushed them. http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL82/8299626/15490570/349130437.jpg http://pic20.picturetrail.com/V...

Since I just got back into town after a business trip, I focused on one of the parts that had to be made from scratch. I removed the vinyl trim around the windshield and made the windshield hold downs tonight. Here is what I started with.....aluminum stock: http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL82/829962...

The airbrushed quarter window logos. Here they are before the clearcoat goes on:

Tonight, I wetsanded my new quarter windows from Ken Hines.....yes I ruined a brand new set. I decided to paint these a solid gloss black and them do the "Pontiac Motorsports" logo on them. Here are the windows prepped: http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL82/8299626/15490570/342482045.jpg And...

I primed the decklid today. Here is a closeup of the vent mod. http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL82/8299626/15490570/341592337.jpg And here is the decklid. I am starting on the white right now and may post more later tonight or tomorrow. http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL82/8299626/15490570/341592340....

Any updates?

That is why I probably will just stay with the stock V6. If I do a major engine transplant, I will make sure that the car is just for show and not for the street. It really is not worth the hassle here in California.

I was thinking about your build last night, was about to PM. Glad you are better. Keep the build going. Refresh my memory, is this car getting a 3800 n/a? That is what I will be going for later on but since I live in California, I have to deal with the smog bullshit and West Coast Fieros is the mai...

Wow....I stopped getting emails when people reply to my thread. Sorry about not replying to you guys and thank you for all the nice comments about my work. Alright.....after a long battle with some health issues, I am now 98% better and hopefully can continue work on this car. I decided to do a deck...

Everything that Rodney Dickman uses is American made. Wrong--All his suspension parts are from Taiwan. Last time I checked Taiwan was not in the US. Most all the parts you buy for the Fiero are going to be made outside the US. Also you cant always judge a product on what others say. There is always...
