we have front an rear fiberglass panels Now just missing the door mirrors , doors an side skirts. We are making parts from our own budget ,we have 1 invester who is waiting for his body,an this guy is very paitient ,he said this is by far the most accurate body to date , even after real panels become available this will still be the most user friendly package for sometime to come !!


we are trying to get it right an have the most complete package on this side of the pond.

When do you estimate your first whole set of fiberglass will be pulled?  Keep up the good work brother.

I have a curiosity question... When building a car why do so many builders choose to go with a Fiero frame? It seems to me that the replica chassis out there are far more superior and newer... Is it because of cost? Or other issues also?

The fiero allowed people to put a kit body on a running driving chassis for the cost if the fiero ($1-2000) and a stretch $(1-2000).  Buying a custom chassis , drivetrain etc costs much more.

Of course this cost savings only applies if you use the stock fiero engine , suspension interior etc.  Once you start changing those , the cost savings diminishes
For the people changing the interior, engine etc it makes less sense to use a fiero

psst... cheaper would mean buying more expensive parts for the tube chassis and not the donor. All depends.
and not everyone can find a really nice fiero for a few hundred dollars.

Most early Diablo and Murcielago kits were designed to fit on the Fiero chassis. I dont think there's anything wrong with using a donor, whether its a Fiero, MR2, Boxster or whatever. Using a donor is usually cheaper, faster, and easier to register. It all depends what you're looking for.

moving  alone  Lambo_Sam                      2 ENGINE SWAPS NEXT on the 13" stretched chassis,s


I agree with this for the most part ,NAERC Replica chassis has 3-4 more inches in the foot well area it longer an the fire wall is straight up not angled like the fiero so like i said 3-4" where your feet fit but the dash is closer to you an cause problems for tall people getting in an out ,i am 6'-2" 202lbs i have no problems getting in an out of the fiero , i do have to let the column all the way up before i get out of my reg fiero so for anyone over 6' tall change the column to a GM cavalier tilt ( what NAERC USED or now the new option from MM THE Sebring column ) it make the interior look better anyway. On a personal note i like the fiero because the fuse panel & wiring, brake line pluming,master cyl. ,porpotion vavles , the a/c system , radiators ,gas tank an lines

GM did not want to build a car that would or could compete with their FLAG SHIP "CORVETTE" an this was a HOT TOPIC at GM so a 90hp 4cyl or a 140HP V6 , THE SUSP. came from cheap econo fuel savers from the 70,s an yes stretching a fiero even in stock form will help cool the front side of the engine ,get heat off the firewall , plus increasing the wheelbase is better for cornering or i guess i should say turnning in curves ,setting up a good pair of swaybars would make this thing feel like its on rails (front & rear )

All good points from IKR! People FORGET about ALL the additional work required for a tube chassis.

Hmmmm... Ok I see it's a roadster but with a 6.0 front clip and early year murcie wheels, which easily will fit diablos, and relocated side view mirrors, P.o.t.r. are you sure it's a replica? Looks to me its a real roadster with some customizing ::scratch And his windshield wiper works!...lol
