Update: Ausie's door rockers. We first started with the doors due to them next to the IRM rockers following the design that I had drawn from the gun metal choptop pic. I had to reshape the mold a little and make a cut for the door handles. The door handles were shaved down a little by 3/4" The key hole is still funtional. We will use a rubber gromett inside the hole. I'm not really a fan of pop-doors due to issues that I've seen.
 Next, we moved onto the IRM. We moved or flared out part of the lower portion were the 305's where sticking out. On my next visit, I'll start on the driver's side and repeat the process followed by the rear bumper. Doug, at Fiero Warehouse shipped the front spoiler so it should be at the shop by now. If I have time, I'll have the front bumper flared out like the Redux but this time it will be different. On another note: I may be off Pennock's due to Dale closing his web site. His site is going off-line today so this may be my last post. If you have any questions regarding this thread or others, I won't be able to answer them, sorry.

There is some weight gain once the flaring is added even though most of the excess fiberglass is removed. All-n-all there was maybe 3" of flaring near the middle downward. The same would be said of the Ausie door rocker. Although I did loose some weight with removing the old steeering wheel and getting the MOMO. Man that stock sterring wheel is heavy. I even have more room for my fat gut now, hehehehe. [This message has been edited by madcurl (edited 02-07-2005).]

Madcurl back at it again preparing for Daytona First some new arrivals: 
Can you say VDC ? Lambo doors here we come ! 
Meanwhile work continuing on modding up and resphaping the Archie IRM rocker on the other side of the car. Here you can see the vent cut back and being prepped to be flared out wider to hug those huge 20's ! : 
A glimpse at the inside: 
Yet another view: 
Madcurl's philosphy don't just buy it and bolt it on, tweek it to your own unique style ! Taking a brief break to visit Orville's field of dreams: 
Hmmmmm now what does Curly have in mind for that old rear clip ?? Hehehehe. 
Aside from the vette lamps this may be the best part yet ! Stay tuned !!
