Hi Guys,
Why wasn't this fiero done on an 88 chassis??
Was it because the of the rear engine bay strut tower width difference for engine clearence?
Happy Holidays !!

It was the car that I had at the time I decide to do a IMSA kit .. Then I added a chop and then I added a .......... ect. If I had to do it all again I wouldn't change a thing (well maybe use a held front end ). Never thought about the strut tower thing but that would have been a problem as we needed every inch and still had to notch the strut tower on the passenger side.[This message has been edited by troyboy (edited 12-27-2013).]

Hey Troy
I hope everything is going good w/ your chopper
Would you mind telling what is the height from the floor to the front lowest part of the front bumper ?
I know that you have the reinforcement that Archie build for the bottom of the nose,
but what do you do when you come up to a speed bump ? or a driveway with an incline ?
any help is appreciated

First repair was last June when I had to replace an axle, I decided to do the work myself with detailed instructions from Archie. My brother Thomas also joined in for the fun with Archie on the phone.
