It's not really a build thread, and isn't intended to have any real detail about how the work gets done?

Seams like a descent build thread to me and offers up as much " HOW TO" as others that are in the construction zone.

Looking good, keep it up. Ray

Thanks, Guys. I spliced the hood today and took four inches out of it. I also put some glass over the foam on the new shelf.





Next I have to put the latch, pins and wipers back. Then I will start on the headlights.

I am gonna say the info will be limited....I know if I did something that could not be done I wouldn't share how I did it......Like breeding a chicken that lays gold eggs....I am not going to tell you what 2 chickens I used......

Also I really don't think many could pull this off besides Mike...The only other person that comes to mind is FieroGuru......I mean it hasnt been done yet and how long has the "KING" been chopping Fieros?

You're post sounds like you think you are telling Mike (and thread readers) something new. Mike stated in this thread that he got this from the kit car people .

I'm not telling Mike or anyone else anything new, what you referenced from my post was a question about where he would be picking up air for the ventilation system that now appears to have the cowl inlets blocked off. I also said if Mike doesn't want to reveal how he's going to regain his air inlet I could find out from other's who have used that sebring style windshield on a fiero chassis[the kit car people].......

......I'm curious how that windshield will blend into the rear edge of your now shortened hood. I know that windshield has been used on rebodied[kit car] fieros, but I don't think anyone has tried it with a near stock bodied fiero. I'm wondering if it will be necessary to reshape the rear hood edge to match the new curve on the windshield. It will be interesting to see what you come up with.

Are you going to reuse the headache pins with a new "bulkhead" ?

Since you are retaining most of the stock hood structure, you could just relocate them forward... it seems like you've left the strike points intact.

Looking good so far
