SHIPPING
-IT IS EASY TO SHIP THIS MERCY-1 BODY-KIT TO ANY ADDRESS IN THE WORLD.
SIMPLY GO TO FREIGHTQUOTE.COM OR CALL DEXTER AT 1-800-323-5441 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting 1-800-323-5441 end_of_the_skype_highlighting EXT. 1214 AND GIVE HIM OUR ADDRESS AND YOUR ADDRESS AND TELL HIM YOU NEED A QUOTE TO SHIP ONE FIBERGLASS, CAR-BODY KIT THAT IS IN A WOODEN CRATE THAT IS 181 INCHES LONG BY 87 INCHES WIDE BY 45 INCHES HIGH AND THE CRATE WEIGHS 400 POUNDS. OR YOU CAN PUT THE BODY-KIT IN A TRAILER AND HAUL IT TO YOUR ADDRESS.
You will save money by having anything shipped in one crate that is as small a crate as possible.
Here are the three choices to ship the Mercy 1 Kit:
1. Shipped in two crates: We cut through the long, rocker-panel area on each side of the Mercy 1 Kit, in order to make the kit fit into two, smaller crates. We cut straight across the passenger compartment, which is through the rocker panels. You can easily repair the two, cut, rocker-panel pieces when the kit arrives at your address with some fiberglass and resin. The front-clip, door-panels, hood and trunk parts will fit in a 3' tall x 7' wide x 8' long crate weighing 200 pounds, plus a second crate which is the rear-clip section which will fit in a 3' tall x 7' wide x 7' long crate weighing 200 pounds.
Note: Shippers charge more when you ship in two crates instead of only one crate.
2. Shipped in one big crate: the front-clip and rear-clip are made together as one, complete, body-kit. All other body panels along with the complete, body-kit will be placed in one big 3' tall x 7' wide x 15' long crate weighing 400 pounds.
Note: Some shippers may charge more for a crate this long or not be able to ship it at all.
Note: you can get a quote for shipping the mercy 1 kit in a big crate or a medium crate or in two crates or with a pickup truck and trailer and decide how you want the mercy 1 kit shipped.
Note: if you are shipping within the continental United States, Mexico or Canada you may want to pay someone with a pickup truck and trailer to haul the kit for you. You will then not need to have the kit crated in a sealed crate. You will only need the 2x4-framed crate with no plywood attached.
Note: most shipping companies that ship cars and trucks will ship this size crate at the same price as an extended-cab, pickup truck.
Note: if you are shipping this kit over seas you can request a 20-foot shipping container and it will not matter that the crate is 15' long.? The shipping company can bring the 20' shipping container to our office and we will load the 15' crate into the 20' shipping container.
3. Shipped in one medium sized crate: this is the cheapest way to ship the ash-mart kit. We cut through the long, side-quarter panel pieces at the small rocker panel area, in order to make the kit fit into a smaller crate. You can easily repair the two, cut, rocker-panel pieces when the kit arrives at your address with some fiberglass and resin. The front-clip, side-quarter panels and all other body panels will then fit into one medium sized crate that is a 3' x 7' x 7' crate weighing 350 pounds. Call Misty at 1-800-323-5441 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting 1-800-323-5441 end_of_the_skype_highlighting extension 1779 for a shipping quote. You will need to give her our address and your address and the size and weight of the crate and tell her the contents are fiberglass vehicle parts. She will give you the cheapest shipping quote i have found. I know she can ship this kit to London for under $700.00. MISTY WORKS FOR THE FREIGHT QUOTE COMPANY AND THEIR WEBSITE IS WWW.FREIGHTQUOTE.COM.
You will need the following to complete your DEE-LOW kit:
- Donor vehicle or chassis: Any 1984 - 1988 Pontiac Fiero
- Front windshield: 1994 Honda Accord 4 door. You would take this windshield to a glass shop along with a tracing of the windshield opening of your kit and the glass shop would cut and grind it into the correct shape for your kit.
