Looks like a full house to me.....Maybe you should sell that yellow thing When would be a good time to bring the GBCT up for some work?????? What cars are you taking to the WOW show ?
Gee Archie, I was thinking of another project, but I don't think you have any room left. I guess I have to wait till spring or summer, until you get caught up and make some room. I will let you know about the new project just as soon as I do a little more research, or you have some room.
If you are tight on space, you can park the Stinger next to my GT! I wouldn't even charge you for the space in my garage. (Sorry, just couldn't resist some pathetic begging.) Jeff

Can't sell the Yellow Stinger until I've built it's replacement.
I could work on the GBCT next May, but You'd need to drop it off in January so I can test drive it for a few months.
Seriously, give me a call and, depending on what you need, we can work it in during the next 2 months.

Boy, nothing gets by you guys does it? You guys find everything in those pictures don't you?
I built, drove & sold my V-8 powered Z car a long time ago before I ever did a V-8 Fiero. On the dash thing, lets just say that everything I have in that shop is Fiero related.

Yes it is, just finishing it up for a guy in CA. It's a real nice GT, he is going to do the paint etc. after he picks it up Jan. 6th. He monitors this Forum but hasn't joined yet. You guys ought to talk him into joining up. Come on Curley, join us!

Archie, Are you going to build another Fiero this year like you did lastyear with the "Stinger"?
Not this year.... when you build a car like that you never want to get rid of it. And to build another one without selling the 1st one gets way too expen$ive.
Besides the Stinger isn't quite done yet. I've got several new things to do to it in Feb.

Thank You. I'm not really trying to sell the PPE right now. I want to hang onto it until Spring, so I can take it to the drag strip to see what it actually can do. Then I'll get serious about selling it.

The only thing else that happened today that I can report on is that the NIFE WOW Show Fiero Chassis was worked on by the NIFE Board.
Here it is so far.....
Clockwose from the top.... Lady Pegasas, Pegasas, PaulV (Membership Director), Jim Hallman (President of NIFE), Rich Benanti (NIFE VP) & That's Carl "Haze" over there by the driver's door.
I hope this is entertaining.

Sounds like a Conundrum to me. Looks like you'll be holding on to the Stinger for a while. I need to get one of my cars up to your shop soon. You do awesome work.

sweet, i was just gonna ask what color did you decide to paint the Fino. That color looks awsome, especially with the silver taillight surround. Now it needs a 4th gen firebird dash!

Archie, Are there any mods required to the windshield wipers on a chop top or do you just use a lot of rain-x? Thanks!
The wipers don't need to be modified.
Rain-x doesn't work so well on a chop top because the windshield is at such a low angle that, when sitting still, rain that hits the windshield runs up and over the roof.

Archie, Thanks for the response and a chuckle! I'm very much interested in having you do a chop top/v8 conversion on my 88 - but - first have to liquefy another asset (70 SS454 LS7 Chevelle) to fund the Fiero madness!

The WoW car is a display car that will be in the 41st annual World oF Wheels Show in Chicago. We will finally show that the car is not just fiberglass and plastic. IT is a full running chasis and is being painted with PR15 to give it the gloss new car look. here are a few pictures.

I wish they would cut a Fiero body right down the center. Then mount it on that car. I think that would be impressive, maybe next year. All in all its coming a long great.

Another LT1 Fiero is ready to Rock. This one will be on it's way to FL tomorrow. After the owner puts a few finishing touches on it, you'll see it at The Daytona Show.

And another LT1 with the intake plenum reversed. So, how much extra do you charge to do that?

Are those custom scoops on the Silver Choptop? Or are they Aus's Stage 2? I can't really tell with the lower trim attached like that, but they kind of have the shape/style of the Stage2 kit...?
It looks sweet!
(hehe... "only" a N* I get a kick out of that line )
My good lord is that silver GT ever beautiful!!! Please tell me the owner is going to repaint it silver as it looks kick a$$ as the current color. BTW, what year is the car? I can't really tell from the pics whether or not it has the two tone silver as on the the 86-87's or the single tone as on the 88's. Give my compliments to Curls!

I was just looking at that thinking the same thing. I was about to email Aus, and see if you can keep your normal trim like that with his scoops, and if so, what the cost will be without them. I guess I will just wait and see what Archie has to say about it.
