Qoute from Fie.Ro

getting a custom logo and badge done,...

I am designing one-off custom badges and logos as we speak. PM me,
and lets see what we can come up with.

If the entire body is one of a kind, then the badges should be too.

Good idea but I recommend stainless steel wire so it wont rust away.

I would do it for ya if I had lots of unused time ...! In fact I have photoshopped some variations and yours is close to some of those! I also have a version that deletes the midsection and I call it the "bigmouth" version. But me thinks it is too agressive to match the Fiero's "friendly" appearance in this setup... For now I'll stick to the current nose or it will never get finished thanks for the time you put into the photoshopping.

Apart from sanding and prepping for paint there are some other (faster) rewarding jobs to do. Like making the headlight doors mechanism look better than this...

I took this pic as a reference for reinstalling the rods. Here the rods are painted gunmetal grey metallic and the brackets painted red.

It is as red as it shows in the picture! This particular red paint is the same paint I used on my calipers and it holds up really great to almost anything so I use it more and more on other chassis parts... Headlight brackets reassembled:

Any chance you're interested in sharing some of that photoshop work with us?
