"Some of the particulars of this conversion are as follows:
1) The actual chop as measured at the rear window is 2-3/4".
2) Your Fiero will retain the stock Windshield, it however is remounted.
3) The Rear window is replaced with a new safety glass rear window.
4) The door glass is replaced by 1/4" Lexan vacuum formed to the new profile of the side window opening.
5) Your original upper rear clip and roof panel are removed, reworked and replaced.
6) The original Fiero interior trim parts are reworked to give the interior a stock finished look."

Just a Q.. you did brace the car right? Run extra frame support under the car? And I was checking out your other post about the roll cage.. the one with the side bars would help in the deflection (??) and twist of the frame.. Just wondering cause Ive not seen anything said about this.. Looking great though!! I commend you on your venture!!
