And the Dickman clan comes through with headlight rebuild kits!!!!!!

Fiero Vendors are the BEST!

Today I went down the road to our neighborhood reapir shop and spoke with the owner. He is willing to do the engine work to get TJP running perfectly. I am thinking about speaking to a few other specialty shops (clutch, brake) to get them to do a their bits as well. It is difficult for me to find a load of time to do all this myself during the week. Dark when I go to work and dark when I come home. I also got another Advanced Auto behind us (well hopefully. he said he had to contact corporate to make sure but saw no issue with it). Tomorrow I will swing by ORiellys and see if they will back us.

Bump to keep us on the front page...

Friendly bump... anything new?

A few parts arrived last night in the mail.

Before you know it it'll look like one of curly's cars

Edit: the post i put up earlier tcpglobal has two stage kits for a decent price too. You might be able to talk to them about it.

Few more parts arrived last night. I am still organizing build areas.

here it the tire cover on the way out. Did not want to clutter it up so I made a full shield to go on it. Should ship tomorrow.

That, my firend, is flippin sweet!

I dropped the car off at the engine shop last night so they could go through it and test everything. Don't just wanting humming, I want it singing!!!! I'll be in DC for two weeks so that will give them time to go through it.

The embroidery shop just called and said the emblem was ready, so I will be finishing the cupholder/pad this weekend and shipping it Monday.

Here is Joel`s cupholder.
I will be shipping it tomorrow or Tuesday.
Mike

... and now it doesn't show the original post. Interesting.

Either way, the post was on the cup holder - how is that going into the car ? Inquiring minds and all.

Initially, Johnyrotten had PM`ed inquiring about a cupholder, thus there wasn`t a post.
Here is the way they mount.

Mike, that cupholder unit is absolutely stunning.

Thanks Hulki, I`m happy to contribute to a good cause.

Cha-ching!!!! Nice one! I made it to DC uneventfully, watched the Steelers win, and now this! Sweet! I am going to have to test fit it in my GT...ops check it...you know...then I will probably have to order one for myself! Keep trying to get a Beechwood option!

Bump to keep John on the front page

Sorry if my interest is detracting from the thread, which is pretty inspiring. All involved are pretty awesome. Kudos.

Awesome Thread, Good job to everyone involved!

Thanks to Indyellowgt for the donation of 4 marker lights being sent to TLG for moding!!!

Just wanted to jump this one up to the front again. We have promises on all the parts that were quickly noticed items that will need replacement. Thanks for everyone that donated! I am working on a paint and supplies distributor to donate the necessary supplies so that can make can get this right the first time. It is a bit tough to do when you are dislocated and heavily tasked. I am looking forward to getting back home and digging into this beast to see what is what. the more time i spend thinking about this the more I think that since we are going to do it I would like to bring Joel into the project now and have him help with the mechanical porion of the foray. I am also thinking of trying to get an engine rebuilder to pull the motor apart and inspect/rebuild as necessary. I am going to have to pull the motor out anyway to see what is what with the clutch so why not beauitfy while we have it out? Clean up the bay, etc. I hate being a perfectionist. It is hard to do things just good enough.

Hopefully all the parts that were promised will be there by Friday so that Saturday I can move out on the project. Lots of pictures to come!

I have a good alternator the only thing is it needs the pulley, and I wouldn't be able to get it till this time next month. Reason being I moved and it's still in storage 750 miles away. If that works then let me know, but otherwise im sorry I can't help with that.

While I very much appreciate the offer the timeline may be a bit too long for the project. Thanks for the efforts though and for thinking of the project!

Just got off the phone with Mr Mikes....seats are being made today and will be shipped on the morrow. Should get here Monday! Now to work on House of Kolor for paint!!!

So... what's the good word man? Anything new and exciting?

Still stuck in dc...flights are slipping so I may get stuck in Atlanta. If I do I hope to go see Dean! Always look for the silver lining.
