Agreed on the coloring of the supercharger and valve covers. Is that just high temp paint or is it a colored coating (like ceramic or ceracoate or something)?
Nice looking Mera, too! There's a lot of design features on that car I like.

I have a turbo 4.9 car i’m redoing, a 4.9 car i picked up for 500$ pictured below, 2 3.8 cars of my own to do, and 3 3.8 cars in build stages for customers
Nice work Trent. Since the closing of FieroMotive in St Petersburg, Fiero owners now have a good shop to go to. BTW, have you heard anything about Jim Cleary recovering from his illness? Last I heard he was not doing well.

Dennis, unfortunately, J.W Cleary Succumbed to his illness a few months back, his girlfriend threw away all of his collection as far as as i know and was super hostile towards me and other florida members when we learned about his death. Glad i can keep fieros on the road!
Super glad I could learn on J.W while i could, on another note does anyone have any info on this car? Maybe a build thread? I’m going to take the v8 out of this car and install a 3.8 supercharged and sell it 😌

Thanks for the update. I did not know Jim passed away. My condolences to the Cleary family. JW had quite a collection of Fiero parts and I purchased one of the last C4 taillight panels that he had before he became ill.. I have no idea why Grace would be hostile to Fiero owners and throw away much of his collection. It sounds like she was angry about something but in life strange things do happen. Now you are the only one in FL still carrying the torch for Fiero repairs and modifications. A few Fiero owners asked me where to get the Corvette C4 Taillight panels that Jim sold. . AFAIK a shop that made fiberglass boat parts made new molds for Jim just before he became ill..

The molds are in the garbage, all of his neighboring friends by his shop informed me that she rented a huge dumpster and it was all trashed. Sage, ron did buy it, then sold to another customer of mine, i’m taking the v8 out of it for his kit car and converting it to a 3.8 sc that i have!

Thanks for the headsup. Didn't hang on to that one long!LOL Love to put that Corvette engine in my Stinger!
Was working on this when my fiberglassing came to a screeching halt due to wife's health situation....won't go into detail here, but suffice to say, she can't be left alone, and I can't afford a private nurse!
Got the plug nearly finished, just was never able to get the mold started....maybe one of these days....you know...when there are no more Fieros left with owners who would want one! LOL
Very cool! I didn't know there were any Fiero-specific shops here in Florida. You're like 40 minutes from The Villages, and about an hour and a half from Tampa where I live!
Yes i’m not too far from tampa! I had a busy day today, i had several motors and cars dropped off, can’t wait to bring some excitement, I also have a 4.9 auto package on a pre 88 cradle that runs ready to go and a 3.8 series 1 thats already been nicely wired and has a clutch and such, both are for sale

Very cool! I don't know when I'm going to be in the area, but would it be OK if I stopped by one day and see what you have? Are you selling any parts too?
TA you are free to stop by whenever you’d like, I’ll admit i’m quite busy since i last posted on here, the 4th was my last day at my normal job and i now work on fiero’s full time I couldn’t be happier, the facebook community and some of here has been super supportive, anyone who is down in florida is free to stop by, I am building a second building in the next month or two and redeveloping my land as well as being busy with fieros
Hello Mr. Villian, I am a new, but second time around Fiero owner and I'm in Orlando. If you don't' mind me asking, what part of Florida are you in and do you mind visitors? Thank you. reb (Roger)
I have been super busy with cars, and have stayed swamped between me and my apprentice, we are having lots of fun down here! Here are a few more random photos as i don’t hop on here as much as i’d like
Here’s an 86 I just picked up to get back on the road when I find a buyer that has a 4.9 4 speed in it
This is my personal car, i went and checked out some stuff at a hangar close by!
Picked up FieroMotive’s Jw Cleary’s personal car and all of the molds him and I had acquired or he had made over the years, looking forward to bringing alot of old stuff back to the market 😀

It did, except for i guess a storage lot of all of the good stuff. She was going to trash everything in the unit due to the response from the community but contacted me and i was able to come up with the money for it all

Cool. And I get it. When we moved, we ended up filling two dumpsters with crap from our basement/garage, and didn't throw out anything that couldn't be replaced, except for maybe some old electronics manuals that we really didn't have room for. I haven't missed them.
When you start doing lower quarter scoops, please keep me in mind for a set of IMSA style. I know that one never existed, but have you any plans to repop the Formula nose? Or maybe a modded one?
I plan on alot of things, i’m hoping formula repops yes, but i’m building the new “fiberglass” space as I can between the bigger builds and as i can afford to.

Hey! Just wanted to say thanks again for letting us check out your shop! It was awesome seeing some of those Fieros!
You saved are ass, we've been looking for a 4cyl coolant neck everywhere. The dash is awesome, and the seat is going to be perfect with Mr.Mike's covers... thank you again!!!
