Dam he has some skills but I'm not so sure about starting it in the basement? I would have made the hole in the basement wall first then made one of the best looking from scratch countach made today ------------------

Considering when a clutch job for a real 355 costs around 7k to do by a certified dealership or repairship vs $250 bucks on a Fiero based kit. They might be cheap but in the long run unless you plan on owning a garage queen its gonna cost you to keep it on the road.
Id rather turn my Fiero into a Countach or a Diablo than spend 30k to put Vette headlights and a V8 engine and be slow as ...... and its STILL A Fiero at the end of the day. Just sayin at least my product will be a Lamborghini to naked eye

If the business is booming it's with higher replica builds and not the watered down versions some of which are featured here, but on Barrett-Jackson even they feature Factory Five replicas, so that is surely the way to go. The replicas featured here would never make it to BJ auction for everybody would know right away that it's a poorly built car.

How about this one?

BTW F Barrett Jackson. They sell POS's to. I had a friend back home in Colorado that bought a 68 Camaro and the damn thing was rusted out underneith the paint.

I'm the picture taker on this one. To me, it looks like one man's dream to make his car look exotic. It does not appear to be a kit but an original design. Each to his own.
I'm still a little puzzled to what really constitutes a 'kit'. If I bought a Caterham, I could get it with complete with the last nut and bolt and the colour of my choice. My 'kit' consisted of some panels I found in Scranton Pennsylvania, Sugar Island Michigan, along with bits and pieces through Ebay and Kijiji. Basically, it is a jumble of parts that I scratched my head and managed to put together (except the last engine swap). What sets one car apart from another is the workmanship. Different levels of skill produce a different quality of car. I have seen two of the same kits side by side and you would think they were completely different cars.
As far as badging a car, I have emblems from a few cars just to give it the look of a production car. I prefer to be unique and 'along the lines of' rather than a mirror of another car and keep people guessing. It's more fun that way.
I've had a good time with the car but it will soon go. 12 years of ownership is enough.

When people ask what type of car it is, I always tell them it is a Fiero based kitcar. I honestly get more questions from younger people asking me what is a Fiero?

Its sad that hardly anyone knows what a Fiero is these days. I've had many people ask me if my car is a Ferrari 348
