Curley, thanks for pointing that out.

Archie let's do this.... Let's add the line from the hood inclined like in the picture. This good thing if the nose every needs to be masked off for painting that specific area.

Those mirrors will work just attach bolts to the surface then reinforce that. There's ˝" inside that triangular pocket.

DIY_Stu, What I understood is the bolts are too far apart. Example (not accurate).

You can make new holding bolts, cut the old ones off, get new ones, weld a square steel to the foot ( so the bolt doesn´t turn when fixing it to door )and fiberglass it in the position you want. Have someone that works with fiberglass do it, its very simple to solve your problem.

Looking at the pics its very easy to place the mirror in your car, don´t worry I will help you.


tks

We already planned to make that line level. It's only off about 1/8" right now.

However, when a picture is taken of it from this angle the line will still appear to run down hill because the surface the line is on runs at an angle to the camera position. Note how the corresponding line on the rear 1/4 panel appears to be level because that surface is closer to a 90* angle to the camera lens.

A stock Fiero nose has a seam across the front edge of the hood over to the stock Fender. That line continues down the fender to the molding on the side.



Maybe you guys didn't notice that the hood on #25 doesn't come all the way over to the fender. So there's no "line" to continue down. Maybe you'd like me to cut a new line continuing the line from the front edge of the hood thru custom fiberglassed NSX headlight opening over the top of the fender & down to meet the horizontal line.





I've been against cutting the horizontal line from the beginning. It's going to be very hard controling the depth of the line & imposible to sand & finish the inside & bottom of the cut. This line isn't doing anything for the car that a nice straight black pinstripe wouldn't do after it's painted.

This horizontal line is being cut into the fender to be a contiunation of the body lines on the back of the car. Your paint guy is already going to have a fit painting this horizontal line. Wait until he starts to complain about his paint collecting in the verticle line & causing a run.
