Thanks Topcat - it's been a fun build - it's not done - but at least I can drive it now.

Now there's a funny story - I actually had to stop by Frizefrak's and borrow the big ass torque wrench as my axle nuts were getting loose this evening. Thanks for the big ass torque wrench Dan! I did not have near the pucker factor on the drive back home. I did get slapped twice by the Mrs though - once when leaving your house and when I smoked a Mustang GT on 601 on the way home! I know it will bury the speedo!

Got started on a hood extracter vent today. Rick suggested that I use a "defroster" vent grate from the Fiero dash and fluch mount it into the hood. I was sitting out in the garage taking a Union break this afternoon with Jeff and we were talking about the vent. My origianl plan was to cut a couple "strips" in the hood and "sink" them in to create a couple vents. After looking at ait and talking about it, I went out in the shed and grabbed a spare defrost vent. After laying it on the hood and looking at it some, we started laying out on the hood. We talked about setting it in at an agngle and after messing with it, I started to think that flush mounting it would be OK. But jeff said that setting it in at an angle would be "cooler". So that's the direction we are heading in.
Laying it out!
Starting to cut it out:
No going back now!
Mocked up!
More later!

Nice work Pat! I'm glad you took my idea and ran with it. Since you are using a factory Fiero part this could be considered a "stock" addition.
The "twin duke" actually was fairly quiet when you passed by me yesterday. I think you will suprise a lot of unsuspecting people.
How does the Mera look with its new lowered stance on the road?[This message has been edited by Rick 88 (edited 04-10-2011).]

Thanks Rick!
The exhaust came out exactly the way I wanted it - sounds nice and V8ish at idle - but not to loud with the pedal mashed. The Mera looks "right" now! We really need to trim the "tongue"
