Hehehe how about MURDER ??

It is usually red and this car is definatly a killer !

On second thought that may be a bit too morbid.

[This message has been edited by exoticse (edited 09-03-2007).]

Hmmm
Ambush, Overkill, Red Fury, Murder. Anyone remember the movie "The Shinning" name it REDRUM

ahhh good name! it incorporates the color, and still has the violence of names that were suggested previous

You have power, speed (LT1) and your car is red. How about RedWolf.... Sounds like a Tom Clancy book...

Wow!! Now that turbo LT1 has the pefect body to represent it. Muscle look with real muscle. In my opinion those are the best rims I have seen in any Fiero here

Chuck's kinda shy but next time you see him at a show, check out his car & you'll be impressed. Archie

He must also have ready access to a paint booth and the knowledge how to use it...that is the fastest repaint I have ever seen. I am jealous.

Nope, no paint booth.

The paint job he had on the car prior to this widebody swap & the current paint job were done in his home garage.

Thanks for letting my know. Sorry about last night. I thought the phone # I redialed where the in laws in Antioch, IL.

PS
There are parts in the trunk and passenger side... like Fiero Store "GT Turbo scoops w/ tinted windows", IMSA fenders and lip spoiler, etc

[This message has been edited by FierociousGT (edited 09-05-2007).]

I am not sure if I have missed it, or if it wasn't said, but is the front widened bumber without molding also something you are selling archie?

And what does that bring the grand total to for every panel but the clip, roof, hood, and door skins?

you'd be surprised what you can do in a garage paintwise...i have a friend that runs a body shop out of a glorified garage..its pretty primitive but he does some of the best paint jobs in town..not that much dirt gets in the paint and all you do is wet sand the paint after you paint it--which you would do anyway even with a booth cuz theres always gonna be some dust somwhere that WILL get on the car -- i'll be painting my next project in my garage

quote Originally posted by Archie: I gotta say something about this car & it's owner. I think everyone knows by now that this is Chuck's car (PFF=MotorTV). Everyone's seen his red 383ci LT1 Turbo car. I gotta say that Chuck is very likely the most versatile "Car Guy" that I've ever meet. If you've been following this thread, you've noticed that he put the car together himself. This is the 2nd time he's painted this car. He does it at home in his garage without a paint booth one panel at a time. He built the entire wire harness he has on his 383 LT1 Turbo & has done all the programming with his laptop. He has many "tweeks" on his car that you overlook initially but once you see them you notice how well executed thay are. He also has a lot more that a "Working Knowledge" of micro electronics, cameras & video. He operates a machine shop for a Firm in Chicago & does everything from machine setup to machine repair to operating the Tool Room. Chuck's kinda shy but next time you see him at a show, check out his car & you'll be impressed. Now, I'd be happy if he could just take some clear full size pics of the wheels & the car from several different angles. Archie

I have to agree with you Archie, Chuck is a nice guy, very knowledgeable and capable.

Chuck well done my friend!

JG

name it

I have my garage set up as a spray booth. The compressor sits in the basement and can't be heard from the garage and also sucks in drier air ( dehumidifier ) and I have a pretty neat setup for air exchange. I'm installing a full furnace and central air setup in the garage this fall as my old heating unit is starting to fail on me. As for the paint quality, I sprayed in a dealership booth for quite a while and I really like my garage setup. Several of my paint jobs now have been on Fieros that have been show cars and I've got a bit of my paint work all over the country.

ok well thats just cool

wandering some off topic, but has there ever been a home garage paint job thread? i have a pretty good sized garage now and i'd love to try and work a spot or corner of it into an area where i could try to paint a car.

Congrats to Chuck (MotorTV) Best of Show (non-stock Fiero) Fierorama 2007

WTG Chuck, Well deserved. Car looks great.

Now I really wish I hadn't sold my gold notchy. Would have made an awesome driver, with this kit...

A word to the wise: Never sell all your Fieros and hang around PFF; they'll make you regret it

Thanks to all for the nice coments... I had a blast at the show and could not beleve the response to the car.
Thanks to Archie for putting up with me stealing the parts off his test car before he had time to make the rest of the molds.
Firefox.... Thank you very little for the grass.... lol... (That sounded bad... It was lawn grass...)
Can I go to sleep now?

Congrat's Chuck! The car looks very nice and good job on the paint.

You & I think alike.

That is exactly why I took & posted that picture.

Someone chop it for us.

You know I didn't put two and two together until I saw the engine....Chuck's car is the only one I know by the engine compartment...been one of my favorites for years!!

I'd chop it but my chopping software is off-line

I'll bite, but I always have to put my twist on it

Looks good, thanks.

You may want to put MotorTV's name on that pic too.

You just know that someone is going to pick that picture off this site & start posting it up all over the Internet with their own banner as their own car or design.

Thanks Very Much.

Archie

^^^ See if that's what you meant (original pic has been edited). If so, you can replace the pic in your quote, so the nabbers don't get it. If that's not what you meant by putting his name on it or, if I have your info wring MotorTV, let me know what needs to be corrected. Glad I could help...

[This message has been edited by toddshotrods (edited 09-11-2007).]

Sometimes it's real hard to get good pics during a show. So, I took a few other pics of Chucks car before the Open House on Saturday.

I love the way it looks..... That body looks much better than I had thought it would look.







Archie

I like the blacked out triangle. Either that or fill it in during fitment. It looks great no matter what, thats for sure.

What about a side-marker light? isn't it illegal with out one? The car looks awesome
