LOTS of brake upgrades are available. Here is just one option:

Archie has a big brake kit as well:

The Grand Am brake conversion is also popular -

My brakes are ok, factory Fiero but I need to upgrade #25's brakes in the future.

As posted Westcoast Fiero, V8 Archie, Fiero Store etc, many brake options out there.

Any pics of #63? I'd like to see some. Please feel free to post them on this thread. If you would rather send me a PM and I'll provide an email address that you can send pics to!

my son has just sent pictures of number 63 to the email you have posted on your profile for this forum! please let me know any suggestions you have! and feel free to post the photos on the site! Thanks

Wow #63 is a spyder!! Thanks for the pics, will post some photos tonight for all to see!

Did the wheels on your Corson come with the knock off's and chrome cap? I have seen these wheels but without the k/o's. Also on other Corson's I have seen, the box section between the exhaust tips, below the bumper, is painted black. Did that depend on the owners preference?

The knock off caps were on the car when I purchased it. All the Corson info I have gathered does not show or list them as an option. I believe they are aftermarket Corvette. The vent screen between the exhaust tips on my car was black when I purchased it. On Randy Corson's car and others, that vent screen is painted silver. I think the silver shows the vent detail better so I painted mine silver too!

Just heard Corson #10 has been found! Hope to see pics soon!!

I also see Corson #58 is on Ebay.

Obtained this photo from the Corson information pack. I can almost make out the original Corson nose badge.

Corson # 21 said "hi" the other day from the Netherlands!

Where can i get a 512 BBi badge? I could not find one, so i had gotten a 512 TR badge, and does anyone know where i can get a new roof for corson number 63 (spyder)

Anything wrong with the old #63? Hope the storm didn't get to #63 .........

Keep an eye on Ebay, I've seen them from time to time.

#63 has a small hole on the side of the roof next to the tip of the window. The roof is not in very good shape, Im hoping to get a new roof in black, and hopefully cut out the lights infront of the rising headlights, for somereason they were never cut out

Anyone know where i can get the front amber turn signals for #63?

I'd contact Aldino. They have that part for their kit.

Thank you!!

I see Corson # 45 made an appearance recently on Ebay.

Thanks for posting. That's number 45 currently back on Ebay. I do like the white exterior.

I recognize that car. It has a V8, correct? Are you the owner?

I think a widebody on one of these would look sick!!!

Paul is the owner of # 08. I haven't received any updates on # 08's restoration in over a year and it does have a V8.

And YES wider flares on those fenders, like the real would be sweat !

Hard selling cars out there these days. The seller of #45 will never get what that cars is really worth !

These look to be well finished kit cars at least when your buying one you know it is finished or was.

I had only seen the Corson 512 bbi on the internet, but never in person until one was for sale about an hour away. My curiosity got the best of me, so a friend and I set up a visit to see for ourselves. I bought the car on the spot. I own Mera # 8151 and a Fiero based F40 Kitcar, nether body compares to the quality of the Corson. The Corson body craftsmanship far exceeds the quality of any off the shelf Kitcar body I have ever seen. Not to say there are those craftsmen’s out there who can take an off the shelf Kitcar body and finish it to a “car manufacture” quality. Hear this; I'm polishing the Corson in front of my garage when I guy stops to talk cars. He says he's restoring a 308 GTB and couldn't believe he was seeing a 512 bbi in the neighborhood. Keep in mind that both front and rear clips were closed and my Corson has Amida's 355 interior package. I also believe my Corson was built at Randy Corson's shop. He has stopped twice now, but I think he was getting wise during his last visit. I'm going to tell him it's a Corson if he stops again. When we take the cars out for a Saturday night ice cream cruise, I hear nice "Kitcar" comments for the Mera and F40. I have only heard nice "Ferrari" for the Corson. That's the reason Ferrari closed Corson Motorcars !!

Please note; I’m still looking for a Corson manual and video, Thanks!

Terrible news.... #63 was in an accident about a month ago, someone was driving down the street and not paying attention to the road hit my corson. Ruined the left side of the back bumper and damaged the front due to my corson hitting the car infront of it. Is it possible to get a new Corson bumper? or is the car a goner?

Any good Corvette restoration shop worth their salt can fix it.

Corvette restoration shop in my area did some work on a dune buggy I owned. I could not tell where the body was hit! When I first checked out the shop, they had just received a shipping container from the west coast. Inside was an early 50's Corvette with the engine between the seats! I looked at Jim and questioned "you going to fix that"? Two years later it was a brand new Corvette going back to the owner!! They were shipping with the car a photo album documenting every step of the restoration, even showed replicated assemble line marks on the frame ........

So what I am saying, #63 can be restored to better than new.

God forbid if it was parted out, but you do have a buyer for those seats right here.

Two for sale on e-bay. (Kits and replicar)

quote Originally posted by Fieromaineac: I really like the tan and black striped seat covers in Randy Corson's spyder. Anyone know who made them?

I don't know if Mr. Mike made these seats but he makes a very similar set.

I must have missed them when I checked out Mr. Mikes. I'll look again, Thanks

Here it is the Friday before the Labor Day weekend and interstate 95 coming into Maine is a four lane parking lot!!

So instead of running a few errands, I installed the new "Manual Look" shifter from Rodney Dickman. The shifter that came with the car was similar but nowhere the quality of Rodney's. Plus I didn't like the aluminum knob and that the glue holding the knob to the shaft had given up the ghost.

So here is before:





Here's after:





I do prefer the black knob with the chrome shaft over the old setup and it functions so much smoother! Next project will be to make a replacement "automatic" gate to replace the manual gate.
