Looks great. How about a paint job now? Looking to compare a Corvette yellow or midnight blue.

Ok...here's my attempt at photoshop, but I think this would be way cool....a targa top!
I'm sure someone else can do this much better.[This message has been edited by Charlie64 (edited 06-29-2011).]

Don't do a Targa, you'll regret it.

I guess it would depend on who did the Targa ? Archie could do it for you.
The car looks good. Where did the brake kit come from? Those brakes are sweet.

Just a "what if" thought Archie.
Anyway, I got the brakes from Westshore Fabricators (formerly Held Motorsport). I opted for these over the 4 piston setup.[This message has been edited by Charlie64 (edited 06-30-2011).]

I would never do a Targa on a Fiero.
I've seen way too many Fieros turn into "parts cars" by people who put (or had installed) Targas on them.
When you cut to roof off of a Fiero, you better be ready to build a lot of reinforcement into the chassis to avoid flex & cowl shake.
The simple little frame reinforcement use on a lot of convertable Fieros won't get it done.
Just ask Chester.
No matter how much frame work you do, your Fiero will never be as solid as it was with a roof on it.

Charlie has officially taken possession of his car. We picked it up from Archie to finish the WB tuning and a few other odds and ends. I did discover that the MAF that was purchased from ZZP was causing a lean condition up top and with a new MAF installed, the engine was back in the safe zone.
I'll let Charlie enjoy his new ride for a while and it will most likely be coming back here for some more mods this winter.
