Well I started working on her tonight. I got it into the garage and started to strip the body off it.

About 2 hours later I had this

Well did alot of cleaning today and started to reinforce the chasis. Got the 2 x 2 x 1/4" wall box welded into the drivers side rocker. I still need to finish the upright boxing on it then move over to the passanger side. I am planning on cutting the roof off next weekend so there is alot of prep work to be done before then. Here you can see the box tube welded in.


Oh yea I am using a notchie clip on this one because it is best for the ideal I have in mind. All notchies should be used like I am . The duct tape is where the clip will be cut at. More detailed pics through the week of cutting the rocker and the reinforcing I am using on her.

Hey Yellow ! first off cool thread I would love to do a fiero like this , Can am style . Well back to the subject If you use the notchie rear clip then you'll have to go with the rear tailight style. Was that your original plan ? From your concept it looks like you have the fastback style rear on the car. Just wondering .

you will just have to stay up to date on this thread

Update.......SHE IS TOPLESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

here is all of the reinforcing put in. I still have to box in the front and rear of the tube stock and do a little dress up on it but so far so good.

A close up of some of the welds.

Here I am deflowering a perfectly good fiero. Boy was that fun The roof did not sag at all when I cut it. The blade did not even pinch so I guess the supports are doing their job. There will be two more weeks of welding on the car to box everything in and get it to the point that I want it. from there I am going to be moding the interior to something that has not been done before. Dont ask you will see it when I post the pics

To get an ideal of how the glass is going to be layed out I put the fender, door, and 1/4 panel on. The green tape is where it is going to be cut at. Notice how much of the front windshield is cut down.

and another one

YELLOW please lay that windshield back a little
YELLOWFIERO88 NOV 14, 10:37 AM
That was one of the first ideals I wanted to do was to lay it back. I was going to but I also do not want a tint strip that is 1" tall and goofy looking. If I lay it back then the front glass will be to low or I will have to have a goofy looking tint strip that I can do nothing about. I dont know if I can get a windshield that has no strip or not. I could always go with lexan but I do not know if it is street legal or not and also the price would also cost a fortune.
