Got mine yesterday!! It's perfect. I actually looked at the sign I got last week. Also the Hemi badges are something I thought about putting on my 300. And I gotta love the Hawaiian treats which told me immediately it has to be from GTJeff my fellow Hawaiian traveler.
Thanks for everything and have a Merry christmas!!
Dan

Haha, I'm not on enough to know who is from where. I just saw your reply on this thread and assumed it was you. In just doing a very quick search, I did see a "fierowitch" who is your caretaker? Am I getting closer? Haha.

I got my gift a week or so ago, and was going to wait till Christmas to open it. Well the little kid in me has been yelling at me for the entire week to open it now! I caved in.
All I can say is W O W ! ! ! ! ! Far more than I could have ever wanted or expected!
^-----Typical PIP image post! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Here is the EXACT same image I posted with PIP above, The difference is that PostImage.org actually works!
I will build them both, but I have to be honest, the Fastback will be getting most of the love I have been wanting to do a replica of my car for some time now, and now is the chance! I am going to use the same paint from when my car was painted to do it in the same exact color. I will have to use a good primer so the plastic will hold up I am sure. Now I just need to find some Scion TC wheels somewhere
I have no clue who my Secret Santa is! I know they are from Lakeland, Florida, fairly local at around 3 hours away. No name on the package, and no posts in this thread from Lakeland Florida. Whoever you are, please post here, so I can thank you directly! ! ! !

That is awesome JohnWPB. I had one like that 85 Fiero model back in the mid 80's when I was about 14-16 years old. The one I had was in black plastic though and had wide body (IMSA I think) fenders you could use if you wanted. I remember building it because I REALLY wanted a Fiero when I got my license. Alas, my parents bought a 84 Chrysler LeBaron that I was the primary driver of and by the time I turned 17 and had saved up enough to buy a vehicle of my own I had gotten into lowered mini-trucks.
Excellent, John! I've built the fastback model. I used different rims and a riceburner spoiler, and it actually turned out pretty good. Painted it yellow with black rims and detailed the engine. Had spark plug wires and other little details. Then it got lost in a move. Model cars used to be a hobby, then I had to downsize and get rid of everything lol.
Now that I think about it, that was around the time I got my first Fiero... Now I think I know where all my money went...

This is going up in my office at work, thank you so much. My wife opened the package and threw it away before I got the sending address so I have no idea who sent it but thank you!!
Well then I guess YOU! You must have added the "Lakeland Florida" to your profile today, as I searched this thread, and the wish ideas thread, and found no one from Florida that posted, unless somehow I missed it. I even went through my Daytona Show registrations from the past 2 years, and no mention of anyone from Lakeland. (Hint Hint for 2016 ) I did TRY to figure it out!
Thank you again, just awesome! I can't wait till everything settles down a bit so I can start building it all out and modifying it.

I changed it the day I shipped the package, got a couple PMs from people thinking I moved. Haven't been to Daytona in a couple of years, hope to go again next year but its not looking good. I have had them for a while, no plans on putting them together so I thought about it and figured you would give them a good home. The plastic was only opened so I could put them beside each other and see if they were the same size. Yes I took them out of the original package

John, the PIP hosted image in your post looks just fine to me.
You know why it works now? Because I uploaded it for you using exactly the same image and name that you had used in your post. That indicates that somehow you actually did not upload any image with that name to PIP (as PIP will add a number to an already uploaded image with the same name).
Possibly we can work out the source of this issue. I'm curious where you got the PIP link from that you used in your post, as it was originally a link to a non-existent PIP image file... until I uploaded your image (taken from the other hosting site) to PIP.

Many Thanks to my SS. You did an awesome job in making my gift. I love it. Your clock will hang in the house where we will look at it everyday. You did a great job in thinking of a unique item to send the "guy who seemingly has everything". I really appreciate the work to hand make a piece llike you did.
GTGeff, your gift is on it's way--will probably be a couple days late but it is enroute!! Sender expresses his apologies, but an unforeseen problem came up.
Napoleon Tanerite, your gift is also enroute, and may be a little late as well.
Sometimes, these things just happen, no matter how hard we try.
The Digital Alchemist and Otakudude--you both have PMs.
fierowitch, I have it on good authority that your Secret Santa gift will be on it's way tomorrow. It 'should' arrive on time, but may not. Just be patient if it does not make it before the fat man is due--and no, I am not referring to Steve.

The link that I used, is simply the one that PIP automatically copies to windows clipboard when you upload an image. I altered nothing, just uploaded the image, and pasted the contents of the clipboard to the thread. This is a fresh install of windows 10, and fresh install of PIP with the server information copied from the setup instructions.
EDIT:
I just uploaded the image again, and it DID add the _1 to it, so it did see the original image name in the directory when it tried to upload. Therefore it is connecting to the server. As you can see, I get an image uploaded successfully, and I then pasted the contents of the windows clipboard into Chrome (Minus the image tags) and the file does not exist.
Here is screen cap of the successful upload, and the clipboard contents (again with the IMG tags removed) pasted into Chrome:

That's pretty weird as PIP did not have that image under that name uploaded/stored... until I uploaded it... and then the image appeared in your post. Very strange.
I dunno... it goes beyond my understanding of how this is all supposed to work behind the scenes. I don't know how PIP could give you a link to the image when it was apparent that it didn't exist on its own server.

Yes, PIP saw the image of yours that I uploaded with the name FieroModels... and then PIP added the _1 to this second upload of yours.
However, if I was to upload another image with the name FieroModels, PIP would would probably again add _1 to it (instead of _2)... as the image you uploaded just now is probably not actually being stored on the PIP server. This is all very strange.
EDIT: Yep, FieroModels_1 is exactly the name that PIP gave to my image that I just uploaded... as yours doesn't exist on the PIP server.

I received mine last Friday, but this time of year is so rushed I feel like I haven't had time to breathe at times! However, Fiero Santa delivered me two wax and polish sets to keep my new paint looking sharp, an awesome Pontiac sign, and some delicious cookies! I left to visit family today, but I'll get some pictures of the sign and polish sets when I get home. The cookies on the other hand were too good and won't be making an appearance in the photos! Thank you Secret Santa!
Soooo on Monday I did get a super-awesome Android 4.4 tablet from Florida. Jake Dragon was that you? I see you brought some warm weather with it too! I meant to post this Monday but I'm still staring at your avatar. lol Thanks!

Since I was the one that assigned names....I can pretty safely say it was not Jake---wasn't supposed to be anyway.
