RCR -

I never actually thought about using different glass from other cars, didn't really think about that. I just thought it would be easier to use glass that I know follows the shape of the windows. Good call though. I have the buckets for the sunfire headlights already, I'll do that after everything, so maybe next year .

Yeah I am crazy ! hehe

Newbfiero -

Well its always nice to know that people are actually taking an interest in this project of mine.

---- UPDATES ----

Well I removed most of the foam panels for now. I want the bottom layer to go into the fiberglass stage soon so I am making the copies for the other side right now (boring I know :P) and will start the sanding / glassing this week. I was actually surprised on how close I was on cutting out that door. With the foam off the door, I managed to open the door with no effort at all and it was almost exact to where I wanted it. Thats always a good thing to see! I basically just traced out the stock door panel and made adjustments to the shape I wanted the thing.

Things I want in fiberglass this week... The internal framing and bottom panels. Perhaps the sideskirts but thats pushing it. We'll see how the sanding goes.

Thanks guys!

EDIT - 2 of the panels are sanded and awaiting fiberglass.. Muhahahaha!

hehe, I like my foam , other then the cost. Its alot better in my mind then using other things. I don't really want to make it out of wood and string, so this will have to do.

Thanks for the interest though.

Before you start getting mad at me for destroying a decent decklid... It had survived a fiero fire! the passenger corner was roasted, making it a good experimental decklid. Poor fiero.


I'm working on someting similar. My lid was torn from someone trying to get into the trunk and destroying half the lid. Now that the weather's starting to get warmer, fiberglassing is emminent. More ideas will happen once I get the time and cash.

i brought a fiero that someone had done this to. i really don't like it much 'cause both are bolted on unhinged pieces you have to lift off and on. work out some hinges and a good latching system if you really want this 'cause the bolting/unbolting and lift offs get old real quick.

Already have ideas to do that, and a little bit more...

I have my hinges worked out already. It will be a hatch, so the latches won't be hard.
