This thread, http://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum1/HTML/091128.html is where this started, more to the point This is where we wound up, The more "bits" I had Bob (RCR) take off the car the better it look until we got to this.
This was almost two years ago, that's when I decided I needed to build it, needing a starting point, I purchased a Fiero with a 308/328 kit, it's in my post near the bottom of the page. http://www.fiero.nl/forum/F...1/HTML/091128-5.html (I have no idea how I put the pic up, when I hit quote, it doesn't show up in the text)
Started moving forward recently with the purchase an '06 Porsche Boxster s 6 speed transaxle, a dash out of an '08 Corvette and now for the "killer" donor car.
http://www.copart.com/us/Lot/38452435 What a pain in the azz, I'm done with CoPart...
There won't be much left of the Fiero, basiclly the passenger compartment and the doors, the plan is to build a frame around the tub that will locate all of the Corvette components, engine, suspension, brakes and anything else useful that I can harvest from the Vette, I'm not expecting there to be much left of it as well. 
I've had time to dwell on the project, I really can be my own worst enemy, I've had a change of heart in how the car will look and will combine some of the car above with elements from this, of course I expect the body work to take a while, I'm only good at the "creation" stuff when I'm "feeling" it, trying to force it has never ended well for me.

I have been following these 288GTO / modern interpretation threads. Nice how ideas came up. I just hope you all (3 different projects?) get them done. And I hope someone gets it done a bit like the Ringbrothers did with their Pantera... Take a classic design, make it better and blend it to a modern version without loosing the original.
I dont have popcorn so I will grab a beer
here is the Pantera for those living under a stone  :

OMG that is the most amazing car I think I have ever seen. I have always been a Pantera fan but that thing is just ridiculous. Just enough custom stuff but not enough to take away from the timeless original design. I must say that I am a purist when it comes to that car but this one is STUNNING. Well done to whoever did that work. Beautiful...

With the work and money that this build will require, why not build a Factory 5 GTM? Probably would you cheaper and easier in the long run, and the result would be a MUCH better car.
