Archie,
Nice job on lowering the seat...I think that may be the #5 thing never before done ??

Anyhow, can you fill us in? When you cut thru the floorpan rails, did you weld in a reinforcement?

A simple 1/8" flat plate on the underside comes to mind.

I'm really happy with the way this car turned out.

And what would this be..... my first "Best of Class" award.

Congrats Archie!! VERY nice job.

Awesome Archie! I'm sure it feels good, and you DEFINITELY deserve it. Considering how many times your kit has helped somebody else to get best of class, it's about time one came your way.

Congrats

...I'm sure to be followed by many more, and several "Best Of Show" awards as well.

...Especially if you keep bringing those new board members around, LOL!

By the looks of the new board of directors,
don't think NIFE is going to have any problems attracting more Male
members.

BTW Congratulations to you Archie,
well deserved.

BOOO!!! Arch, I can't believe you did that. How could you DISGRACE the club with them cottage cheese hoochies?!?! I'm sorry to all the guys, saw them up close...and it ain't pretty. They're all dried up and dark as leather...they're butts have saddle bags...you'd have to chisle the make-up off with a jack-hammer. GROSS! And believe me, I am FAR from jealous. I could just as easily get my ghetto booty up there, but you see, I have something they don't.....CLASS! Archie.....tsk tsk.

------------------

Hey pretty....don't you wanna take a ride with me...through my world?

Lady Pegasus, I'm sure you'll understand if the male members of PFF don't take your word on that.

Archie, Congrats on the "Best In Class" Award!!!

------------------

Congratulations, that is a prestigious award to be winning (I don't know if it is that fair though, cometing against all your own cars!!)

hey lady pegasus, look at it a different way...if these guys each had a woman that fake, they'd be forever p!ssed off and jealous because other guyz are hitting on her...this way, they're just looking and they're happy....just smile and nod.

I guess you need to back that up by showing us a comparison. Dress in a similar (or less) bathing suite so we can see for ourselves

Can't tell much from this pic

Outstanding!, Archie. The stinger shows the result of many years of experience and hard work. I think you should have your signiture embossed on the dash.

Nice job archie. One show, one prize, lot more to come! Can't wait to see it in Michigan this summer. Hmmmmm maybe I should see about going down to carlisle if the woman and my finances let me. Think a few members of the GTA Club will be going.

How hard to do the suicide doors? Love to have them on my GT.

I noticed the saddle bags, I feel terrible about what I did.

For some reason, I knew taking this picture would come in handy.

I hope you *do* bring the Stinger to the swap meet in April.
I'd like to see it, and shake the hand of "da' man".

Lady Pegasus? We're waiting.

Saddlebags and all, I'll take em. LOL

Congratulations on your win Archie. Great looking car, and I can't wait to see it in person.

Congratulations Archie.
With a nice ride like the LT1 Stinger you should be able to get all the saddle bags you want. LOL Now where have I heard that before?

Stupendous job Archie! Will the car be available for an appearance in Calif.? A world tour would be appropriate and welcomed. I also would like to know about the seat lowereing job. How is it done? Also, what tranny was used?

Archie, I think your automotive talents are above approach, but I also think you have an yet to be discovered knack for photography. Great close-up of the other attractions to the WOW show. Is that why they call it the WOW show?

quote Originally posted by kevin: Stupendous job Archie! Will the car be available for an appearance in Calif.? A world tour would be appropriate and welcomed. I also would like to know about the seat lowering job. How is it done? Also, what tranny was used?

Well we used a Getrag transmission on this car.

I would love to do a "world tour" I've thought of it several times but just don't have the time to do it like I would like to do.

As it is right now, there really isn't any Fiero shows out there big enough to make the trip worth while.

These are the pics I took of the seat lowering.

First we heated and "flattened out" the seat rails. Sorry, I didn't take any seat rail pics before we flattened them. In the front we flattened them out and are using the original holes, in the rear using the original holes would have put them in a bad place on the floorboards. So we cut off the excess and drilled a couple of new holes.

The stock Fiero floor ribs look like this. The original seat rails bolted down to the 4 studs (circled)

Here is the pic of the ribs trimmed and holes drilled for the modified seat rails. Due to flattening the rails, we drilled the front holes 1" in front of where the studs WERE mounted. Then we bolted the seat in and aligned it and marked the rear holes to be drilled.

We also welded some plates to the bottom of the floorboards (in the areas where the seats hold down bolts would be) to replace any strength that may have been lost by the rib removal.

I'm here to tell you that this makes a world of difference...... one of the guys that works for me is 6'4" and he can actually sit in there and drive it without breaking his neck.

Hope this answers your questions.

Archie

If you had checked out my original sig test, you would have seen that I am clothed. Also, for those of you who would like more proof (no swim suit shots for me) you can also go check out my old sig test topic (in off topic) for the whole shot. And that's ALL that you're gonna get. (Unless, of course, you come to the Dells)

I can attest that the Lady is cute (& married).

I'd like to move off this topic.

Lady, I think the reference was not to the pic, which is very nice, but to the text as follows: "Hey pretty....don't you wanna take a ride with me...through my world?".

I'm sure that text is from some song or movie that I haven't heard or seen but it could give the wrong impression to those that don't know you or the referenced text.

Sorry to stray off topic.
As you can see in the hands of a skilled editor anything is possible

[This message has been edited by 84Bill (edited 02-05-2002).]

I have refrained from even having an opinion of your sig, until today...

The fact of the matter is the sig pic is intentionally "iffy" or borderline offensive. It was photoshopped to become more borderline than it was before.

The text BTW, is what put this over the top, IMHO.

I come in here to check on the Stinger while on a break in class, and nearly get nailed for "****".
Now, I'm not saying the sig is ****, per se, but I AM saying it was intended to "appear" more provocative than any others here. And the sheer volume in which you post it and your challenge to every other female who's pic is posted on this forum illustrates my point.

Archie has a point, this IS the internet...I suggest you consider using more tact, for your sake if not others', and PLEASE refrain from using your sig EVERY TIME YOU POST. It eats up bandwidth and makes it take forever to scroll through a topic.

Sorry, but you're obviously wanting opinions, and this is part of mine.
