Look at your 3rd picture...I think the car was built by Garys Customs. I'll try to find a link to his web site and post it if I can.

It was built by Gary's Customs. He bought the body from Candy Apple Cars before I bought the company. He no longer is a dealer for the Fino & Finale bodies.

It had a copy of the Z V-8 kit in it and the installation was a bit crude. If I remember correctly, he sold it to a guy in Kansas City (or someplace like that) And the car burned to the ground after being re-fueled due to a bad gas pipe hose.

The guy who owned it when it burnt contacted me for help on the replacement costs for his insurance company.

I like those tail-lights much better than the little round ones like is usually with the kit. In fact the tail-lights are the only thing that would keep me from getting one of those kits. I'd like to see other tail-light options as well. Those miata's are the best I've seen yet but still not perfect. They do fit suprisingly well though.

The options for the tail lights are limited only by your imagination and desire to make it work.

Here are some more pics of that car.
Those taillights looked really good in person, but you know they are miata right away.

That car was built by Gary's. Its an 86 SE T-top car. I believe it was the first v8 t-top fino built. The car is setting on 18's made by MOMO. The interior was a 355 style that was also built by Gary. It was painted Viper blue met. From what I hear it did catch fire but it was minor damage to the center console area, I think a window switch or something fried. I sure did love that car. I'll never forget how it made me feel when I drove it. I sure was "Pimpin Da Ho's" Unfortunetly like evey other SBC fiero I have driven, it sucked. Would have been awsome with a TDC or 3800sc. As for the v8 it was Garys kit (Zumwalt style) and it was installed properly and very well done. CSI elec water pump, GM crate motor, all AN and braided lines and if I remember corectly it alsp used hard lines for most of the coolant pipes.... yeah she was nice. Not crude by any means... I am the one that performed the swap back in '99.

I think the rear lights are sweeter than the archies dot lights, just my op.
