Hey no prob, I will be taking parts of robochop apart very soon and if you need more pics I could possibly shoot more. I will be starting the front end mods hopefully within the next few weeks, JImmyz's front end will look nice I think!
Yes chris, the plans are underway to get the drop coils in within the next few weeks, I just might have time to paint it for the dells show but right now it looks like it will be going in all its different shades of white this year
I’ve seen a couple of chopped Fiero’s before but you nailed this one. However, are you going to lower it as well? It looks a little tall (just my opinion).

Yup you must have not seen the post right above yours, I have Intrax lowering springs going in it within a few weeks, I am just waiting on the new ball joints to get here.
Finally, getting some work done again on ol robochop. Here we are redoing all of the suspension with poly and intrax lowering springs that were re powder coated black.
Cut down the bump stop a bit and re welded it for more room. I will then be making bigger bumpers to fine tune it.
We had one hell of a time with the lower A Arm bolts in the front, * hours later we had 2 bolts out!!!!
Finally found the shaking in the car, the steering rack shell was busted in half behind the mount so I could not see it. Scary!!!!!! I drove it to the dells and back like this!!!

Ok I can do that, may be a bit dark tho its getting late! Hey Chris, no worries I have been hiding in the house the last few days instead of working on the Fiero and Vette, I hope to get back to work soon as this heat wave breaks!
Here ya go, a few pics from the side, Took a few of the wheel to fender as well
Here is a pic of whats holding up the progress on the Fiero. soon as it cools down I will be back on finishing up the engine then throwing the windshield in and starting body work.
Yup its coming along very slow, the heat has been unbearable here and the average is 110 out in my shop so I have been working on it as I can. I have the hood cut and the bumper bonded to the headlight buckets but now I need to bond in the headlight holes to fill in the area that is missing. I have posted a bunch of pics of the progress in the nose build thread. I think tonight if it cools down I may head out and try and do a little more but we just finally after 4 weeks of no rain just got a nice 4 hour storm so who knows I may just hide out in the house yet!
I really need to get back to work on the ol chop, right now I cant do anything with it till after I change the trani in parents truck. The prob is I do not want to leave it out in the cold while working on the parents truck at my place so I will need to take it to our storage building for a bit and if it snows it will be stranded there till spring.
We have been getting hammered with snow, and lots more to come in the next week. this time last year it was in the 70's. Winter will just not let go but when it does its time to cut up the front end and finally finish the new nose modifications but not before I hit a few cars shows first and get the corvette out of the garage and running. I will have it done by mid summer I think I just need to pencil in some me time and hammer it out. I am currently working on starting my own shop and others cars are being pushed ahead of my own so I can generate enough cash to finally quit my day job and lease a large building to go full throttle building cars.

Good luck on the new shop and the car looks LOOOOOWWWW. Nice work.
Back to work on the ol chop finally!!!!!!! Todays fun was removing the engine!! images.fieroforum.com/2012/CIMG7045.JPG"> The old engine, it will be going into another club members car and replaced with a nice fresh 2.8 for now. I could not pass it up a nice rebuilt powder coated engine for 200 bucks!
Any more pics? motor install done yet? Would love to see a you tube of this on the road or pics in some public place. This thread is my inspiration.
BTW I also sent you a PM
The engine is back in and running, I have not really driven it since bringing it home due to being super busy with the rottiin resurection build. I will take some pics of it soon .It is really dirty now lol! I had to kick it out of its house for a few weeks till the 82 corvette project I have going on is done.
Right now it is siting up at Steves house for the winter s he works on my swap. I just got set of Speed daddy headers for it as well and a spintech I think he said it was muffler so hopefully it sounds good!
