FieroGT stretch Concept (Page 43/240)

The surface of this nose has curves , design lines & radii all over it which makes hand block sanding a very, very, slow & tedious task. The entire surface was coated with glaze which is slowly being sanded off to achieve as smooth a surface as possible. I decided to go with the Formula wheel tubs instead of the GT tubs which I thought kicked the sides out too much at the bottom. Anyone with GT tubs can trim it down.

As expected this is going to come out looking amazing. Are you still planning on making use of the modual style nose with the 512 as well?

Yes, I still have the 512 donor waiting in the wings. Part of the reason why I'm spending so much time on the Fi355 nose is that it's going to be the base structure for any future nose designs. So, I'm literally going over every square millimeter with a caliper, devider, block & sandpaper. Once that's all set-up any other design that I do will just be cosmetic changes. Look for the Fi512 nose mid to late summer. Thanks.

this is a little mod i thought up to make it look more modern
the lines under the car show the cars original length and wheelbase
i kept the same roof, doors, and windshield. i had to make my own fastback because i only had a nochy drawing.

That's cool. Is this your Fiero project? Does someone already make that rear spoiler?

The 512 has a flatter profile that is more similar to the GT aero nose without the front rake. I'll have to focus on a few interior in the coming months.

Wow, I would seriously buy a 512 nose if you supplied one that would bolt up to my 88gt.

88White, It's a good thing that I went with the 2-piece design which will make other designs simpler to do. Is that a flame job on your car? Got a bigger pic?
