| hey Batiman, are you going to post your build here. Eventually I'd love to build a stretched countach. I got to ride in a real one about a year ago. Its on one of my youtube videos it was scary fast. I'm having a lot of fun building these Murcielagos. Looks like I might have Batman4reals out to my house next tuesday. He wanted to learn some more about fiberglassing. Plus I do appreciate his help. I'll post some pics. TToo bad Shaggy can't be here it be like old times....dave

| Yeah Batiman when the weather gets hot that resin sets uo suoerfast. Been busy busy at work but still managing to put a few hours in here and there. Here's a pic of the eventual power plant. This one is a 3800 v-6 fuel injected supercharged engine from a 1999 Buick Riviera 50,000 docuemented miles. The second motor is the same from a 2001 Grand Prix with 120,000 miles.

| Because I am building one for me and one for my business partner. And we didn't want to argue about who got what engine we decided to have them both rebuilt by a local race shop. These engines are a little tame in the oem stage but we hope to wake them up. As we took the engines in we found the 2001 had cracks in both the heads at a pretty common place. So we decided to upgrade to these new aftermarket heads that have those areas built up.

| We chose the 3800 because it was one of the easiest swaps for the 88 Fiero. The engine literally bolts up to the Muncie 5 speed. The transmission and trans axles will be rebuilt as I want to also upgrade them in the process.

| this is the murcielago rear deck lid. in the first models they were louvers like this. in my case i will remove the louvers and replace them with glass like the LP-640s. the piece where there is a seam will be cut to form the side batwings. yep thats what they call them
