The short nose produced lift at speed ! Thats why the MKIs had the more familiar longer nose that made down force .

Before the Dells, there's always a crowd that gathers.....

The Michigan & Florida Fiero tour group stopped by on Thursday on the way to the Dells.

It was rainy & damp, we managed to do a little clutch master cylinder repair on 1 car & that made time for a nice long visit before they were on their way....







My guys getting ready to leave for the Dells show on Friday.

Kris, Rob & Chuck......

It's good to see that all that R&D is not going to waste .

Looks like someone has caught "Supercharger Fever"!!!

We sell & install the MadArch WideBody kit & the spoiler & the ChopTop kit.

The customer chose his own wheels & we custom modified the nose to his specifications.

Hey, another group buy, hehe.

Question(s): Is #027 slated for LS engine? What type of wheels?

I don't know if he's picked out wheels yet.

Stock Fiero V-6 to go............. I mean to go......... like it will go out the door with the stock Fiero V-6 engine.

Any updates on #027?

For the last couple of weeks we've been working on a couple of projects.

One of those is the GT40 LS3 SC installation featuring the Edelbrock E-Force Supercharger.

Here, we've mounted the Heat Exchanger for the SC.



We have it up on the lift to install the Fuel pump, run the intercooling lines, Battery cables, Water pump & cooling connections.



Big time Electric Waterpump mounted in front of the right rear tire....



Intercooler pump mounted.



Intercooler reservoir mounted



P.S. Reservoir, & thermostat block mounted



Tomorrow morning, we are going to do a quick first test run of the engine.....





Archie

Test fired the LS3SC today & took a few more pics.











A little video of the 1st start. http://youtu.be/da6OyA2aF1A

Yes, got the front fenders fitted & the nose & front spoiler on.

Working on the design for the nose & ready to order some Lambo door kits for it.







Archie

I think I'm in the mood to do another group buy on bolt on kits for the Lambo doors.

Anyone interested???

This set took Rob & Kris about 90 minutes to put on & they work great.











Archie

That's good news. Never bolt on. Tweak it first.

When is my spot for #015 going to be ready?

Archie, How much will the kits be?

They will be $1150.00 per set & will be a direct bolt-on to a stock Fiero.

We fitted the 1st set this week & the fit is as good or better than the last group we did. Better yet, the price is less.

I'll try to post a group buy in the Mall today.

Wow Archie... between the Muira and the GT40 replica, I'm not sure which one I would choose if I could have only one! I would imagine there were some similarities in the way you modified both chassis, such that the GT40 was likely easier with experience behind you. Both are stunning cars. Keep the photos coming!

Thanks, both cars were very labor intensive & were similar in Chasis construction. The Miura chassis had to be stretched in front of the passenger compartment by 5". The chassis on the GT40 was a bit easier on this car because we built a welding jig for the chassis after we did the 1st GT40 a few years ago. On both cars, after all the welding & the initial body test fitting, the Chassis' were both 100% Powder Coated before final assembly started.

After that theMiura as more labor intensive because less was known about the body shape what it was "supposed" to look like when it was done. the body we got from the U.K. was just a shell that was warping out of shape as we worked with it. And it has no instructions of guide as to how to build it. For example, on the doors there was no information provided as to what window could be used or how to attach it or operate it. nothing, not a clue.

If I had one of them for myself, it would be the Miura. It had a little better ride with the longer wheelbase. Was easier to get in & out of. The craftmanship that Rob & Kris have in that car is going to be hard to beat by anyone for a long time.

Archie

Sweet rides and awesome craftsmanship! I hope some day I'll be able to get one of my cars chopped and stuffed with a V8 from Archie! B)

LOL, that was fun.

Video tonight.

Looking good Archie!
