I like what you're doing. Lot's of good stuff here. I'm now interested in how you'll be mounting the power plant.

Cut a little over 40 lbs off the front weighed

I like it, been pondering the same. But what about frame ridgidity...won't it flex a lot more without at least leaving the wheel wells intact? (anyone else done this and notice any difference?)

This was what I was going to do before I decided to go full tube chassis. What I had planned on doing was to run a 1 5/8" cold rolled pipe from the fire wall to the radiator support making a hoop to strengthen the front back up without the weight. By removing the inner fenders and other metal on the front I removed 40-50 lbs on the low side maybe more.

Well the only update I can give at this time is that the "Tube Frame Fiero" is coming home with me!!
I've been talking to Don, the current owner and we are going to make a transfer of car to my hands in Casper,WY on the 23rd of this month. I am very excited to be bringing this work of art home with me!

They are 6 inches to the widest point and 6 inches deep to the back of the plug base. You will just have to make sure to leave about 2.5 inches behind them to remove the back plate to access the bulbs. So if you were wondering if they would fit inside the fastback GT tail lights, they will, you just might have to cut some of the backing out of from behind the taillights so they will fit by mounting the factory way of the GT tail lights.
