Yup....I'd like my Fiero painted this color someday too Nice pics everyone! Keep'em coming! Did it rain there at all? I see a kid with an open umbrella walking in between the cars!
RCR, thank you for answering my question about whose wheels those were by magnifying your picture to show those are actually Boyd Coddington wheels:

I checked out the Boyd Coddington website and saw those appear to be their so-called "Junk Yard Dog" wheels, which, despite their name but like the other Boyd Coddington wheels, apparently don't show prices for them on their website.
Because of topcat's earlier guess that they might be Chip Foose wheels (understandable, because I see from Foose's website that they look similar to his "Nitrous II" wheels), I'd sought their prices but found none listed on their website, either.
This gives to me new meaning to the saying, "If one has to ask its price, one probably can't afford it."
Nonetheless, gentlemen, thanks for your input re those wheels.
And now, back to our regularly scheduled program...
The picture of the hamster-powered Fiero was, IMHO, worthy of ROTFLOL:

Sorry about the Akraiser I enjoy talking. I did spend over a hour with John Callies who took a shot with me by my car in the prototype corral for his old buddy Bob Bircmier who build many cars for him including the GoodWrench car next to us with my car. They had been in the Garage together about 22 years before this and back together yesterday for the first time. I was asked to bring the car in and graciously accepted. I also was lucky enough to drive the very 1st Feiro made around for about 30 minutes giving rides and still smiling when I think about it. I found more people to talk about my car in general from when it was born especially John C who bought it and sent it over to DGP to get done right away. Hulki floored me when he came over to it and told me he had it sent to DGP I guess before he left he ok'd them for the SD4. I do think he meant the SD4's in general but didn't pry him for info as he was busy. I spent some time with Paul V also and want to thank him for allowing me to talk his ear off hahahaha. We had a shoot of our two cars together and they seemed to draw allot of attention which was great.
I had a worker come up to me and told about my car being in the plant with the convertible to show the employees. They left them there for a few days to boost everyone's morale up.
Enjoyed everyone's company and wished I could have spent a week there with the people and there cars. I especially want to thank all of the volunteers and the Michigan Fiero club especially Fred Bartemeyer who ran around helping everyone and won more awards than anyone I have every seen at one setting hahahahaha. I am downloading vids now lets hope they work. Rick B

I had a realllly great time! Thank you to everyone who helped make this a great getaway..
I am kinda sad its over though... But I did meet some really great people and I hope I will get to see them all again, except the few females who gave me dirty looks when I said hi. :P
The funniest part of saturday was when the "bouncers" came to put an end to a very interesting speech
Congratulations to all the mechanics of the winners who paid for their work, (and they better get those trophies!) And even more congratulations to the owners who put their OWN blood and sweat into their cars to make them as beautiful as they were!!!
I hope to see you all again.

I had a blast here at the 25th. My only regret is that so many people were here I couldn't hang out with everybody. There are quite a few people that I didn't meet, and I'm sure I forgot a few people's real names already. But it was a great show. Maybe at the 30th it should be a week long event?
Here's a few pics that haven't been posted yet.
Through the generosity of Tom Corey my son and I got to run at MIS...that was a blast.
The rickety ole 2.8 got us up to about 100 mph. Not bad considering the T-tops were off.
Here are some Texans, and a guy from Michigan...
At the banquet the two ends of the Fiero spectrum met..."Friends don't let Friends drive stock" versus "Factory stock...the way God intended"
(sorry it's out of focus)
I did get the Movie Car signed by Hulki...he liked my dash, said it looked better than the original one.
Here are a few of my favorites:
And I capped off the weekend by visiting the old Fiero Plant. It's still there on 900 Baldwin Street, (at least some part of it). I got a wave and a honk from a passerby as I was taking the picture.
Now for a few from me! (just an intro really... more tomorrow)
Waterford
Prototype Vettes
Stinger meets babe
My Car
Myself and GokartMozart
The Funks at the Banquet
The rowdy Fiero bunch after a latenight swim while being stalked by a security gaurd...
We put
11 people in a G6 (2 are not pictured)
and Betty at the Dealer
Alex and i had a BLAST. Fiero people effin rule eh? it was awesome to finally put faces and personalities to screen names. We even had our own Detroit tour guide (Dan!) and for people we already know.. well we obviously hung out again!
yea Jerry and I have a looooot of pictures, im gonna post some later on today aswell.
but in the mean time, i just want to say here that this weekend ranks VERY high on the list of best times of my life. all the things i got to see and do, the people i met, the silly things and good times... man it was great
Dan(Gokart Mozart), i had such a nice time hanging out with you, talking, and getting to know you! Jason, you are freakin awesome ofcourse, i love you man! MadCurl, your sweet man! it was so cool to meet you! The Texans, you guys are crazy and fun and the last night wouldnt have been so much fun if it wasnt for you! its allways a pleasure to see AC jr and AC sr, and his silly laugh and great stories! OhioIndy, your a cool dude and so is your son and i got some sweet Indy pics i cant wait to post here that i think you will like. FireFox, hahaaaaa your silly, your like the cool uncle i never had, and your wife is so sweet! i got to meet and talk to so many other of you guys(but i never remember names that well) and it was really awesome! ill never forget how great of a time i had and a big part of it was feeling like we are all one big family. ive never had this kinda community thing before but it really means a lot to me i could just keep goin on and on about the sentimental value of all this... buuut...
...before i get toooo choked up.... i gots to go to bed.
i dont know about you guys, but its gonna be real hard getting back into the swing of normal life after having such an amazing few days.
Lot of great pictures, lot of outstanding cars. I was the guy selling my Fiero stuff outside (and our black GT), so I didn't get to walk around and talk to many folks, but some fellow PFFers stopped by and introduced themselves (thank-you) We sold enough of our garage stuff to pay for our hotel room, gas, and part of the Penske rental for the weekend. We would of hung out more but the hotel wouldn't let us check in with our bulldogs (after sitting in the lobby for 2 hours, grrrrr) and they found us another hotel across the street. I have to admit seeing some of your cars really make me question if we should sell ours, plus I got Hulki atuograph Regardless, really great event and turn-out. Blessings Dan & Dora Johnson

This is great! With your pictures and narrative, I'm just now able to put some people with their Pennock's names! Wish there was a better way to do that at the show, but I'm learning!! I'll know more next time! Thanks again, everybody! What a great time!!

I had a great time at the 25th too! Lots of fun, tons of cars, tons of great people! I really have little to add that hasn't been said already. I do have some pics I took (Ok... 177 of them!) I am more than happy to share. Instead of linking 177 pics, I'll just post the link to the hosting site they are located at:
I'd post these images directly, but too large for photos. Click the link above. ------------------ 1984 Red Fiero SE #9382 2.5L Iron Duke / 125C Automatic
