Nice !

Randye, good to see you back in action. There is always something to do to improve these cars, although yours is pretty darn good already.

The nose is going to look awesome, can't wait to see it.

Thanks for the compliments!

The poor car isn't so *clean* right now.
It has about 5mm of dust all over it from just sitting in the garage without the car cover on it.
Nothing a good bath and some polishing won't fix quickly though.

Thanks Tony.
I'm anxious to see your chop top too.
I don't know that I could ever get the courage up to chop Tangerine Dream, but THAT would be "interesting" wouldn't it?

Looks great to me too (although I may be biased towards anything looking like a 355). Tell me, what are those turn signal lights from originally? I'm looking for some for my project car since the ones that came with the kit were amateurishly poured with too much color and lots of bubbles in the acrylic. Oh, and didn't come with reflectors either.

Jeep Liberty front bumper turn signals.

Randye,
Just a heads up, my signal lights fit into the libery light sockets with no modification, takes a bit of fussing, but they fit and lock in good and solid. Looks familiar.

Glad to see you back in the garage!

What a beauiful GT!!
It looks almost like an "albino twin" to my car.

Thank you for the heads-up on the front signal lights.
I had noticed that the openings in the new light housings looked like they might accept the Fiero sockets, but had not tried them yet.
I'm only left wondering what you might have done for the smaller socket and bulb in the Jeep Liberty light housing?
It looks to be the same or similar to the original Fiero side marker light socket....
Did you leave it empty or did you wire in another light somehow?

I'm sure I'll have a few more questions for you before I finally get this nose mounted on the car.
While Rob Amida's products are fantastic quality, I've unfortunately found his instructions he included to be lacking in clarity

Good to see you getting back into the game Randy. We need to get together to get some photos of our cars, I am curious to see how close our oranges are. I know yours is a pearl and mines just base/clear but colorwise I think they are fairly close.

Its funny, before I ever knew of your car I wanted to paint mine yellow. Now I fell in love with the bright orange but didn't want to "copy" yours and Im very pleased with the way mine turned out.

Lets do it!
A nice photo session might be good.

We also need to discuss a much needed swap for my car.
If i can swing the funds, i am ready to copy YOUR car

My second socket is blank, I just taped over the hole. I like thtat idea of a running light though. It's been over a year since I installed mine, but I'll do my best to answer any questions you have. BTW I love that paint on your car!
