Not until I get ready to put the LS4 in but I will let you know first.

I trimmed the rear quarters up today and added another layer to them.





I also started working on them




You can see were I cut them to fit them and widen them.

Yea, I will. Not sure if I will put vents in the doors or not. I'm still in the air on side vents. I do like the way the 355 doors look. I have to figure out the wheel openings also. I think I need to lower the car before I make them to get them were they need to be.

Yesterday was a rough day. I was eating lunch and looked behind the building next door to the Dairy Queen and saw two Fieros. I went by and ask if he needed to buy a good 2.8. He said he had bought the cars for his son a few years ago (1997). I looked and he had four. One of the cars was a dark green. I have never seen a factory dark Green Fiero but it was so faded it had to be the original paint. One was an SE one an 84 and an 88. When he told me he had no money to buy the engine. I walked away. Why is it so hard to walk away from Fieros sitting weathering away?

Well that sucks, I thought I was going to see some more work on your car. I think I'm having as much fun with your build as you are and I don't even have to do the work.

Fun, Fun, Fun, and today I was able to work on the car an hour or so. I took the front end apart so I could lower it and put the Polly in. It has been in the low 50s so I have not wanted to work in the cold but it has been a few days so I thought I would get some more pictures. The good news is it should be back up to 68 in a day or two.













I will try to find some time tomorrow to cut the springs and get it back together.

I wished Santa would of brought me a box of goodies like that.
