FieroGT stretch Concept (Page 42/240)

Switched to a modified GT Aero nose & rounded the back slightly. The sloped surface of the GT nose creates a longer look up front.

This is a car that Orville is building. There are probably other pictures around, but this is where I saw them. I didn't realize it was a GP until I rented a new one later that day.

Rob: Too much like the MR2..I like the Ferrari influenced design better, fwiw...Keep up the inspirational work.

Extremely helpful. At least now I know it fits!! I've asked MadCurl if he can connect with Orville to find some more pictures. If Amida wasn't so darn popular I'd just as well send him the dash and let him work his magic to make it a plug and play for me...but he's got that NOSE to finish!!! Back to the nose...back to the nose!!

A couple more mods: Replaced the stock base mouldings with new slanted type & switched to the extended windshield that I have for the 355 kit. I can still see Fiero in this, which is good. Wheelbase is 3" longer yet overall length is shorter than the stock Formula due to the shaved rear bumper. I would like to see a Northstar in this one.

Build it for me and I'll at least put an Aurora in it. If you insist on the N*, I'll do it.

That would be cool. I thought the Aurora is a 4.0L version of a N* . Are there other differences? I've been itching to do something like this or one of my other ideas to my Formula in the driveway. Maybe I could do a one-off & if anyone would like the same I could do some temporary moulds directly from the car.

Nope, you're right. They're pretty much the same. I only mentioned it because I have the Aurora. If you insisted on the N* (4.6L), then I'll take my Aurora out and get a N*. It would still use the same mounts, etc.
Now when can I expect my body kit?

It's alot more block sanding than I expected, but almost there. Got half of my demo unit lacquer painted & loosely fitted; still have to buff it out later. To prep, all it needed was some sanding & a little filler for the mould seams above the spear tips. The new paint makes the rest of the car look like crappola. Will need to replace the faded turn signals with a new set.

Will have to finish a few projects for others before I can work on something for myself...it always ends up that way doesn't it?

Paint looks sweet on the new piece. So, uh.....you're gonna come to Myrtle Beach when I need to have paint thrown on the Ferrario right?

Just wait until I get it polished up with the new nose. With all the prep work that goes into priming, painting & polishing just one panel, I wonder how good a Maaco paint job can actually look.

Thanks.
