The body mounting looks pretty close to me.  Maybe it could go a little more forward, not much.
The Steering column problem is common and it can be shortened in several ways.  One of the best sources IMO is Rallye over at exotic motorsports.  He has lots of vids on YOUTUBE of course but if your stumped, just ask him.

I Think my body is way off dimension to the fiero frame  :-[
i will be doing more fabrication that what i was thinking. The body has to be mounted more foward that what i was thinking and the steering wheel is more than half ways back of the door is going to be.



Here is the rest of the pieces that will go on.

Yes.. I wanna have a full running chassis before I start mounting the body.
I have everything to get it running. All I need is time and knowledge. Lol.
I just order my fuel pump today. I have all the harness needed to run the engine thanks to fiero king but I just need to install it.

Are you going to wait until you get your car running before mounting the body?. It looks like you have almost everything you need to get the drivetrain back into your car.  You're doing an awesome job ::salute

Looking good, Welds could be cleaned up a little and see what you have maybe hit a few spots again, Im sure you aren't finished but the top of the lower frame rails will need a little attention as well over all making great progress! Brakes look Awesome!  ::beers
