What do you think of this one?

IMO the front and back don't match, makes it look odd. The lines in the back are very angular but the front fenders and fascia are rounded. I'm gonna vote "no", I don't like it.

Get rid of the sail panel window extenders and I like it.

I like it. I wonder what those tail lights are from?

I like it also. Rick B

I give it a thumbs up.

Tail lights are from an Oldsmobile Toronado

It looks like the car that Chrysler / Dodge came out with in the 80s. I can't remember the car's name, but is had a blacked out rear window configuration, also. It was a real lemon, but that was pre-Iacoca.

Back end is very much like the old Lotus Europa from the 70's.
I like it, but agree the front doesn't match as well as it could.
I think the front end would benefit from a little more angular treatment.

It's different that's for sure. The rear is growing on me a bit.

Whatever it is, there is or will be more of them. In the first and last pics I see hood and trunk molds lying around so the builder either has, had, or will be pulling some more bodies from them.

Can you post a video on the operation of those tail lights? I like it but seems to me the tail lights should be flush with the body, but who am I to judge I haven't even bought my GT to mod yet.

OK...here is the deal...A friend of mine...just purchased this car and the molds for it.

Will have videos posted shortly...probably Sunday. But if you like it...it will be an available option shortly.

Bet that has a hell of a blind spot, I like concept but it needs a bit of work.

What if we add a little to black in a few places?:





Now to work on incorporating one of Archie's hatchbacks

& maybe pairing it up with one of my new front Fascias?:

Same for me. For some reason the backend looks too short.

Looks better than my custom Fiero.

Holy blindspots, Batman!

I dont like the way the top of the hood is different on the passenger side. Is that form or function?

I usually don't like many of the customs, I'm pretty fond of the stock GT. And I don't care for knock-offs of European production cars.

However, I like this one. It's subtle but tasteful. Thumbs up from me.

No, I like it better with the red. The extra black doesn't work for me. Which is interesting since I usually don't care for red cars.

I feel like this with my new front fascia shown above and maybe some tweaking on the rest...going to have to play with it...please expert PhotoShop members...give me your ideas on how to tweak to make better...need to figure out a way to open up that blind spot.

Here is my attempt at bringing it back to a notchie I think it looks better then it did getting rid of the blind spot.

Looks good. I like the notchie sketch as well.

Fastback sailpanels with fiero rear proportions are a challenge to flow, esp. with a stock roof. Unique, Sharp. Like whats going on with the the tail light, which made me think of another GM Tailight.

Then a Dodge.

Hmmmnn...

TY for sharing!

I like the front fascia concept and the notchie version. I would not buy it as is. The rear needs a duck tail spoiler instead of the inward bevel across the edge of the trunk.

I'm feeling this as the next evolution of the kit. The front looks like it belongs and would make the kit look much better.

[This message has been edited by dominic355 (edited 01-31-2013).]

It's official. I own the Prototype car series 001. The complete set of molds and one complete body kit. If interested, please send me a PM. I'm unable to work with the car this wekened, but mid-week or next weekend will have pics of the car washed up and from all veiwpoints. Pics of kit below. Still dusty, they have been in storage for about 10 years. Fiberglass is very good quality. If there is enough interest may offer more kits. I think it will look extremly nice with a modified front end. Either TxOpies or a Amida 512. Let me know you opions. Thanks, dominic 355.

I could have sworn when I saw it that it was a body kit I had seen before. I don't remeber the original manufacturer, but from the above post the molds are still around .

I bought from the orginal designer and manufacturer. I have the molds and will gauge interest in making more. To my knowledge only 3 kits were made. I have the orginal on the prototype car and one complete body kit. There may be one more, but not sure.

If you have the ability to aquire more Fiero body kits, the ASPP GT40 body molds need a new home and active owner. They are probably still owned by the wife of the late Jack Kube. I read in another current thread that the collection might include several body styles. Perhaps finding a buyer for multiple kits has hampered the transaction.

Don't care for that body work at all.

Would that be the Pymouth Horizon TC3?

Me personally I would drive the SHAT out of that with the right swap done to it lol.

This is Fantastic looking!

I think the sail panels could use some help, windows or making it into more of a notchback look. The hood looks odd not matching from side to side where it meets the windshield.

Overall I like it though.
