Nah my hands are usually dirty so I do the elbow or say sorry my hands r dirty if I dont wanna show love. Unless I really dont like ya then ill be the nicest guy u ever met n shake the hell outta your hand. Dont mind my greasy hands now lol.
I got the buckets mounted, they need another mounting point.
I welded some angle iron to the buckets to mount them to the rad support w sheet metal screws. Keepin it simple

But I really love fieros! Growing up that was one of the only cars that came w a big ass spoiler on the back and the car looked awesome! I had 2 notchback 4 bangers that caught fire, look for - my past fiero experiences thread. I was soiling myself when that happened but I laugh my ass off now.

Save all that scrap fiberglass, and you may have enough to build a small trailer to tow behind the car for overnight excursions!

My Testarossa tribute is my first Fiero. So far, it's been a PITA, but figure with so many rabid fans, it must be a great car. I may not have a well-running car, but I have hope!

Doing great! I find that polishing the turds depends directly on the integral strength on H2O content of said turd. This has a direct correlation as to the speed of the polisher settings. Too soft a turd and too high a speed and most of it hits the walls!!!

i didn't want to hijack this thread but this is what I wrote yesterday "I saw your post today in a thread and you mentioned yo have a Testarossa replica. While searching threads for pictures, I saw your engine problem thread. A few years ago I had the same issues and spent $600 dollars and shop time trying to solve it. After months of trying everything, I took off the valve covers and found one pushrod off it's rocker. pushed it under the rocker and it ran like new, of course it had $600 bucks worth of new parts !!! Hope this helps. " Sorry to the OP, not trying to hijack.
