Jordan White Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I built this model for the Cannonball Run build, so it has more power and fuel capacity over the basic car (along with a V8 swap of course). Specs: -Chevy 350 V8 with 4-bbl carb making around 300hp -Stock 4-speed manual -Uprated sway bars and shocks -Extra 15 gallon fuel tank in place of rear storage space -Nismo 17 wheels and high-performance tires -Custom paint job of Ford Merlot Red metallic and gold accents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Geiger Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 (edited) That came out really cool. I especially like the contrast of the saddle color interior. Edited April 17, 2013 by Tom Geiger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan White Posted April 17, 2013 Author Share Posted April 17, 2013 Yeah I thought it would look good against the red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Whalen Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Hi, A Fiero with some grunt - I like the idea! A well executed build - you should be pleased with your work! Cheers, Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TooOld Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Great looking build , I really like how you did the exhaust ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan White Posted April 17, 2013 Author Share Posted April 17, 2013 Thanks guys! The exhaust was easy for the most part, since it was kit parts (namely the muffler/tips, and the pipe going to the forward manifold). The toughest part was creating the pipe section between the rear manifold and the muffler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sixties Sam Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Nice! You don't see many Fiero's in model form. Great colors, and the V-8 swap looks good! Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brodie_83 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 ^Agree, not a whole lot of Fieros on the board...but I have 3 Fiero kits so far (notchback 2M4, notchback GT like this one, and a fastback GT) and I plan on building at least one. This one is awesome with a V8 stuffed in the bay! Very nice work sir! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbowser Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Very cool model. I always thought the Fiero was a neat little car that didn't get enough marketing love from Pontiac. They were screamers with the 6 cyl, would be awesome with a V8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cahilj Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Nice build! I should try and finish up at least one of the 3 Fieros I've started Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danno Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Nice. GM brought a couple of V8 Fieros to Pikes Peak for testing. They were a handful. Imagine strapping a set of casters on a little rocket engine and duct-taping a lawn chair in front. V8 Fiero. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
