Tomorrow I hope to weld in the brackets for the racing seats and maybe mount the tabs that will hold the rear brake calipers.

Busy couple weeks
I've been trying to keep busy, doing odds and ends try to clean up some of the little things, I got the front bumper formed, curved and installed. Also I built the fan shroud to hold two 12" slim fans, why two? because I got a deal on both of them and the stock ION harness requires two fans. Today I got to working on the seating position, steering wheel height and clutch pedal/brake pedal assembly. One thing I thought that I might have a issue with was the electric power steering motor, it turned out to be true, the stock ION/delta chassis motor sits low on the column but when it was installed on a ION/cobalt/G5 it was a non issue (although I do remember striking it with my foot a few times on that car), but since the Fiero is such a low car and there isn't much room in the drivers compartment this issue is compounded. In the photo's I took a couple shots of my feet on the pedals and how close it is, although I can still use the pedals with no issue, getting in and out will require watching your foot position and getting it under the motor while you get in. Lastly I got the rear clip cut up and mounted the fastback sails via metal brackets and tek screws.

I was kinda looking forward to the Notchie-fastback. :(
ReplyDeleteStill looking forward to the rest of the build.
Since you re-did the front suspension, are you planning on doing a double-wishbone on the rear as well?
