Well when Curley, (who lives in California) was in Chicago picking up #15 this is how he looked:

Not used to the cold weather apparently. So now in honor of the king of chop tops, we all do the Curley pose.

CAUGHT ON TAPE: Archie frezzing with hands inside pocket.

I learn from the best hehe. JScott is right, it seems that when I'm visiting Archie its usually in Dec-Jan.

Damn it looks like there is going to be a fall rush to get chopped ! I am told in addition to #18, potentially numbers #19 and #20 are already scheduled ??

Any truth to this Archie ?

Myself and at least one other person are still trying to get our cars freed up to get chopped.

Yes.

Archie

Archie

Sweeet keep those choppers coming. Any particular reason #17 is missing the quarter windows and rear lights ?

He has aquired some very nice expensive GT tail lights & he will be installing them. Remember this was a 85 Gt donor car, so he'll have to do some wiring mods to make the Gt tail lights work correctly. The 1/4 windows were fitted and packed inside the car. He didn't want them installed until after he has it painted.

BTW, I plan to answer the PM you sent me but the answer is going to take a bit of time to type. I'll try to get to it tomorrow.

Archie

OH MAN, I have always loved that car. If it is getting chopped, that would be so cool.

Watching all these cars get chopped, I'm getting chop top envy and I already have one , (or two) I only wish I had another car to chop!

I don't think Frank is getting a chop, because to put it mildly,....... there are some complications involved hehehe.

Frank testing out Curly's Chop top #15 at Daytona 2005 and finding a few clearance issues hehehe.

Frank owns the green dragon GT.

Racing seats are lower but by the time we lower the Fiero seats, your bottom is only 2.5" from the floor. So there is only so far you can go before lowering the floorboards.

Archie

Have you ever just mounted the seats to the car without adjusters?
My seat is all the way back, I was thinking why couldnt someone just bolt the seat right to the floor?

Archie more than likely will not bolt the seat directly to the floor, which has something to do with crash testing requirements using a “seat bracket.” Using individual bolts----bolted to the floor isn't strong enough to handle the g-forces during a crash causing the bolts to break loose through the floor. Using a seat bracket spreads the energy equally to all four bolts.

It appears that's not the only thing cooking

Rumor mill is been spinning out of control, or so I have heard from a reliable source.
One thing we can't figure out though ...
how come some "maintenance work" set it in motion, you would of thought me making a run to get the E.T. license, or just plain me in the suit
would of raised bigger question marks in the Fiero Community.

Anyways, thanks Archie.
Clutch works great. So far (Knock on wood here)
Rodneybooth ... glad you liked them.

Off to tinker on the car
Tina

Hmmm.... rumor mill? Might be from your last year’s extravaganza, hehe. You won the awards last year when you kept the VDC doors a secret. You never know what a girl may have under a flame retardant suit?

Tina already has a Getrag with the internals treated to Cyro job. She just wanted a new clutch in the car (which also required a fresh F/W). She & Greg had other things they wanted to do than put a clutch in the car, so they brought it to us.

If you read closely, one of the things Tina wanted to do, during the week we were working on her car, was to try to get approved to drive a drag car at < 10 seconds.

I wonder why She's doing that.

Archie

Archie

looks like suicide doors to me.

Um... yeah... riiiiight.

[dingbat voice] Oh, Archie! [/dingbat voice]

When complete, you'll be able to open these scoops from inside the car with just a flick of the wrist.

Archie

Your installing curtains?
