Default Re: 1985 Pontiac Fiero GT / Indy

Thanks for the support! They don't tend to make kits of what i want to make. The first couple vehicles in this scale were targets of opportunity which tripped my "I can make that cool!"

Yep, a dead fiero either needs a flatbed, or pushed somewhere safe so you can bring tools and parts to it. Don't even wheel lift them, because good luck getting a dolly under it, it's not worth it.

A guy at work is trying to convince me that it's probably time to make a tandem-axle car hauler to put behind the dumptruck.

They took a little liberty with some angles on the body, but other than the A-pillar rake, it looks pretty good to me. It's clearly a GT Notchback with some bolt-ons, plus it's even molded in "Moving-Violation Red"!

Premptive hate: "Yo frizzen, that cars too small for this! Ain't scale. Yo, ain't scale man!"

Math time, this body is 1/14 to 1/14.5 scale.
Real one 160.3" long, 68.9" wide, 46.9" tall.
Toy one 11.325" long, 4.745" wide, 3.350" tall.

Yeah. in traffic the real one gets kinda sketchy being boxed in by trucks.

It's still scale, and i play fairly well with others, most of the time...
