I don't have
to many photos of my Fiero chasis, I didn't have a digital carera, and
I didn't think I would have a web site. I cut the body by removing the
engine compartment completly, I was planing on using a sub-frame that
would fit a longitude engine. |

This is the last photo I have of my Fiero chassis. It is
in the JLS Motorsprorts shop, I delivered it to Lance to remove all the
front end suspension parts off of this chassis and install them to my
new tubular chassis.

TIP
- Fiero Strip down:
Make some
money off your parts, instead of trashing these parts to the dumps. If you
strip off anything that you don't need, such as all the body fenders, hood,
lights, seats, interior lights, radio… anything are not going to use
and sell over e-bay. Take pictures and give good information on what they
are, and you should get a nice return back on these Fiero parts. |

One of the biggest pieces of advice that I can
give you... don't throw away ANYTHING! You will need a lot of the piece
from the door, even small things like the brake line frame clips.
In this photo I am close to finishing the front
end these are my cuts so far. |
 |
| I cut off the rear end of the
car, but still have some trimming to do to get everything set up right.
I used my hoist to hold up the back while I cut. |

I made my own dolly that doubles as the jig once I get it exact and level.
I then will mount the body. |

| A straight and solid chassis can be built right in your backyard as I'm
doing, level everything front to back and side to side. |
