The instruction video says that 1984 Fiero's do not have this slot to
put the door panel, but my '84 does seem to have it. But the pannel doesnt
actually go into this slot, because i need the door up higher to fit right.

To install the door panel, first put the underside below the door frame,
then pull up on the top lip to put it in the slot. I used C Clamps to hold
it in place while I marked the part to cut on
the underside of the door.

I got these tools from Home Depot to cut and sand the fiberglass using
just my drill.

Drill holes in the triangle to mount it on the Fiero, and get some
large washers for the body to sit on.

Winter arrived and the doors still werent on right, so the Fiero had to find
a place in the garage.

The goal became to get the rear, doors and front on the car so that they looked
right with as few cuts to the fiberglass as possible. It isnt that hard to prop
up the doors with jacks. You may have to drill holes for bolts in the triangle
stands that support the rear.

The gap between the door and the rear is what is most important.

The rear clip needed to sit lower on the car so that it would
line up with the door, so i cut some notches in where it sits on the roof.
When you open the door you can see it is now following the contours of the
sheet metal.

I had to raise up the rear end to make the gap between the doors and the rear
straight.

When you take the key hole off the Fiero door, push it from the outside so it
doesnt come apart and have springs fly everywhere.

I've seen some nice side mirrors with blinkers that i'ld like to use.
They were on a Mercedes. What other cars have them?
