Gotta keep me informed here!
And you can strike Jeep out of Nereson's title. They quit jeep last spring...

No. Do not take it to Neresons. It goes to Frazee first, as they need to pull body panels to prep. I left you a voice mail. Call me... Also, please take photos of the areas under the hood, the interior (dash/carpets/console) and the engine and trunk. I would like to see how it turned out after the detail, as we may need to order some additional stuff... Call me.. Call me.. Call me.. Call me.. :P

Pretty much. The brake parts will be in at Hedahl's tomorrow. I need to talk with Dave, as I am hoping they can get the parts, or you could pick them up and take them over there for Dave to paint up. Need to get a can of high temp caliper paint in red... (I have a vision)..

Yes, the majority of our pilots are 35 years and younger. The plaque is more like a medium oak color, the picture made it look lighter. Dimensions have been taken and I'm PM'ing you now, Don.

Ok.. I was playing around, and have added a live chat feature to the tylerstoy.com website. http://www.tylerstoy.com/menupage.htmlWe can test it out, it contacts me right now, but I can eventually change things up to point to anyone I want.

Nick, Per our discussion, run it by Tires Plus for the inspection, then drop it at Frazee Auto Body and Glass. Would love pics, and... Since all of the extras that are being shipped to you should be coming in soon, please snap a pic of the pile of boxes/packages.. We'd love to see the mess it is making!

Andy,
Please add Dan (Fosgatecavy98) to the builders list. He is going to be my point man as I will be unable to attend. He is flying into Fargo, Fri. @ 1:45ish.

So it is going to go to Nereson's with out body panels on it? I think you had better talk to Dave prior to making that kind of decision. I dont want him to dig into then rip it out of his shop for the brakes to be done back in Detroit Lakes. We need to be logical about this. I feel that after it gets to Frazee it stays in Frazee.

Remember, the Fiero can be driven without panels. They are mainly cosmetic covering the spaceframe. \/\/

The brakes have to be done though. I am waiting to hear from Dave. I did speak with Karen already on it, and told her that things needed to be done.. Be patient, I am working on this from a distance, so I am doing all I can to make sure it gets done in the right order. Body panels can be prepped for paint on or off of the car. Brakes should only take a few hours with all new hardware. The car can legally be driven without the body panels as long as two conditions are met. The marker lights are still installed and functional, and the license plates are installed. The front plate can go in the windshield. If the majority panels are at the shop to be prepped, then a few hours of the car at a mechanic having the brakes done is nothing. [This message has been edited by Synthesis (edited 11-09-2009).]

Keep in mind guys, the Minnesota State Patrol Headquarters is located right in Detroit Lakes Driving a car without body panels might draw some unwanted attention.

Last time I checked the Fiero space frame is legal without body panels as long as all the lights are present and working... we had a member drive to the Dells in a 'naked' Fiero. On second thought... it may need a hood and decklid... sigh. [This message has been edited by carbon (edited 11-09-2009).]

Captain Hinches (sp?) from the Minnesota State Patrol office in Detroit Lakes stated that as long as it has windows, lights, plates and is registered currently, it will be fine to drive to Detroit Lakes to get the brakes done. He did state that the only thing you will have to worry about is weird looks.
So... Once I speak with Dave, we will have a plan to set in action.

The main questions is
does Frazee have the time to really tear into it and take everything apart tomorrow? I think we just need to slow down a sec take a deep breath and think about this Synthesis. See what Dave says and we will go from there.

Nick, I understand completely what you are saying. No, I do not believe he can tear the entire thing apart in that short of time if he has no experience in doing so... BUT, the brakes HAVE to be done. The parts have been donated. Do we paint it, then drive it over there in broad daylight and let an auto shop work on it with fresh paint and greasy hands? Or do we do the brakes while other stuff is being prepped? The hood can be removed in 10 minutes with only one person and a ratchet/socket set. The decklid is even easier. The front bumper is 30 minutes of work, max. Again, I know what you are saying and I understand it. But unless you have the skills and time to put brakes on the car, it should go to Nereson's once Dave is able to tell me what we can do. It all hinges on Dave. It takes several days to prep for paint. If most of the panels are sitting in the shop to be prepped, the car can go at any time, not necessarily Thursday, or even Wednesday. It just needs to go before it gets paint. We won't have the time to do it on the weekend, as we have a lot of other stuff. Give me a call when you can.

I can't give much, but I gave what I can via the paypal link on the website. I will be praying for all of you who can make it to work on the car, and for Tyler + family, that they know how much God loves them.

Hello Everyone! I have talked with the owner of Billy's and he would be honored to have the meet and greet and his bar and restaurant. I just need to tell him a time that we figure everyone can be there. I was figuring about 6:30-7ish? Let me know! Thank you!

I was thinking that would be good. And let it run as long as the place is open for those who would like.. We don't want to take over Billy's exclusively. We just need a roof, good company, good food, and liquid refreshments for those who want them. I look forward to meeting everyone. I will try to wear a name tag with my name/forum name on it.
