That Fiero Fiberglass bumper looks amazing! With the location you put the exhaust (GREAT choice by the way) the open areas look a little off where the exhaust would normally go. I was thinking maybe put some of the same grate material as used on the side scoops. This would help make the tires not so visible through the holes, and look similar to the grates you see on Lambo's and such on the rear.
I am NOT trying to nitpick, and know you have a lot of work to do, but offering an idea for down the road is all.
I have been watching this build unfold since Johnny proudly showed me his car, and described everything he had planned for it. At that time it was wedged in a corner and neglected in a shop in Georgia. It is SO nice to see it all start to come to completion! Great work, and so many kudos to you guys for stepping up to help make a very very wrong, into a very very right!

Having a little bit of an issue. The oil pressure on the gauge pod in the car reads real low...so low the red light illuminates at idle when hot.
However...I installed a manual oil pressure gauge it reads 50 -60 psi.
Could the gauge on the dash be a problem? Please note there was no interior harness in
the car when we got the car. All the other gauges work as they should.

The oil pressure sensor on the 2.8 is prone to problem, as air and water get in a little hole in the sensor and cause the gauge to give false readings...
Normally, the result is opposite, as the 3800 puts out like 80 PSI oil pressure. This usually almost pegs the Fiero gauge. I know nothing about the sensor on the 3800, but does it put out the correct signal to work with a stock Fiero gauge? I thought I had heard people using a Fiero 88 oil sender in the 3800's if I recall....[This message has been edited by JohnWPB (edited 09-15-2014).]

I am using an 88 Fiero oil pressure sender. When I turn the key to the on position the needle on the gauge goes up to zero. When I start it it goes just over the red.
If I unplug the harness from the sender and turn the key on it pegs the needle to over 80. I install a 47 ohm resistor on the tan wire at the o.p. sender it stays pegged.
I thought it should show about half on the gage on the dash???
I also noticed the cooling fan comes on all the time.
any ideas?
