Thank you so much jaredmurray88, it's slowly evolving into all that mix the wiper bib looks better than last years
New wiper bib continues sloping down with same angle, makes overall windshield look longer
Playing around slapped parts on to visualize

Car-lo everytime we think you have gone off the deep end by cutting up some already seemingly fabulous work, you make us all look silly by crafting something even better !

Thanks exoticse, just two old grumpy guys having fun
Today Patrick came over to fix his cracked rocker panel, after that we all played with RBS2. She was happy to get out from garage and we turned her around facing out, so we can play with front end.
we notice wheel rubbing fix that later
Started to cut and fit lights

Thanks Ken, looks like the front end will be similar to the Lambo Veneno

Thanks Pete, all mix of Lambos slowly getting done
Cutting off old RBS2 hood and building up FES1 Veneno hood
Flipped mock up to other side before cutting new hood parts make sure it's the same
Patrick dropped by
Are those the last gen. Toyota Celica headlights?....Plus are you gonna stay with a round gas door or more angular to match the rest of the body contours?

Yes Celica headlights, about the round gas door I was thinking about that and yes I'll have to do something there (one thing leads to another)
I have never seen a car get as much attention as my Murci replica. I'll bet that if it was parked next to your finished car that yours would out draw mine by a long ways though. Do you have a tentative estimate of your finish time? I still have sad feelings that your original car is no more in spite of my full approval of what you are doing.
Is that supposed to look like the pontiac sysmbol on purpose or do I see pontiac in everything?
Not really, I was just copying the Veneno hood and accidentally had that Pontiac shape that's all.

Thanks dratts, you're way to kind to RBS2 if it does draw more attention it would be only because it looks somewhat of all the latest concept Lambos mix in blender Don't be sad about the old RBS, she left me for someone better anyway much more fun with RBS2
Not much progress since last time, been busy with other things, just a few pics shot today
Thanks for asking dratts, here you go...
SCHEDULE: finish body work: end of June / finish interior: July / drive RBS2 in primer and get gremlins out: August .
On the one hand, the artistic side of me sceams "Holy cow this thing is wild, original, inspirational, and truely deserving of an Ingenuity Award (if such a thing existed)". Kudos for having the courage, patience, and vision to turn a Fiero into a truly one-of-a-kind beast!
On the other hand, the practical side of me hopes that the car won't be sidelined by your provincial Motor Vehicle Act for such things as a lack of bumpers, or your ability to get insurance coverage for it. Fingers crossed you've looked into these issues.

Ummm... anyone notice that John didn't mention anything about what year he might've been referring to?
I know that John really enjoys doing this kind of stuff, but seriously, it's too bad that John doesn't have two Fieros... one to tinker with, and one to drive. He could then alternate between the two as the need arises.

Thank you so much for the compliment Bloozberry and tip
No, haven't looked into these issues I may have to insurance it as a hot rod without all that stuff or design bumpers tucked in between hood and wing add mud flaps to cover the exposed 325
Even the headlights are too low at 18-3/4" from grade, RBS2 may not pass anything
I'll keep you posted about the issues I'll have to go through
[This message has been edited by Car-Lo (edited 05-26-2013).]
Hmm...set those up as your driving lights (40cm minimum, only 2 allowed and only when highbeam is on) and stick some popup headlights farther up for the inspection? you can remove or disable 'em after.

Thank you Stubby, Danyel and Bloozberry only Canadians made comments on safety
Today, just playing with fenders
JUST A HEADS UP... I've taken on another project, RBS2 is on pause for two weeks ( that will pay for more goodies for her )
[This message has been edited by Car-Lo (edited 05-31-2013).]
Just checked in on your progress after about 2 months of forgetting about it. (cant believe I let this slip my mind) So pleasantly surprised when I checked back in. I'm speechless.........
project tweaked again 
changing RBS2 nose as shown parts marked in red .
the wiper bib looks better than last years 
slapped parts on to visualize 
slowly getting done 
and thank you for the compliment 
there's one TOAD in bucket on page 17
anyway you get the rough idea 
I'll have to do something there (one thing leads to another) 
anyway much more fun with RBS2
