Also, the goose neck on the water pump seems to be pointing the wrong way. Is that part of the new mods too?
Hmmmm... I suppose switching the direction of the air intake would leave a lot more space for "plumbing" of some sort (ie: Turbo, SC, etc...) We may be getting closer to something here. Archie- keep 'em coming!
BTW: Archie- did you get my last e-mail and/or PM abou the display? I sent to to both.

hmmm... i hink archie shoulddo this to this car. i think that there should be a button on the shifter and when you press it, a valve in the exhaust should open completely bypassinf the catalytic converters and mufflers and go strait out for a much louder sound, and when you press the button again the valv would close off and it would become quiet again. The late 60's early 70's GTO's had this as an option
Yeah, for $20 you can buy a Y-Pipe cutout from JCWhitney and have anyone with a welder splice it into the exhaust route... simple & cheap. It's controlled by a "butterfly" connected via a cable to a pull-handle
Damn, that'd be so loud!

Archie Just to give you an idea what a yellow notch back looks like at a World of Wheels show ------------------------------ Some lead and others follow. Have to say - yours is looking good (for a V8)

Yes, but then all of the other Fiero loving folks up here wouldn't get a chance to see the magnificant creature Archie is creating.

I'm sure Archie will agree with me- These 3 day shows away from home tend to get rather pricey with hotels, meals and the like, very easy to hit the $500+ mark. Just an example I went to the Boston WOW show- $50- entry $81/night- hotel $12/day- parking(exibitors had to pay for parking their regular car) $50/day- Food for the wife and me (concession and resturants)

I think Phil's car is a Vette Yellow, mine is Ferrari Yellow.
Even though Phil appears to be the 1st. person to ever show a Yellow Fiero, I can tell you for sure he won't be the last.
The only similarity between Phil's car and mine is that they are both coupes and they are both Yellow. I can assure you that I didn't choose Yellow just because Phil had Yellow and I can assure you that when they are sitting near each other at a show you will not mistake one for the other.

Yeah, I saw it..... to be honest it requires way too much reading on my part... we need to talk on the phone to figure out what we need.
BTW, I'm glad that I thought to set the intake manifold on there backward to see if anyone was paying attention. & You'll notice that it took an LT1 owner to notice it.

Did the name "Rumble Bee" come up for a name??? Archie I might have too not log on anymore....I CAN"T TAKE IT !! Give 1 little secret!!! P-P-P-P-PLEASE!!!!

I think even this may be a distractionary tactic! But as I said before... that's OK with me- 'cause that means something awsome is in the works!

I took a bunch of pics today to show you all..... then I left the stupid camera and case at the shop.
Today we continued with the engine connections, hooking up the cooling system and some of the electrical system.
Also put together the new Mr. Mike's sport seats. Mr. Mike is releasing a NEW style of Fiero seat and we are putting the FIRST set into this car. I'll post some pics. and tell you all about it tomorrow.
Looks like we are going to complete the car in time to make the show just fine. As it goes right now, I'll be installing the windows tomorrow, we will fire the engine up for the 1st time Monday. Then after sompleting the body assembly and interior wiring we hope to test drive the car by Wednesday. Then we will have a week left to assemble all the details and interior.
Edited because Archie can't spell tonight and because I do have one pic of the seats.... a before and after pic.
Archie
