I know that after the holladays a lot of people are planning to send projects my way and if you are one of them please PM me and let me know because I want to make sure I do not get slammed all at one time. I want to get them all done as fast as I can and if I get them all at once it will take longer so please let me know. thanks to all for the wonderfull year and I am looking forward to the next one.

I was hoping to be up at the shop Dean but I have been laid up for the past 4 days with a temp peaking at 102.7. I have been miserable! Needless to say, no way I can make it up there. I'll make it up there soon! Fever broke yesterday and I feel a bit better today but still coughing up loads of crap. Fortunately I have had many issues of Fiero Informer, Fiero Insider, and FOCOA magazines to keep me company. I ended up reading every one I own again. Couple more days and I should be able to head back to work and function normally.

Hey Dean, first time back on in a while. The 355 bumper looks great! Should I talk with you about it or do I deal with Fiero Fiberglass? I'm still interested in you installing it and doing manifold/exhaust work on the 3800sc to match it at the same time. Harry

Harry,
We (Fiero Fiberglass) will be selling them on our website once Dean has the plug ready. He will send us the plug then we will pull molds and re-produce them. We already have his first bumper and should have them for sale in Jan. sometime.

Thanks, guys the parts are part of the cover kit and are made of fiberglass.
I have finaly finished the 355 rear and I will be boxing it up to send to Fiero Fiberglass for parts to be made and sold. we also worked on the 360-430 style bumper some today to get the plug ready to pull the first mold for the new one. here are some pictures I got of them today. D.
we will be making a defuser to go with this one as an optional add on. more to come.
Looks real good Dean.

Today we are going to install the fuel pump in the Lambo and get it running as well as do some more on Tonys car. I need to finish up the wiring and pull the motor this one last time to clean a few things up as well as insulate the back wall them it will be in for good. I will try to get some pictures posted up next week in his thread. D.

we have been working hard on lots of cars to get them done over the last few weeks.
the Lambo is waiting for a few parts so we jumped on Tony's car to get the swap finished up. we finished the wires and pulled the motor to clean things up in the bay. we found a new motor for the 355 and it will be going back in soon. the project car may see some love soon as well. and the second Lambo will have some progress pics up in the next few weeks.

What do you think Dean, could you make these work? I personally like the profile better than any I've seen, they look sporty and fit the lines of the fastback well IMO.

you can use any mirror you want you will just need to fit the base to the Fiero. a little know how and some body work and you can do anything you want. D.

Well, I guess I meant "Could you make these work without much trouble?" Though, that's a bit hard to answer without having one in front of you I guess. I was asking because it might be another nice addition that I don't have time to do myself, when my car finds it way to you (should you choose to accept it...) I'll try to make it to the JY before too long, hopefully I'll find a set for cheap to measure and compare.

yes I think I can make them work. I have mounts that I made for any mirror to mount them to the car. D.

stuck at home with 6" of snow and iced over roads. last night we got a big snow for around here and Ga. has no snow and ice equiptment to clear the roads so it shuts down the whole state I could get to my shop in the truck but I would not be able to get down the hill on my driveway without landing in the woods at the bottom and then to get back out would be worse. to top it off the waether is not going to clear up all week. we are to have a high of 36 tuesday and then back into the low 20s.

we were finaly able to get to the shop yesterday and now I need to get in high gear to get things done as well as start a new full custom for a rush order
Met a new fiero guy today, whom just happened to be at Daytona last year and was talking about this fiero he saw at the show. Turns out he was talking about your former DD ! He is crazy about the rockers and really excited when i told them they would soon be for sale.
Any idea on the ETA so that i can relay the information ?

been working my butt off the last few weeks to get things done around the shop and I have not had much time to update this thread so here is a little update. lots of repair jobs at the shop as of late as well as some other projects. we did a 4.9 swap into the blue 355 a while back and the motor that was brought to us was bad so I located another one and got it installed then we found that the harness had some isues that needed to be worked out. after replacing bad parts and reworking the wiring I was finaly able to get the car to run with full power last night and I must say it was a fun test ride the motor makes a lot of power.
also I had a customer bring me 2 84's that needed work one was a 1 owner pace car with a lot of wiring isues that we are finishing up. thats all for now. D.

well tax time came to the shop this week we got 6 service and repair jobs in this week so my mechainc is slammed and we are working late to handle the work load but I am loving it. sleep is over rated and when I do I just think about cars anyway the 2 Ferrari's will both be wraped up in the next 2 weeks as well as Tony's choptop and the Grey Lambo will be soon after. the custom is in high gear as well as other projects I have had a few people come and help this week and that was great, we got a lot done. thanks to all D.
