No problem John;
I put my cold air vents in place last weekend on the top portion of the cowl. I will get some pics and post in your build on WestCoast Fieros for you to see. Not sure you will have enough room to do the same thing though as your screen comes out further on the sides. An option anyway.
Looking forward to seeing what you do with the rear quarter panels.
Cheers Don

Thanks, but I'm no bodyman, Don (355Fiero) is the real deal ! I had to ask PFF and WCF club members what materials they use (thank you very much)
Anyway Matt Board is used for framing pictures, matt board is the boarder around photos ?

You are making me blush Car-2-Lo.
I took some pics of my cowl air vents I was telling you about. I can't seem to get my photobucket nor PIP to work tonight so I posted over on the West Coast Fieros site for you.
This should let in some additional air into my cowl area since the extended screen covers all the other inlets now. Not as large an opening as oem but between these vents and the drains that are no longer needed given no water gets into the cowl area now, I should get a decent amount of air into the heater box. Time will tell.
I like your mockups of the rear sail panels. I also use 1/4" corrugated plastic board you can get from Home Depot or Rona pretty cheaply. The plastic can be shaped pretty well and then also used as a rough mould as the fiberglass doesn't stick to the plastic.
Cheers Don

Well Don, it's true, I'm Bozo next to you 
I moved your pics of cowl air vents here to share (thank you) it looks like I'll have enough room as well. Right now I'm focused only playing with rear end


Another great tip from Don, using corrugated plastic board, went out to Home Depot and got a 4x8 sheet (thank you) I'll be using this for mocking up lower rear wing diffuser (lots of rough templates until it looks right)

I'm using old RBS doors that had reverse chop about 1-1/2" to 2-1/2", this what it looks on RBS2...


Hacked away right down to front and about 1-1/2" at rear...
