Removed the AC condenser today...sanded down the entire area and shot it with a nice coat of black rust-o-luem






Now its about ready for the new AC condenser and Radiator

Also time to contact member sardonyx247 for the bigger brake booster:


And I think I am going to match it with this master cylinder:

I figured if there is going to be an air vent on both the driver and passenger sides...already utilizing the driver's side for my air filter...so might as well utilize the passenger side for...ALUMINUM ENGINE OIL COOLER

MAJOR UPDATE to the STORY!

Found my lost friend of 20 years...Brent!

He actually had a picture of his original GT:


I remember the day that picture was taken...I had just finished buffing the hell out of it!



And guess what else...got Brent back on the Fiero BUG!!! He is flying out to MESA, AZ to check out a Fiero next week...if he likes he will drive it back to Kansas City.

Don't get that one. Rodney Dickman's master cylinders are much improved over the originals. I can't stand the stock reservoir with that plastic standoff that is supposed to prevent rotation when the cap gets stuck.

You got some of the nicest pieces i've ever seen

Is the aluminum 3 core radiator a stock fiero replacement - will it be enough cooling for the 3800 SC ?

where did you get the steering wheel?
TXOPIE FEB 03, 09:36 PM
Jefrysuko....thanks for the heads up on that one!

TXOPIE FEB 03, 09:40 PM
PaulJK,

Well thank you for the compliment! Yes I do think it should be enough, but I am also planning on utilizing an oil cooler and next year adding an IC as well.

As far as the steering wheel...I let you in on an untapped area for some very cool steering wheels...the boating industry! I also am into motor & sailboats.

The steering wheel is made by UFLEX.

NOW a better option as pointed out by another member and I would have to agree is:

Rodney's aluminum clutch master cylinders
