Micro Projects Part I

1. Black Top Racing Stealth Wing Stands - this segment will discuss the installation of these wing stands. I was lucky enough to purchase one of only ten sets produced of these wing stands at the 35th Anniversary event back in 2018 from the now defunct Black Top Racing. These wing stands may come up for sale at some point if you are interested in purchasing a set in the future. During this meeting, I will walk through the process of installation and point out some of the issues I encountered in the preparation phase. I will also discuss some dress up ideas that help compliment the Stealth Wing upgrade. Overall, it is a very simple installation with no additional hardware or drilling of new holes in the rear decklid required. After the meeting I will be happy to send more detailed instructions if you would like to tackle a project such as this.

2. Fiero GT Taillight Restoration - Does the thought of taking sandpaper to your rare and expensive GT taillights make you cringe? It did for me too, but I had a few spare taillights with some significant scratches in the lens, but fortunately no delamination. In this Micro Projects meeting segment, I'll discuss the disassembly, cleaning and refinishing of the '86-'88 OEM Fiero GT taillights.

3. LED Interior Lighting - Having problems seeing your dashboard at nighttime due to the 1980s style light bulbs that were used in your 30+ year old Fiero? In my segment, I will explain and show (through pictures) how to brighten your dashboard lights by replacing them with LED bulbs. It is not as difficult as it may seem. I will also include information on other interior lighting replacements, as well as the sources I used for my project.

4. Gauge Needle Restoration - Quick question! What is the original color of the needles for the dashboard gauge clusters? Yellow? Orange? Most Fieros you see these days have yellow colored needles due to fading by the sun and age. The true original color of the needles is reflective orange. During my segment, you will learn how easy it is to restore the gauge needles on your dashboard to give it a fresh, new look.
