Small update on the fascia.
Continued shaping. Made some profile gauges so I can match the sides. Un fortuneately I don't have a lot of room to manuveur, so it's kind of a PITA to work on.
Here are some pics:
A little blurry, but taking shape. You can see how I'm thinking the aux vents will be placed.
Filling in the extra space with the air dam and splitters - just temporary to get an idea how it will look.
Profile gauge on one side:
Versus the other side. This side still needed about a 1/2" taken off the bottom

Very nice, what do you have in mind for the rest of the car? I have never liked the flat sides of the Fiero. I like curves.

P.S. Your concept looks great.

Tony, Now you know the secret of great ideas...Jet's 10 (minus olives-yuck) and BBQ chicken pizzas. What can't be seen is that the cardboard mock-ups for the lights is made from Little Cesars boxes, too.

Looks a lot more like something now, but the pics are still on the camera. Tomorrow morning, I'm headed to the local salvage yard to see if I can pick up the turn signals and driving lights. Then I should be able to finalize the shape. -yeah!!
Thanx for all the comments guys. Helps keep me motivated.

Here's an idea I posted a while back in Amida's thread. I've always had it in the back of my mind and is the direction it's going in.

Nolan...I'll take that as a compliment since you spread the disease.
Couple quick pics for today...
The lights. Turn signals of a Nissan Altima and fog lamps off a Sunfire.
And some WIP pics.

Important lesson...Do not paint the mold with engine enamel...Sticks like glue, even with wax and PVA release...
Chip by chip removal of mold:
But, a molded part...rough, but good enough for now...

Lookin' good there Bob.
Been there before with enamel. Heat from curing can make seemingly dry paint sticky again. Now I just use quick dry Duplicolor lacquer. Wax one time & PVA 3 times is normally enough for my work. Quick & dirty moulds are made to be destroyed in the end anyhow. My Fi40 glovebox plug was made of waxed cardboard & clay, no paint. After the mould was layed-up I just pulled the carboard plug apart.