- Headlights: 1990-1996 Nissan 300 ZX
- Taillights: 1984-1990 Chevrolet Corvette C4
- Front 6.0 turn signals: Lamborghini OEM or 1987-96 Chevrolet Corsica
- Indicator lights: Lamborghini OEM
- Fog lights: Chevrolet Camaro
- Door windows, rear quarter windows and rear windshield: Plexiglas is recommended for the doors, rear quarter windows (behind the doors) and the rear windshield. Some customers are experimenting with creating operational door windows. If this is something you would like, you will most likely be able to accomplish it. You will need to custom fabricate your own design. Example The beauty of building your own car is that you can make it exactly how you want, however, our doors are set up for non-operational windows.
- Door locks: From 1973-1980 Mercedes.
- Gas springs for Doors: Length = 19.4" Lift pressure = 120 lbs.
- Gas spring for trunk: Length = 26.6" Lift pressure = 85.8 lbs.
- Hinges for the hood and trunk: Will be recycled from your donor Fiero.
- Hinges for the doors: These need to be specially made at a machine shop and are essentially cylinders that are 5" long and 1" wide. You would weld one end of the cylinder to the arm of your door and the other side to a flat bolt plate which you would then bolt to the interior of your door jam. (Check our link for hinges manufactured)
- Door Mirrors: 1986 - 1993 Hyundai Excel (replicas optional)
- Rims and tires of your choice.
Pontiac Fiero Chassis - Fiero Stretch:
Pontiac Fiero Chassis - Fiero Stretch Lengthen A Fiero Donor Like A Pro.
First the Fiero was stripped of all nonessential items, such as the running gear, rear suspension, rear brakes, body panels, interior, and bumpers. The frame was bolted to the table with metal jigs fabricated by Terry Fisher. The jigs kept the frame from moving as it was cut apart and welded. The adjustable legs on the table allow it to be precisely leveled to keep everything square. The frame was checked to make sure it was square. Note: This is also how racing cars are built.
The frame was cut, and the back of the car was removed. New rear frame-rails were added at this point. The extended rails will be butt-welded togeth-er with a MIG welder and plated over with steel for strength. The cut (note arrows) was made before the frame starts tapering to simplify fabrication. Note that a level was used to make sure everything was square.
Temporary bracing was tack-welded across the cockpit and doors to keep the pan square after the roof is removed. Once the roof is removed, the chassis will warp, and it will be very difficult to get it aligned again. The roof will be removed with a Sawzall.
The back half of the car was re-moved. Beams were welded in the door frames to preserve rigidity. The doorjambs were cut off. The Fiero structure requires a lot of cutting to allow the Diablo shape to fit over it.
A new rear sub-frame was fabricated from 2x3-inch mild steel (0.120 wall). This subframe accepts stock Fiero suspension; up-rated parts may be substituted. The top mount picked up from the stock Fiero location. The subframe required many hours of fabrication and runs around the original firewall to increase the strength
The extra crossmember ahead of the cradle adds strength to the lengthened chassis. Note how the cradle was reinforced.
A diagonal brace connects the rear shock tower to the brace below the door area. These were tack-welded in place while everything was checked for alignment. The body subframe was fabricated to mount up to the body and be bonded in. It locates and strengthens the body. It was made to bolt on and off for maintenance or repair.
Posts were welded to the top of the frame. The body subframe posts slip over these and were bolted in place. Once the top was removed, a lot of stiffness needed to be added. Here we see 2x3-inch bracing and framing that was added to strengthen the front of the cockpit area. These braces are not in the entry area of the body.
Always trial-fit any additional tubing with the body on before final welding.
While preparing the frame for the D&R body, a lot of stock Fiero metal had to be removed. In order to clean it up and close the gaps, new metal was welded into the firewall area. You may need to do similar filling in other areas depending on which body you have.
11The A-arms had to be widened 2 inches per side to match the track of the original car. Other kits may need more or less widening, and other alternatives use fully fabricated suspension arms or specially made offset wheels. This side view of the frame shows the extensive bracing added and the truncated frontend.
The front of the Fiero subframe was trimmed back and capped for a professional appearance and more strength. The body was installed on the chassis and bonded to the top subframe with fiberglass. The subframe will be bolted to the chassis, and the body is bolted on with rubber isolators. The Northstar was installed in the rear cradle. Once the steps are complete, you wind up with a car such as the one in our lead photo.
