LOL, nice one ole, i agree w/ madmark... cept id keep it in the 60degree V6 realm (3400, 3500, 3900, or maybe even the 3.4TDC), all NA, then later add some boost.. the 3500 with some boost will make just as much as the 3800's, keeps the stock 60* engine pattern, no needing special mounts or flywheel, and well... with boost that poor vette wont know what happened.

Well, we got Kathryn off to camp yesterday. Before she left, she finished up a couple of items. We didn't get as far as we might have liked over the weekend, but some of her side rub strip trim was cleaned up and is being painted. The gas tank is done and ready to go back in. The "egg crate" that goes in the front bumper got cleaned up and repaired, and we made the start of some repairs on the console skeleton. She of course has been "sanding, and sanding, and sanding" But in those immortal words I have told her that she has not yet begun to sand.
That's what happens when you want it to be right, AND you are changing the color, AND the person before you thought it would be a good idea to slather the whole car in rattle can paint. Soooooo, sanding it is.
Now for a quick question. On the aero nose, there is the vertical bar that separates the two openings in the center. Those two openings look like they have sagged a bit over the 25 years. Anyone have a good way to fix that sag? We're open to ideas.

There is a place in Lansing that reconditions front fascias - I will get you the name.
An interesting thing about the nose material is that when immersed in boiling water, removed and allowed to cool, it will come back to it's original molded shape - but only one time.

The Fiero Store also sells factory reproductions in the factory material, which is a bit sturdier if anything ever gets bumped, like wheel stops in parking lots.
