This is the portion of the the Fiero frame which had to be cut away to allow the Pantera light buckets to swing down into the closed position.

wish this pic had better contrast. I was trying to show how it looks with front corner cut away for clearance -

just a couple pix to show how the car looks over-all, as the other pix were taken inside my rather dark garage workshop.

To learn about the kit, please visit Pennock's Fiero Forum ( just google it ) then find section called construction zone. Then locate thread titled "pantera parts". The author of the thread owns the company that makes the kit. Price is very reasonable, and quality is very very good !!! Cheers !

By the way - All lights, and the Wheels are from a real Pantera ! And when I rework the dashboard, I have all of the original Pantera Gauges to populate the instrument pod.
