Jersey Shore Wide Body.....no not Snookie (Page 1/13)

Well i figured I would post some pices of my car as it sits this far. I had saved countless pics of the progress but thanks to a virus all the older pics were lost.
My fiero is an 87 gt 5 speed whch had 60,000 miles on it. iI hope to have it ready for paint in the next two or three weeks. i have a Mad Arch wide body with a 355 nose from Amida (Rob) aka Fierovation, rear spoiler i made after i saw Whodeanie's (thanks Dean) and a headlight mod i made after seeing who i believe was fiero king's mod and a few others here. The tail light mod is i a Kahines taillight panel that i cut up and modified with euro c-5 tail lights. I still have some work to do but it is mostly just tweeking and block sanding.
here are some pics ...

all stock

I really like the tasteful mods chosen not sure about those rear lights but over all an amazing transformation.

black thunder, i wanted a taillight panel to be different than the usual ones...it pained me to cut up the kahines panel (especially after what it cost, but it was a good starting point. hopefully it will look better when it's painted (if i can decide on a color for the car).

I'm almost ready to go, I should be pulling my engine next week . Definitely have to do a meet/ cruise or something when they're ready to roll.

i read other posts where guys talk about hiding the antenna or relocating it and buy small ones that aren't very good. i also read about putting it under the fender so this idea is not mine ( it appears skitime was the first to do it) but i took my stock antenna and arched it over the wheel well liner and under the right fender. i made two brackets for the base and the tip (i used a grommet at the tip to keep it from ratteling. i have tried the am fm and the reception seems fine, even in my garage which is cement block and half in the ground.

Actually you better give Skitime credit. He was the first to do it years ago.
