I second that. Where did you purchase the windows and how did you do that? Do you have any pictures of the process? I would love to hear more about what you did.
smooothgt thanks for the interest i'd say about a 6 on the scale. i started with a jig saw and tape measure and my trusty mig welder .removed interior ,braced across doors removed front windshield then roof panel ,rear bumper and rear upper roof ,supported front roof then removed back window then marked 3 inches off with tape and cut off back inner roof support cut relief on inner roof then spread out to lower tack welded back on then started up front by cutting v reliefs in lower front and and reliefs in upper then laid it back to meet to rear roof added inner roll bars in window pillars and rear roof supports and welded back together.then had to start fitting fiberglass back on first main rear upper piece then front roof which i had to take out about 2 inches. front windshield is stock but rear is just flat saftey glass which i had a friend help me cut and sand the edges..this process took about 8 months of after work and 2 day off a week to complete i even did my first attempt at paint which if i don't say didn't come out too bad .and this was all done in a 12ft x 22 ft garage i will e-mail more pics when my friend sends them to me as i don't own a camera yet he came a took all my pic through the tear down and build up sorry so long but it's a long process as archie can admit to thanks again Rj
You can never be to low or have big enough wheels! It just goes with the exotic sports car look.
Before with 17" wheels
Now with 19" wheels (no change in ride!)
Good Luck!!

Well, when you want your car lowered, don't they usually do the other side? LOL! Looks like a good job on the chop though. Now all ya need is a set of nice rims, and it'll be set! Good luck to ya. And yes, that is a radical Fiero.

Thanks for sharing the pictures with us! That thing is pretty sweeeet. Definetly agree that it needs rims. Get some 16 inch rims and some low profile tires and then slam it and it will be even lower! Other people suggested 17 inch rims, but I think 16s would look better since the car looks so small cause its so low. With that setup you could drive right under a semi no problem.

I'm not always fond of the Formula's but with such a extreme chop I think it would look better if you went with Formula bumpers rather than GT. I just think the extreme chop makes the car look even smaller and the GT bumpers would be to bulky. I would choose between 16's or 17's (thinner type spokes with the Formula look). I think it would just give it a lighter look. Could someone photoshop either bumpers on it?

the hitch is to tow the color matched trailer of rear of a fiero .I'm hoping for 16 inch rims but waiting till i finish the new gullwing doors and 350 eng,hope to make it even sweeter and i already fit fine under semi's in motion

Ron, Can you do a "Build-Up Thread" for the GullWing Door's?? I thought that there is ALOT of modification's to the roof, and the door's. Everyone say's it can't be done... Go For It!!

is that not reason enough to build,i mean when someone says something can't be done you at least need to try..and i'll try on the build up thing but i've never been to good with words just my hands or computers

You took the words right out of my mouth! I couldn't agree more.
