I had a blast there. I counted 19 cars there. Tina came at 8:30 and I took pics of her car. I am getting most of my pictures developed tomorrow, and if you went, chances are your car will be in there. Apologies to any car I missed.
Tcat, I loved your Super Bee. I have at least three pics of that. Rob and Chris I have a bunch of pictures of your cars too.
P.S., who had the car with the tach mounted upside-downish, so it looked like a "normal" tach? It was stuck at 2,000 RPM.
I wish I was there but I got stuck working....... GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR I had requested it off like a month ago, and got it signed by a manager...........GRRRRRRRRRRRRR
I saw some your cars at the perkins parking lot, I was cruising up and down university with my friend in his 64 Studebaker. I was going to stop and say hi, but the cops were being dicks. "Get off the road you cant park here", then you go to a lot and parking security comes a long and says "you can be anywhere with your car except the parking lots, go and park on the street". I mean come on guys... do they have nothing else to do? Anyways I was planning on meeting you guys at the MOA, but the body shop didnt start my car untill friday. Im getting it back this week for sure, so maybe next time I will bring it by.

My wife and I had a great time. The only downside of the entire day was the food at Perkin's. Next time I'll go with the Arby's crowd.
For those that didn't make it to Porky's with Tina, her car was a BIG hit. When she popped the decklid the Fiero people had to move back to make room because everybody wanted to see it. It's nice to see a Fiero get that kind of attention from a non-Fiero crowd.

As you can tell by the above posts, we had a massive turn out. I had an awesome time, and have the pictures to prove it...
MinnGreenGT's car in his parking lot. Notice the JLExtractor hood vent from Rockcrawl? AusFiero's Stage 2 side scoops. The door molding is not installed yet, but you get the idea. The Mustang style Decklid vent is installed, and looks NICE! Notice the beneath the spoiler view? AWESOME.
And here is the man himself, sadistically smiling at me as he holds his favorite instrument of cooking.
WipeOut, can't wait til you get your car going and can come cruise with us.

And I have a TON of pics of Tina's awesome ride. Went to her house today and had the opportunity for a private photo shoot at the local park. Keep it clean guys, it was her car that was topless, not her.

we need to do that again sometime soon when i can actually stick around. my friend informed me monday that he was coming up this weekend and i would have stayed longer, but he kept asking when we were leaving. it would be really nice to be able to stick around next time. i was also hoping someone had gotten a couple pics of my new wheels, as i don't have a camera of any sort right now...

well, i guess i wont be painting my series I 3800 85 GT black and grey like i was planning, since there is already one here in MN. time to start thinking about paint colors again
i wish my fiero was done, but i have to sort through some wires still. and install the GT gauges. mine will be a little differant than the one above, my ECM is mounted in the trunk for starters, easier to change the PROM chip if i want. also easier to install a nice speaker in the center console
those are all nice cars btw. i wish mine looked like those. i like the black 85 GT the most

Hey Wipeout, nice meeting ya.. Was great seeing everyone. Sorry I didn't have mine there but at least I got the Bee down there. Worked on mine yesterday and I'm pretty close now. First time getting to see Tina's car in person, sorry if I drooled on it. And by the way guys, pouring the anti-freeze under Kevins car was a mean prank BUT MAN IT WAS FUNNY!!!!!! Guess I know what to watch out for now.
Great weekend in all, lets do it again...

Kev is holding a permanent grudge against me for that one, only because I poured it LOL...
Blame it on yellow86 and fierohoho for the idea and the "persuasion" if you can call being told repeatedly to do it persuausion
Anyways, it WAS funny, and kinda glad Kev did not have an aneurism there. Now, if someone had done that to Tina's nice shiny car, all hell woulda broke loose!
Speaking of Tina, I have some photos of her car, one of em is HUGE, but it is set to high quality as well.... I won't post the large version, will shrink it down some.
I realize this thread may use a lot of bandwidth cause of the number of photos, but I do not have a separate server to post the photos on, if anyone does, please lemme know..
This one is also available in a 1024x768 version. Notice the License Plate? Yes, that IS a 383 Stroker you see. See the anodized piece on the right? Guess what that is. *Hint* Now you see me, now you don't. Absolutely awesome custom guage panels. The interior was almost COMPLETELY rewired to make them work.

Well, it was good to see everyone again- and to meet the new guys (or at least those I haven't met in person). We had wonderful weather, and an unbelievable turnout. Anyway, here are some of my pics...
TCat's Superbee "rebody" (nice wheels, huh?)
Ron has apparantly gotten some crap for his use of a heat register for his front vent. We decided to jump on the teasing bandwagon and guess that his next project will be a decklid vent (supplied by Fleet Farm) to help expel heat from his engine compartment
Now to the "normal" stuff: This was Chris (Synthesis) taking out some of his interior to work on
With Adam (Wipeout) checking out Sythesis's interior as well.
This is Shawn's (Sean? Shaun? ...? not a PFF member) Burgundy GT. He just recently had the wheels refinished at Precision Wheel Service (same place mine were done). Looks sweet! BTW Has anyone talked to him since Saturday? He was pulled over by a cop while we were leaving the Arby's parking lot- and I've got too many "questionable" mods on my car, otherwise I'd have pulled into the lot to see what was up!
Jimmy's GT is very photogenic... and all the ladies really liked it (for the color, the guys all liked it for the V8 )
Now for those who know KEV, you'll enjoy the little prank. Someone (I honestly don't know who) splashed some coolant on the ground next to Kevin's car... so we could watch him get all worried about his car (which has been known to be trouble for him in the past).
I love the "head scratching" in this pic!
I think this was everyone there (including GT Geff's silver Grand Prix, TCat's SuperBee, and Jaei Sun's Baretta
And finally, a shot of Tina and her Silver V8 coupe "preaching" to the crowd at Porkey's!

Hmmm, the Fiero rims don't look to bad on my Bee. To bad they are not inter-changeable. You did a good job on the picture and I love the Attic vent on Yellow's.. I wonder if it would sound like a blower going down the road.... lol!

I don't know about you guys but I think Tina has to much money and time on her hands. Dam thats a nice car.... Well done Tina! Hope your tranny holds, I would like to see that thing go.. If mine doesn't hold up will Eric put one in for me? I'm tired of working on it... Hey, maybe I should talk to him, he's looking for a Mopar for his motor correct? Well, have I got a deal for him...

Remember we are looking for people to bring their Fieros to the Wabasha Fair on Saturday. For those who don't already know MFF was invited to showcase the car show so we need to represent! Its free and should be a fun time. Right now we have about 9 of us going for sure but we would love to have double that at least!
GtGeff, sorry I wasn't at the meeting. I forgot that I had to work tonight. doh- Sending you a PM about the parts.

Rob, you might ask Kevin about Joleene Duff, and the rubber bird crap at the Dells a few years ago...
