Last night I was able to get some pic's not all that much to see, I fitted the console and to do so I had to cut the lower dash and move it up. at this time it is just sitting in place because I am still deciding where I want it to go. I am also working on a 355 style cover to go on the column that I made using a real 355 cover. it will take some work but I will get it. D.

How far did you have to move the dash center? I know from before that spyderdash sat pretty low on the tunnel.

once I cut it appart I had to move it up about 1-1/2" up and about 3/4 out from the dash. then I cut the center up and took an inch out of it. the stock setup has 3 gadges on the top and the stereo on the bottom. on my set up I am going to use a nav. Kenwood that is larger and I will make custom gadge pods for the Apiller. D.

What ever one is done! if any?  the way it looks at the moment if I can get enough money together to finish the DD and the trip I will most likely bring that one. I would love to bring the choptop but I would rather not just slam it together for the show just to take it back appart to finish it right. D.

Ok, here is a little update for all. I have been working on the DD as of late to get it done and back on the road soon. but I have not given up on the choptop. the one thing I will say about my choptop is that it is always changing at least my plan for it is. it is moving forward slow at the moment but I will be getting back to it very soon full tilt. Rob AKA Amida is working on some more parts for me that I will have back soon. here are some pic's that he sent me last night. what I did was send him the gadge cluster from my car and had him overlay carbon fiber on to it so it would flow with the console he built for me as well as make me a flat piece to use for the trim around the head unit. D.

This is a little late for the hub chat, an hope you don't mind me interjecting some two cents worth, but not sure if anyone has checked into this as a hub solution or not, but I looked up hubs for a C5 vette, and they're basically just like the Fieros, only bigger. Some years had the 3 bolt mounting like the Fiero, an some had the 4 bolt mount design. Seems like if you are using those custom knuckles, you could drill some more mounting holes for the larger bolt pattern to mount the vette hubs. Also there is the knuckle from the 6000 that is a bolt on for the rear of the 84-87 that accepts the front hub from the S-10 4X4 which is bigger and has the vette lug pattern. Using the S-10 outer axle stub with the Fiero axle is an easy upgrade for those stump pulling engines that want to rip the factory Fiero hubs apart and gives you the more common wheel bolt pattern.
Kudos on the incredible build. Inspiration for all. Thanks
