Yesterday I was having a bad day I thought I was going to have to close the doors on my shop because a contractor was paid for my part of the job and instead of paying me he kept it for himself. last night I was able to contact the owner of the building and he has a check for me directly this morning. the contractor has alot of explaining to do to him.
but the long and short of it I get my money to keep my shop going. so now I will not have to sell my car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am going to try to work on it this weekend so I hope to post new picks on monday

I wanted to post this pic to hold you all over till monday.
a friend of mine has more money than he knows what to do with. I went with him to the Laborghini dealer
when he got his new car and they had me sit in one and took this pic.
all I wanted were the keys! LOL.

Dean, you've put too much love and work into that car to sell it. Unless it's costing you money to sit there and wait until you can finish it, I just can't see any reason to sell it.

It's Monday!
And I was able to do a little work on the car this weekend. it felt great to work on it again.
I am still sick of bodywork so I decided to work on other things. first off I did do a little body work on my Mirrors and got them in primer.
I have taken the stock Fiero mirrors and pulled all the guts out of them so I can make my new mirrors power using the stock Fiero parts. plug and play!
after I got tired of body work I decided to work on the inside of the car. first off I plan to do a sound system in the car and with space being what it is I cut the back wall behind the seats to give me a little extra room. I then boxed them back in and started installing the sound mat on the inside of the car. evrey surface on the inside of the car will be done
as well as the back side of all the trim and dash as well as the doors I will use one layer of Dynamat on the doors but I will also cover the inside of the door skin with the supperlite
mat. I want to keep weight on the doors down but also keep the rattles away.
here are a few pic's from this weekend.

ClayTonto gave me the heads up on a paint on sound deadner that I just ordered to help with the Dynamat
I am giong to use it to get all the spots that are hard to do with the mat like the underside of the dash and I will also do the doors with it to keep
the weight down. when I am done with the car it will be as quiet as I can get it.

this stuff costs way less than the Dynamat.

I am going to try to work on the car this weekend and post some new pics by monday

Glad you decided to use the eDead, BTW you can even apply it over the dynamat if you like. Gotta love that stuff.

just a little update... last night i worked on the mirrors I took the guts out of the stock Fiero power mirrors so I could install them in to the new mirrors.
I used a dowell rod to mount the plate to and fitted it into the housing then I used a 1min. epoxy to set it in place. I will also glass over all of it later to finish them.
I amusing all the stock Fiero guts so it will be plug and play as far as the mirror itself I will use the stock backing plate but I will cut it to fit then install a mirror that I will have
to cut and fit by hand but for me this is no big deal because I own a glass shop and I do this every day. I will post a pic once photo bucket gets done with the update they are doing now.
here is the pic....
