Looking good Bob!

This heat makes it difficult to do much of anything glass related, but you are killin' it! Just make sure it doesn't bite back.... (wear your PPE )

Keep pluggin' away at it...one o' dese days....you'll be driving, washing and waxing that beauty...in the meantime, keep the updates (and pics) comin'.

HAGO!

Pushed it up to Youtube... Should work now.

Also adding some pics...

Replace the dry rotted tire. Didn't want to tear the fender up again. $95 good to go.


Almost on the ground.


And out in the driveway.


Took it to the gas station on the corner and filled it up (apparently gas gauge does not work).
Back at rest, ready to work on driver's side.

And today brings the start of finishing the driver's side body work.

First up, the rocker panel. It needs to be fitted to the frame, and the vent needs to be redone so that it matches the other side.

Here's the mess on the rocker. Need to redo the flange to frame and finish the hole in the bottom.


Here all the excess is cut off and ground down, ready to glass.


All glassed up.


Next thing I want to tackle is cleaning up the fender repairs. To do this, I need the gas door, so I can make sure the contour is correct.
So, to get the gas door, I need to install all of the innards for the filler tube.
I'm using all of the Fiero pieces. I pulled them off the clip before I scrapped it.
What I didn't take into account is that the body kit is wider than the Fiero, so nothing lines up.
Looks like I'm going to have to butcher my pretty red powder coated fuel lines to make it work.




I'll have to investigate how others have done it.

Thanx for dropping in.

Bob;

I will take some pics of my setup but I took the Fiero gas filler and cut it about 6" down from the filler cap and then used some fuel rated hose to connect both the fuel filler tube back together at the right length and the air tube. My setup is up in the side louvers though so somewhat different than what you are doing but the same concept. Fuel rated hose for both tubes and you are good to go.

Will take some pics when I get back to my garage early next week.
Cheers

Thanx Don,

I was going to ask you, but I remembered you went up to the vent. Thanx for the help...

Where did you get the hose from? I don't think the local shops carry it.

Bob I posted over on my build re the filler install.
If you want any of it let me know it’s yours.
