Aah corvette, schmorvette.... Fiero's rule and it is a damn shame they had to sneak this cool car thru the bigwigs ducking the vette like that. Buncha pansies... I mean it is a mid engine rear wheel drive COMPLETELY different car right...!!

Congrats on your car man. it is lookin' sick!! Enjoy...peace

Just to give everyone an update...the paint shop has started preping and sanding my car. No photos today, but I'll have more Monday or Tuesday of the progress. Completion of this part of the project is still expected to be by next Friday.

Sorry I didn't get these posted yesterday, but here's what was accomplished...

Door jams painted with sealer...




Glad I didn't opt for the brighter (Corvette) yellow.

Now being painted with Millenium Yellow (also used on Corvette)







Body painting was supposed to start today, but they had a compressor failure. All is expected to be back on track tomorrow. I hope to have more pictures tomorrow night.

Dude you ain't messing around.

I'm impressed on how you're pushing this build along to "Git er done"... and done the hella right way.

Here my car was ready to go in for exterior painting



when a dent was found in the passenger mirror casing. They're going to repair that before proceeding.

On a positive note...I received a call from Weldcraft Wheels this at lunch today. My 10" wheels were ready and shipped today. Should be at my house by Wednesday.

Archie, your widebody kit is getting MUCH attention from other customers at the paintshop. People are looking forward to seeing my car in upcoming shows.
