I have had a busy 10 days , my daughter had her second child a baby girl which makes for our second grandchild. We looked after my grandsons and their two dogs for 4 days so no work on the car.
I got back to finishing the front spoiler which Im happy to say turned out great. A lot of what I'm doing is removing all the foam that was buried in the fibreglass shell.
Everything I'm doing right now is preparing the parts for molding, and how there will attach to each other and the Fiero car frame.
Hopefully you can follow my process with my pictures.





Here I'm filling in the area with core board the tape holds it in position while I bondo from behind


Once its all set I put a scim of bondo over it to flatten the piece ,I then put a layer of fibreglass to seal it.
This will be a molded piece in the part.




I also cut away a lot of the front spoiler getting it to what it really needs to look like and how it will attach to the fenders

doing a similar fill as I did on the fenders with core board on the end caps





This shows the underside of the fenders and spoiler with the 2" lip that will be in the final part.



And this is the finished look


Thanks for looking.

I finished up the modification to the lower rear valance , I also made a deeper cut for the exhaust tips after taking some further measurements.
I still need to come up with a lower diffuser design , It will come to me just taking bit longer than normal.

Anyone have any ideas??




I never posted to a previous modification I made to the bumper area. I found the recess to be too deep almost 5"s making molding much more problematic to release.
I cut the area out and moved it forward 3 "s and reattached it, I rounded out all the seams to make mold release easier. Its all hidden behind the the bumpers but it's just one more area completed.

Excitement builds !!! I'm at last onto the last part of the car finishing the rear quarters, the Gills I think may take a bit of work to finish but it's probably one of the most iconic designs built into the car so needs to be done right.

Thanks for looking.

The build is moving along even with the weather and temps doing their best to slow everything to a crawl.
I've been putting a lot of time into the side Gills , I found that I had made a mistake in my design. After some research I have now corrected both sides to match the OEM 288. I also have closed off the openings now to allow for building the molds.
I also cleaned up the rear spoiler tradition from the engine compartment to the beginning of the spoiler.
I have probably a weeks worth of finish sanding and I'll spray the entire car with epoxy sealer primer and then a heavy coat of slick sand to do final sand to 600 grit preparing for paint.
enjoy
