Try to find Lenny Smith, I think he may be retired but I know his son is an excellent painter as well.
I would suggest my Dad, but his hand is currently disabled and the shop is a little messy. Oh yeah, bump! |

thanks for the info

thanks for the update and great work Archie.

Here's the new fuel pipe installed...... 
And We've installed the new rear window glass...... 
We also opened up the radius on the front wheel well openings. I can't find the in process pics on doing these but we used the same method that we used on the rear of the car. Here's the finished product....... 
Once we get the body back on for the last time, we gotta do all the sanding of the glassed areas. Then I want to put on the coil-overs & set it on the floor to determine what wheel sizes we will need. Archie [This message has been edited by Archie (edited 02-15-2006).]

I don't know...... that thing looks like it's too close to being finished. It would be way too easy to finish that up. But....... ok, I'll take the bait. I know you want me to ask, so here goes........ Tell me more about that car!!!! Archie

There isn't much to say, I have to many Fieros and I am working hard to get Lamborghini done for the Dells Yha I know I say that every year, but here is a sneak peak, as far as the imsa it runs has a quad 4 and would look great with a chop top I just have to many projects I had a post in the mall but no one was interested, this is not a kit! it is a one piece body that had to be slid onto the frame from the rear 1/4's are part of the rear clip all moldings are fiber glass, I could go on and on about the lower springs and all the mods that were done the dash exhust and everything but this is you thread and I just thought you might want it or someone you know would like it to complete.

Maybe it's just me but I always wear big thick welding gloves when welding. Sunburn on exposed skin from the UV is bad enough but hot stray sparks onbare skin is not good and they burn though a pair of jeans like they arn't there. Guess how I know. PS. Great work as always. I love these threads.
