Now, to keep on topic...Archie, any new pics of the Dirty Rat?

[This message has been edited by litespd (edited 09-22-2003).]

Well, using Gridlocks interesting logic here, as that term has been probably also been used many times all over the internet you shouldn't really complain about it and should instead just let it slide

I agree with litespd, where are the latest pics of the Rat Arch??
Enquiring Fiero minds realy want to see

Is Archie's place now associated with hanger 54?

Sorry Chester, I got your name backwards;Correction.. where are the pics of Chester's car "the Dirty Rat"?

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

I too want to see pictures of "The Dirty Chester's" car "Rat."

I mean pictures of "Rat Chester's" car "The Dirty."

No No I mean pictures of "Chester's" Dirty car "The Rat."

Or is it pictures of Dirty "Chester's" car "The Rat."

Ok, How about we see some pictures of the car I wished were mine owned by the guy I am really jealous of.

ROFLMAO!

hmmm not a bashing thread eh?

quote Originally posted by Darth Fiero: BTW, I am not going to start an archie "bashing" thread because it would not be tasteful and I am above that. I saw archie talking more smack about the 3800s I am sorry but I have to raise the BS flag on him for that. I dared to disagree with archie and his a**-sucking followers that think he is a god As long as people like archie continue to spew BS out on the internet, I, and others like me will be there to check his erronious statements. Out of all the posts archie contributes, I see very little of them helping anybody but himself. Seems like that is all he cares about -- himself and the people he is taking money from.

EACH person will have thier own opinion on which engine is best, and why, but it all comes down to personal preference, Sure id like to have a v8 in one of my fiero's and id like to have a 3800 series II supercharged, AND id like to have a 3.4L TDC
None of my cars have them in though, its not that one engine is better than the other, its just i have no $$ right now for a swap, Archie doesnt force people to put v8's in there cars, people take the time to look to see what engine THEY want and THEY pay archie to put it in, and if they dont wanna pay archie to put it in then they buy a kit and do it themselves with no guns pointed at them or anything, ACE and West coast fiero also sell fiero engine swap kits as well, They are not active members of this forum so no one bashes them for posting pictures of thier cars, When was the last time you seen a shop do a 3800 s/c install and post pictures of customers cars? its sure been a while for me. Ed parks does a GREAT job at the 4.9L installs, but do you see archie talking smack about them?

its not that archie is a fiero god or anything, cause im sure he doesnt see himself as one, He is just a man like the rest of us who seen that people wanted more power, (as did he) and found a way to do that and make a living off of it, Wouldnt you if you could? Archie supplies a Great product at a price people are willing to pay, in return he gets food on his plate and a couple demo cars to show off. Are you going to take the mans food away?

Evidently he does a good job at it because his garage looks pretty full, When the v8 installs slow down to the point that he cannot make the business keep going then im sure he will then look into other fiero options, but it sure looks like he is doing good right now.

ok im done ranting, BTW ive got rhree fiero's hopefully one day one will have a v8 in it (85GT 4 speed) one will have a 3800 series II supercharged (85GT automatic) and one will have a 3.4L TDC (87GT 5 speed)

for now ill be happy with whats in them.

This thread started on 12-28-02, that was less than 2 months after you joined PFF. This thread has now gone some 250 posts and 7 pages.

You picked up on one line in one post and started your crying about it.

And you call other people "keyboard gorillas".

Archie

I think Archie just said "Shut the F**k up."

No pics?

Going Postal... isn't that where you decide to strive for quick, friendly, efficient customer service? It does at one Post Office near me... at the one on the other side of town it's the antonym.

Hey Archie,

Chop top junkie here,.....needs pictorial fix!!

quote Originally posted by John Boelte: I think Archie just said "Shut the F**k up."

Well it looks like we've got our Highjacked thread back.

I also have my new home PC back from repairs and I have PIP pointed in the right direction.

Looks like I'll have to take some more pics.

If there's no more interruptions, I'll post some What's Up At Archie's tonight.

Thank You

Archie

Well alrighty then....post away! For a moment I'd thought the "rat" was in Hanger 54, he,he.

Archie,
How about a couple of shots of my car to energize me for the long drive up tomorrow?

Ok, fine...... let's see if I have PIP working correctly.....

Thanks Archie - that does the trick! What time are you at the shop Friday morning?

Jim

Well, I 'll be away for a few days. We pack the trucks and leave Friday morning. If you need to get a hold of me Arch you can reach me via cell.

Hope to see some new pics on here soon!

I'm usually there by 8am.

Anyone want to see final pics of the other car we finished up a V-8 swap on today?

Here's a sample

Iowa? what part of Iowa?

White, lowered 86 GT, with the 17/18 combo, custom interior, and LT1 in progress. I'm living the dream!!!

Heya Archie,

I have an off post topic question for ya since you've posted the chop top pics... Did you see the post where to get the tempered glass for the chop tops? Guessing so, will that be an option offered soon?

That would clinch my decision to have it done.

Thanks,
Greg

Gee, it would be kind of interesting if it was going to ..... say ..... Davenport.

But I'm home right now and don't have those records in front of me.

Archie

Oh I sooo love that paint job!!!!!!!

That is just nucking futs!!!!

Jim88GT,

Just curious what kind of wheels do u have in store for your new chop top ?

Any other visual changes or plans ?

Once again Archie you have come through. Great job! Whats the total number of choptops now?
(1) blue
(2) white
(1) silver
(1) gun metal gray
(1) yellow
(1) purple.
Maybe we need a homecoming.

Btw, Archie is it easier to take the rear clip off, after a chop? Just wondering if I should wait to work on the rear clip before or after a chop? Curl.

Jim is on his way home with his chop top.

He left my place about 10:30 this AM.

Outstanding. How much head room is lost? Do you compensate by lowering/thining the the seat?

I have a feeling you could charge people money or get the fridge filled full of beer just for letting them watch the process.

Sweet chops Archie, I love the look.

On the fastbacks it just seems to scream exotic sportscar. Not gaudy, not trying to look custom, just looks right.

On the Silver Notchback for the guy in California, Who's or What are those sweet side scoops? That's about exactly what I want to do to the side of my 88 Formula.

Archie,
Finally made it back home - got caught in some really bad weather (30 solid minutes of hail). Too tired to type tonight - will post tomorrow.

Jim

I'll be running 17s up front and 18s in back - I have to install the new rear coilovers and take some measurements to see exactly how wide I can go. Plan on moving the rear spioler back a couple of inches and doing sidescoops similar to madcurls. I've just about settled on yellow for the paint, but might still be persuaded on blue (similar to Crazy Daves). Also going to do 13" brakes and Mr.Mikes Leather seat covers. Right know, I have to put it on the back burner until getting cleaned up from the mess from the hurricane left. Hope to have it done by next summer!

Saving my pennies !
