ok i hope you dont get mad but i was looking at the side scoop and it looks off when you put wide tires on it, it will look like the body rolls under so i though this would look better i hope you dont mind and its just a sugestion.
instead of tapering in taper it out[This message has been edited by 3.6lvvt6spdgt (edited 10-11-2008).]

Whats up everyone...
I am glad to see some interest. Makes all those hours sanding and getting itchy worth it.
85SEnochie--The big question door handles??
HC hit it on the nose. I did however find them a little less expensive (around $120 for a set)

3.6lvvt6spdgt-- I would certainly not get mad. I was hoping someone would give some of there own ideas. The only problem is that I don't think it is even possible to get a rim and tire as wide as that part of the rear anyway. When I started the back, I am already a good 1 1/4 inches out without the scoop. pic below:
After adding the scoop, I am way out there.
Thats when I decided to fill in above the scoop with another scoop which solved the problem on the drivers side which actually needs the scoop to work.
Like the Lamborghini, the scoop sticks out passed the tire. I will probably only go with a 10 or 11 in if lucky which will just make the top (above the wheel) filled in.
Then again, I really won't know until I can get the cash for rims and tires. I may end up doing exactly what you have pictured.
I really don't mind your input at all. I am actually looking for it. Thanks
Here is some updated pics:
As far as the front fender goes, I am simply going to remove it and modify how it attaches to the body to get it to pop out. It will save allot of time and money besides it looking right.
Here is a link to all the pics so far: http://picasaweb.google.com/Frickephoto/TheFiero#
Thanks again

Actually, after your post I took a good look at the way things looked from the top/back and the places in the next pic where way to shallow, so I am bringing it up a bit. You can tell by the color of the Bondo where I am talking about:
Also, on the front fender, I am simply making a Fiberglass replica and then using that to build out the front. I actually may do this to the Whole Drivers Side to eliminate the foam. I will still need to use the foam to make the scoops and such, but the glass seems quicker and more durable than just the foam and wood. We shall see.
