Pretty smart guy to go & find that picture. It took a real rocket scientist to figure that out.   Archie [This message has been edited by Archie (edited 01-18-2006).]

Looking good, but they don't make the kit with round molding for the fastback? Just noticed it.

Or how about with no molding for those wanting to go smooth?

Dang archie, you guys sure know how to keep a scene interesting by reinventing the "fiero kit build" every year or so. Way to keep fieros the hottest hotrods around.
ITS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE PEOPLE SEE THAT FIEROS DONT BLOW UP, KILL MILLIONS OF PEOPLE A YEAR BECAUSE OF THEIR UNSAFE DESIGN, OR ARE REALLY SLOW!!!!!

I've had a little trouble with my picture posting setup here for the last couple of days. So tonight we are covering a few days' worth of work. Here we fitted the tail lights to the rear clip. You have to remove the Taillight housing from the original rear clip & glass it into the new rear clip. Then trim just right around the ends of the lights. 
Doing the decklid is a another matter. Whale tail is designed to replace the outer skin on the back half of the decklid. We also are installing a louvered vent cover above the engine area of the decklid. So we had to remove almoist the entire surface area of the decklid & fiberglass in these 2 items. Figure on lots of labor especially on the vented cover as it has lots of waves & very flexable.

After nearly a day of trimming & fitting of the wing & louver set, it bonded on. Then from the back side it gets fiberglassed on. It'll be glassed on the top after this sets up. The louvers were so warped that we laid another layer of glass over the underside of them. That way they might be firm enough to not flex while we try to sand them straight. We are thinking about glassing in some Re-Rod to firm them up some more. The thing that worries us is how to keep it from warping out of shape after 6 months of driving, heating & cooling.