When manufacturers in the kit car industry started cranking out Lamborghini and Ferrari replicas based on the Fiero platform, designers knew the chassis needed a stretch to achieve a more accurate look. The Fiero wheelbase is 93.4 inches, while a Lambo Countach is 96.5 inches, a Diablo is 104.3 inches, and a Ferrari Testarossa is 100.4 inches.
Although building on a standard-length Fiero chassis is much cheaper, many builders will not settle for the shortened look. There are many ways to lengthen the chassis, ranging from professional to suicidal, and we’ve seen ’em all.
The hardest part of the job is making sure everything gets lined up straight again when the car is complete. You will also usually need to widen the chassis or suspension to more closely match the track of the original.
Another problem is keeping the chassis square when the top is cut off (necessary with most Lambo kits). The standard Fiero relies on the top for much of its rigidity, so when the top is removed, the chassis will warp out of alignment if it is not firmly bolted to a rigid, steel chassis table. If you us the standard four-banger or 2.8L V-6, you might not notice misalignment as readily as you would with a fire-breathing turbo or a V-8 swap, but it will probably not track straight, and braking and tire wear could be adversely affected.
When we got a call from John Austin at Austin Conversions, we were excited to hear he was planning to stretch a Fiero 11 inches before installing one of his Design One Northstar swaps. Austin and partner Kevin Leslie have been making these installations for several years now, and they really turn the mild-mannered Fiero into a serious Corvette basher.
Austin installed a D&R Diablo kit on an ’84 base model Fiero for customer Phil Craine. He recruited Terry Fisher, who normally fills his time building NASCAR trucks and selling heavy-duty fasteners, to help with the fabrication.
Fisher has a professional chassis surface table in his spa-cious shop, just what was needed to keep the Fiero square while it was being dissected. A chassis table is constructed of thick steel to provide a perfectly level surface on which to attach a chassis so you can accurately measure and align all the components. It is also heavy enough to not be affected by changes in temperature or weather, which temporary wooden jigs can be. Working on an uneven shop floor or with flimsy wooden jigs is a recipe for chassis gremlins.
The Diablo kit is one of the most difficult to stretch, as a great deal of the original Fiero chassis must be cut away for body clearance, including quite a bit of the firewall. This means Austin and Fisher had to back-half the chassis and make an entirely new rear subframe from scratch. Some kits, such as Ferrari Testarossa and F355 replicas, do not require as much cutting and can be stretched more easily, requiring only lengthening of the chassis with extensions.
After all the stretch work, the resulting car will run like a thoroughbred and be better reinforced should the worst occur. Here’s how this stretch was done.
Glass:
For the side quarter glass windows and back glass, you use clear plexiglass or have a glass shop cut the flat glass.
For the door glass you use 1996 Chrysler 2 door Sebring door glass.
If you decide to make your door glass stationary we're told the best glass to use is a 2000 Saturn Coupe door glass.
Some people have used a 1996 rear Nissan Maxima door track and window motor with a 00-01' Daewoo Leganza 2 door coupe door glass.
Some people have also used rear window regulators from an Infiniti J30 to make the window glass go up and down and they have bought door glasses from AGP Glass Company in Knoxville, TN.To order the door glass from AGP you can see their contact information below, and when you place the order you ask for 2001 Diablo Roadster factory door glass number 59 and 60.
For the front windshield you use a 1996 Nissan Maxima windshield.
1. Windshield: For the DEE-LOW kit you use a 1994-1997 Honda Accord 4dr. windshield
and you will have to cut off the bottom corners of the glass with a glass cutter to make the glass fit the kit or buy Diablo glass from AGP in Knoxville.
2. Donor Car: This kit is designed to go on a 1994-1988 Pontiac Fiero and you will have to stretch the floor pan 10.5" or you can use a MR-2 or Boxster.
3. The DEE-LOW body-kit that you will receive is like the black, kit-car
photographed on this web-page.
The DEE-LOW body-kit is the Roadster version which; for this type body-kit,
means that the top is removable.
The DEE-LOW body-kit you will receive includes the exterior, fiberglass
body-shell and parts along with the interior kit.
The DEE-LOW body-kit is the best version made on the world, which is the
D&R version and not the I.F.G. version.
This version body-kit has sold many times in the past for $9,500.00 but now is only $3,995.00.
