Hmmm... what about the antenna mod? And the Cold Cathode & Neons? I know there's still more to it!

You are right there is more to this story. I just need time to write more about it. Heck there are a few things I a few mods that I have not even finished yet. But you are right I still have a whole year to finish on this history story. I will hopefully get to it soon.

I just wanted to say thanks for all your help. I've been working on my 3800SC swap for months and will be using alot of his idea's. He has help me through all the hard questions. I have changed a few things and started thinking out of the box and came up with some mods. This guy is great and should hopefully never leave the Fiero family!!!

Hey Skitime.

Great write up. Your attention to detail really makes your car someting special. One thing I really like about Fiero people is how much of the work they do themselves. There's nothing more annoying to me then, while at a show, to ask someone about something on their car and have them say "I dunno, I bought it this way". I prefer the company of the "Busted Knuckle Brotherhood" .

Keep up the great ideas,

Two words: Holy Crap!

This encourages me to finish my "History of how I replaced the logo thingy on the front nose of my car" (which is about the only thing I can do myself).

Hello again. It was pointed out in post that I did leave out a mod that was done during the time I had the fenders off to do the vented front fenders. I actually forgot about it. Lol. (BTW, I noticed another mod in this picture. I added air horns to the car. It adds the sports car sound and increases safety since it is so loud)

Here is the car before the antenna removal
.

While having the front fenders off, I decided to get rid of the antenna. That is a piece that takes away from the clean lines of the GT. I looked into all the possibilities of other types of antennas. I decided to just mount the stock antenna under the fender. TooManyFieros said that the antenna would not work as well and challenged me. Vonnie’s GT was parked beside mine and both cars had the exact same radio. He said to watch this and he adjusted my car to a radio station that it could hardly receive. Then he went to Vonnies car and tried to tune in the same radio station. I could hardly keep from laughing when he could not tune in that station in Vonnies car with the antenna in the proper position. Just to be on the safe side I added a second antenna on the drivers’ side. That way I could have an antenna that was even stronger. I used the fender well clip to lock the antennas into position so there would be no rattling. I just used a piece of scrap urethane to bond to the bottom on the fender to cover the underside of the hole and the urethane repair kit on the top side. Presto no more ugly antenna.

Here are the cleaner body lines without the antenna.

And my story continues. I am going skiing in Vermont both this weekend and next weekend so I am not sure how much more I will get done. I will work on the story if time allows.
