While everyone is there, someone question MsLoriFiero about her GT quarter windows and why she screwed so many people out of them....if she is still employed. No one seems to ask her when they are there so for those who don't know: https://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum4/HTML/030265.html Edit to add after the comment below......This has nothing to do with the Fiero Factory. They are one of the best companies around and hopefully Jeremy will continue to do the Fiero world great services as always. However, there are those that would like answers about the topic listed above.
[This message has been edited by IMSA GT (edited 04-14-2010).]
You know, I REALLY don't appreciate, or need, this in a thread about something positive I'm trying to do for the Fiero community. Lori is still employed here. Her project, side activities, etc. have nothing to do with me, and don't concern me if they are not harming anyone or my business. This all started before I owned the shop, and it didn't have anything to do with The Fiero Factory then.
If I thought I had an employee that was in any way stealing from or harming anyone else on my time or theirs, I would let them go. In addition, I would do whatever I could, as their employer, to help or make them rectify the situation.
With this particular situation, I have not been involved, and do not know the history beyond what she tells me, and what I've read here. I have not read the entire thread; I'm way too busy to try to sort through all of that. According to Lori, she owes exactly 2 people windows (she has been paid for them, and has not delivered the product). I do know for a fact that she is still working to develop them and is making progress. I also understand her desire to not say anything about it until they are 100% ready to ship.
Again, according to Lori, there are two people who have been, as you put it, "screwed" out of their windows/money. According to her, she has been in communication with those two people, and they are being understanding of the situation. This may or may not be true; at this point I believe my employee. If it is not true, and you are one of those two (or someone else who feels they were screwed out of something), call me (Jeremy) at the shop, and we'll talk about it, and I will do my best to help you either get windows or money back. As I said, this has nothing to do with me, but if I can help solve a problem, I will do my best to do so.
Now, please...if you have not personally had a monetary transaction with Lori, do not call me about this. Do not post in threads (at least any thread involving The Fiero Factory) about it. We don't need two people (you and I) involved in something they have nothing to do with. I only need to hear from people who paid for something that they haven't received. If I do hear from unhappy customers of hers, I will try my best to get things resolved; that's all I can offer. In return, I do NOT want The Fiero Factory, or my, name tarnished by acts beyond my control, real or perceived.
Now, if this can be the last post about this, I'd appreciate it. The swap meet is just over two weeks away, we're looking forward to it and putting a LOT of time and money into it. We hope everyone who comes enjoys it.
I understand and appreciate your desire to solve this problem, but I don't appreciate the method. I'm not hosting the swap meet as a venue for a lynch mob to show up. Lori isn't in hiding, and there's no secret that I'm her boss. Anyone who wants to communicate with her or myself about her can simply call here. I'm not defending or condoning anything; if I find out I'm being lied to by an employee, I will deal with that on my end. However, I will not use second-hand, assumed information to come to that conclusion...I need to hear from those who have been wronged first hand and get some details directly from them.
This is everyone's chance to either get some resolution or reassurance, or to make an even bigger mess out of this. Please don't make a bigger mess out of it, and I will do everything I can for anyone who needs help.
Thanks, take care--
Jeremy B.

Barring an unforseen problem, fierosails.com will be at the Fiero Factory Swap Meet. We really look forward to it.
One item we can bring if anyone wants it is a 3.4 block. That's a BARE block, not a short block. The cylinders have been honed and it has been drilled on the correct side to mount a starter so it will fit in a Fiero. If you have plans for a 3.4L upgrade, this is a steal at $150. Complete with spider webs and dust bunnies.
We normally don't bring large decals to the swap meet. However if anyone is interested in something particular we'll be happy to make it and bring it with us. Contact us off-list via fierosails@yahoo.com.
Hope there's a great turnout to show support for Jeremy and his crew. We look forward to seeing you all.

I appreciate the edit, and kind words. As I said, if there are individuals with personal experience/problems/issues, call me and I will do anything I can to get them answers and resolution.
Thusfar, I have heard from no one.
Thanks, to everyone else, for staying "on topic" and not helping us derail this topic any further; look forward to seeing all at the shop.

After starting this thread, now I won't be able to make it. My wife got some unexpected time off and even though it was a very tough decision I decided to join her on a trip to see my two grandsons in Arizona. I hope you guys won't hold it against me. I will start making plans to be there next year.

I may bring my 3800 SC Series III vehicle to Toney for the Swap Meet. It is installed in a red Mera and will be rather easy to spot. Get in touch with me and we will see what I can do about the ride.

The layout will depend on the turbo kit selected or how you want to fabricate the piping. Some turbos are located back toward the air cleaner area and some are near the cruise control canister. This is a picture of my 3.4 with a turbo installed.

This is what holds the turbo 3.4 engine in the appropriate position. Unfortunately I cannot drive two cars at the same time so only one will be in Toney.

Steve (Raydar) this looks like your color. I think you must buy it to complete your collection.

I have gone this this ewvent a few times in the past, but have never sold anything. I have a couple set of lace GT wheels with brand new Bridgestones on them I want to sell. Do I need to register with the Fiero Factory to make sure I have a spot? or what?

I will have my truck and trailer full of parts with me. everything from body parts to maybe some custom ones as well the parts will be some from the house and shop as well as parts from Ben and Clayton. I will be their on Sat. I can only go the one day so I will see you all their D.
So, is Comfort Inn or LaQuinta the popular choice? Haven't mind up my mind, doesn't really matter to me. Are the rates the same?
Ron
La Quinta is a bit cheaper, so many are giving that a try. I know at the Comfort Inn the wifi connection seems to work in the lobby but not too well in the rooms in the back. La Quinta is on the same side of the road as the Mexican restaurant (I think) so you won't have to cross the six lane road after a couple of 41 oz margauritas. :
I stop at Big Bob Gibson's BBQ on my way up to Huntsville. I like their ribs..
Big Bob Gibson's in Decatur is also known for their loaded baked potatoes. They are some of the largest that I have ever seen served in a restaurant.
