archie very nice work !! do you have any v-8 kits avli and can you get side glass made for mine right now i use lexan side in's with cam locks on top mine are tinted so police here in ontaio canada asked me to remove them at night as to see me
I was just looking at that thinking the same thing. I was about to email Aus, and see if you can keep your normal trim like that with his scoops, and if so, what the cost will be without them. I guess I will just wait and see what Archie has to say about it.
there definatley not stage 2 scoops, do to the fact that the curve is slightly different, sits higher to the trim line and the bottom isnt sticking out to fallow the trim that Aus provides for the doors and front fenders

Hi Archie, Just wondering about that 240Z dash. What are the measurements on that? I was looking into it a while ago, as it would be a fairly cheap dash replacement over here in Australia, because I wouldn't have to import it from America! Just wondering if its any good to use with some really major adaptations. Thanks, Tim

Got my 2002 Haulmark 24' Enclosed Trailer today. Archie
I know.... I'm going to address all of your questions in a minute, but right now I want to talk about my new trailer.
What is all the fuss about a new trailer?
As many of you know, I do a lot of Fiero shows every year. Last year I logged over 22K miles to & from various shows. I've always just gone to the shows and displayed a couple cars like everyone else. At these shows, I've never really cared about trophies (except last year) & I just wanted to show beside my friends and Customers. I've been happy enough when my customers show well at the events. Some could say that there is something wrong about a major vendor competing against those he serves. So this year, as much as possible, I intend to set-up as a regular vendor. It will be less like fun and more like work but it is what I should be doing. Many of the Fiberglass parts I sell are very expensive to ship & I've had many of my customers ask if I can bring their fiberglass parts to various shows for them to pick up.
16 years ago, when I started taking SBC V-8 Fieros to shows, I drove them to the events. This proved their reliability to be driven anywhere at any time. My customers and I continue to prove this daily. Most of the shows we will be going to, we will be taking 2 or more cars. At least one of them will be trailered (with all my other stuff) in this trailer. Now before some slow thinker says my cars are not street cars because they are trailered to shows, please pay attention here. Anyone who has seen my cars knows that they are NOT "Trailer Queen" show cars. Those kinds of cars get a lot more Show Prep than my cars do. And, just because one of my cars might be trailered to an event, that doesn't make it a "race" car.
The other thing that the trailer allows me to do is to bring more of the "show & tell" type of stuff. We may even be able to do some seminars at certain shows with the Demo stuff we will be bringing along.
I'll be going to most of the major shows that I went to last year and a few of the other shows that I can work in.
If anyone wants to order body kits, rocker panels or other items, I may be able to deliver them to a show near you.
I have been assured by this owner & I'm happy to report, that the car is going to be re-painted the Silver.
If I recall correctly, the scoops were custom fabricated a few years ago for this car.
I'd like to point something out here, the guy who owns this car monitors PFF on a regular basis but is not a member. Something about him only having a Yahoo account. I think you guys should urge him to find a way to join up to PFF, because I think he can be a valuable member.

That has SUPERCAR written ALLLLLLL OVER IT! Great Job Archie!!
I was going to say the same. It makes the Fiero look way longer than it really is, it looks incredibly hot. Is there enough clearance for a 6'1" guy in there Archie?
Hi Archie, great trailer! So when do you show up in Sweden with it?
Off topic though, I dont know if you got my email, just wanted to know it the rocker panels are in the mail that I paid you for, so I know when they are to show up over here
Hey Archie can you get me a shot of the car like that with out the building behind it and the guy in the driver seat. I need to make a sign show board for that car. I am almost done with everyone's i need yours and Chucks.
Archie, Are those wheel's that are on the Fino supposed to be with that kit?? I have noticed that those have been on ALL the one's I have seen...???? Do you like em' Archie?? Seriously...

hehe....no they don't come with the kit. I only have ONE set of those wheels & I hate them. They came with Candy Apple Cars when I bought that company out of England. I trial fit them on every car I build looking to find the one car that these wheels look good on.
I'll be going to most of the major shows that I went to last year and a few of the other shows that I can work in.
Hey Archie, do you have a list of the shows you will be attending for 2003 yet? Though I have had Fieros for a while, I am new to the "organized" Fiero world and don't know what shows you attended last year, or where they were. Hoping I can make it to at least one to see your stuff and meet you.

Have him email me at rob@xtralite.com and I'll get him setup with a different email addy so he can register on PFF!
Hey Archie, Fino looks nice and yes, I agree those wheels are terrible. LOL.
I just wanted to know what's going on with the GT40 kit you had posted about. I figured it was appropriate to post my inquiry here given the topic Thanks
Archie doesn't make the GT 40 kit, its made out west and there is also a distributor in Louisville, Ky. Archie did put a V8 in it and that would be a dream car.

I know this but he had posted pictures of one that was in his shop for finshing if I remember correctly.

I'm still looking.

Can't wait to see those wheels on the GT40 your building
I like your trailer, I might try to pester (ie, pay for) you to bring a Warber hood to the 20th show, and what a nice trailered ride it would have! Then I'll need to pester (ie, plead & beg) George R. to bring it back down South in his trailer... lol. Hey curious... Will you need my original hood to keep your inventory in balance, and is there some sort of core price reduction or somesuch?
Archie, Thanks for the response and a chuckle! I'm very much interested in having you do a chop top/v8 conversion on my 88 - but - first have to liquefy another asset (70 SS454 LS7 Chevelle) to fund the Fiero madness!
Are you crazy????? Fieros are nice but they are not chevells
