I really appreciate the pictures... They tell alot about your restoration effort.
You certainly have learned welding!

Best of luck with both the car and the marital problems, fixed up a few rusty Fieros over the years because I just could not bring myself to scrap them and would not hesitate to fix another as for marital bliss I really can not handle the thoughts of that again and would rather work on a Fiero. Dan

I know it was a way back, but for the GT quarter windows, now that you've removed the insert, I'd suggest getting a pair of Paul McKibben's GT inserts. I've had 2 sets and they look like factory originals. www.fierosails.com

Great work on the rest of the chassis. Reminiscent of Kathryn's 86SE.
