Finaly a real update!
last night I worked on the car for a few hrs. first I worked on the carpet I was able to remove the padding from the carpet without damage so I could re use it with new carpet.
next I made a glove box and did a few other tweaks on the doors that I will get more into later.
while I was waiting for the fiberglass to dry I worked on the frontend, I know you will all like this one when I get it done but here are some pics from the start of it.
I cut out the MDF to the size and shape that I wanted then I fitted it to the car I don't want to go any farther out or lower with it because I would like it to stay on the car.
a fiero with a real glove box! not that big but better than nothing!
the padding from the old carpet, I will get to that later.

I worked on the car this weekend but I did not get any pic's yet. this weekend I worked on the inside of the car I finished all the Dynamat and on top of that I used a liquid sound dead on top of everything else, I did the underside of the dash and the doors. when I remove the body I will do the top of the cab and the wheel wells as well. I want this car to be as quiet as I can get it. I did not work on the body yet, I am still deciding what I want to do with the lower on the front. I think I will have a little time to work on the body this next week but I will keep you posted.
D.

When you get this thing finalized, I hope you're going to pull molds from it. If not to sell, at least in the event of any inadvertent body damage. Lotsa deer up there where you live.

here are some pic's that I took last night.
I finished all the sound proofing on the inside of the car and started test fitting the dash and door pannels
as well as the seats. I am still not sure if I am going to use the stock Fiero seats but I want to get them as low as I can in the car so I don't hit my
head on the roof.
the whole inside of the car has been done in Dynamat and then painted over with the edead.

Duh! The last time I looked in the tech section, it said your thread was closed. I figured something must have happened? Tonight, I found the new section with build threads and found you're still here.  Then I read that you were about to pull the plug on this. I'm glad it all worked out in the end! I'll need to pm you soon about coming to get the wheels. You're car is looking good! Hang in there!

last night I worked on the front lower. I made a pattern using 5/8 MDF to get the shape then once I was happy with it I took
it and used a trick that my friend taught me if you tape over the wood and then fiberglass it it makes it easy to remove the fiberglass from the wood.
I don't want to leave the wood in because it makes it heavy and the wood would take on water so I just used it for the shape. once the bottom is done I will mock it back up
under the nose and do the top part of the glass. I will make it removeable so if I hit something I can take it off and fix it.
I also have my wheels with me today to get new tires installed I will post pic's of that next monday.
but for now here is the part from last night.
