Thanks Mitch!
Finally got around to doing some stuff on the fuel tank with the new SS lines.
Evap on the left, return in the middle, and feed lines on the right.
Any advice, tips or suggestions before I put it back in tomorrow night?

Tip for the wheel stud issue... Make sure you have a lug nut on the stud before you grind or cut on it. Makes is easier getting nuts back on. Looks like ur in good hands.

Got around to putting the adapters and Bonneville rims on the car.
The threads up front seem to stick out a touch further than on the back, but I put the rims on anyway.
I didnt think to grab a picture, but it appeared that the rims bolted up and mated with the adapter without issue, it is possible that the bonneville rims have concave sections between the lug holes making the threads not an issue (another things I didn't think to check)...
The wheels and tires fit fine, lock to lock, without the wheel wells in.
Once I get the wheel wells back in I will have to go down at least one tire size, probably two.
They are 235/45s, I will probably have to go 235/35s.

After removing the motor, I scrapped the car,
but not before draining the tranny fluid and removing the filter.
These are just the metal chunks that were in the pan
This is what I found after I cut open the filter
More then explains why the car could not move under its own power...

The only progress to report so far this winter is some minor suspension stuff.
I acquired a new front cross member from a member here (name is eluding me at the moment), a new GT rack from Grabber Green and other great items that will be revealed in the spring.
I bought new passenger control arms and got new poly bushings in them,
and I also got the stock sway bar cleaned and painted with new bushings.
Looking for some good condition driver side front control arms to finish the front before I put it all back together.
Winter progress is slow, but steady.

Thank you! Lets to come for this car and me!
Once spring comes and this thing is running and on the road, the updates will pile on
Kind of a gag-gift from my father, half serious, is this collection of Fiero Hot Wheels
They are all 84 2m4s. He's expecting them to all be worth some money some day, we shall see.
One thing that surprised me is that on the underside they are fairly correct, with the motor/exhaust/transmission in the back and the cooling tubes running up front, although they are not quite right.
The steering rack isn't correct, but whatevs.
One of my favorite gifts this year, shows my dad is finally completely on board with me doing this project and the future. Can't wait to get it running to take him for a ride, or 10
