Tried my hand at making some badges, they turned out okay but I'll probably just buy them in the end!
I met a man with a dollar, we exchanged dollars and we still had a dollar. I met a man with an idea, we exchanged ideas and now we both have two ideas!!!

Got my new toy today!!! Pretty excited to crush something with it! The wife is more concerned with being able to park in our 2 stall garage   :P

Mocking up the rear end as well, engine, transmission, and whatever else! Ordered a set of Civic radiators for the rear yesterday. Eager to hear this thing run but beginning to realize how many things are still left!!!

The front end is starting to take shape! I can only do so much without my body, hopefully that will be a purchase I'm able to make in the upcoming months. For now I need to get myself a running driving chassis!

The parts look great. How are you in touch with Mike (Murci-Me). Did you just call him or is he active on another board?
If I don't have time to do it right, when will I have time to do it over?

These are the hanger brackets I made to attach the upper portion of the rear engine bay to the fiero tub. I still need to come up with something for the lower portion, preferably utilizing the old cradle mounts!

i am thinking, heat, moisture and EMF from the engine could all cause havoc with the computer, moisture being the biggest issue than anything....the heat, well automotive grade components are designed for heat, but not always the moisture based on their intended mounting position.
just my thoughts...




Yeah probably just best to mount the computer inside, but I can still mount my relays and what not there! Thanks for the input!

That looks good, I was planing on making a larger piece to bolt there, similar to like a sub firewall to mount my computer, relays, etc in

Kinda what I'm thinking, it just seemed like it would be a pain to remove these guys without messing up the firewall! So I figured why not use it as a place to mount/hang/cleanup all my wiring. Is there any reason why I shouldn't mount my computer there? Heat/weather?
