Hey engine man, long time no see ! Several of the noses were made. Madcurl has the molds in California. He needs a fiberglass guy and bonafide interest.

Wish I could have been there. Did anyone bring there car? Any one of them would have gotten a lot of attention just sitting in the parking lot.

I wonder if he could work out an agreement with the guys over at PISA. They're in Phoenix, Arizona, not sure how far that is from Madcurl (not sure what city he lives near). It is a nice nose!
Forums, in general, are seeing a lot less traffic thanks to The MetaFace or whatever they're calling themselves this week. Just sucks that there is an even greater instance of repeated questions there, because there isn't a fantastic forum of information to search!! Or so I was told by Chug. I do not have a FB account, and have no plans on getting one by my own choice.

That is a gorgeous car.
I love the sleeker lines on chop tops, and this one has suicide doors, which I also like. My biggest concern with this setup is with the increase windshield slant and choptop, one must be careful, short, or have a lot of room to open the doors wide to get in and out without knocking your skull against the A-pillar.
If I had the liquidity to buy this car, I still would. lol

The First Suicide door swap I did was the LT1 Stinger ChopTop.
With that car the suicide doors made it a lot easier to get into (& out of) the car.
My current ChopTop car is #21 with normal doors. I'm 6'2".
With a ChopTop & normal doors, (like the GBCT) I got in the habit of putting my Right forearm on the underside of the "A" pillar. Then I just duck under my arm. Once you try it a few times, it becomes a habit I do on all Fieros.

Robert Cranwell out of North Carolina with his mostly finished choptop.

I believe he did the chop himself using the Archie guidelines and kit.

Looks and sounds great! Is he on PFF? If he's local-enough in N.C., I would love to see it in person!
