Bozzie that car is insane! Very impressive work. Is this your 88 with the custom Malibu interior? Or a completely different build? Either way, highly impressed and quite jealous of your skills.

Got to visit today and see the wide body parts for my dream car and speak with Archie. Thanks for taking the time out Of your day to visit. The parts are of high quality I do say. Archie was kind enough to drive the widebody notchie to work for me to view, Sweet! I also saw Troyboys wife's car with the Amida dash. Now I gotta have the dash too! I do need to stay focused and get the engine fixed up first. Surprisingly the engine Archie has in his Notchie V8 makes the engine bay look less cluttered. I think he said the tai lights are 2011 Camaro, everything about the car looked top notch. Archie this is the Porshe that I talked about to make "slight" body modification to your parts.

That is a tow hook that is used for hooking a cable when towing the car on a flatbed,if you tried to hook the cable under the nose it would risk damage.

Hmmm............. I Just don't know if this car works for me. Well............ Tell you what, I will give you the opportunity to redeem yourself though. I will give you my car to rework, and refine on what you have started and done here and I will take this car for collateral until you are finished. Just call or PM me for when we will be doing the swap and I will be willing to give you some free pointers on how to make your second attempt stand out from the crowd. In all seriousness, very sweet and original tweaks. The front end looks very aggressive yet sleek. I want to do something like that in a chop top. In the back I want to move the license plate up between the lights. On the sides, a mild widebody so the doors will not have to be modified, with narrow scoops on the wheel wells. I have 1 complete fastback GT and 1 complete SE at my disposal with a frame (for practice) and 3 complete 'bodies'. I plan on doing a chop-top on both a fastback and notchback simultaneously. That way I can go back and forth doing the same thing at the same time and I will have less down-time overall. Just need to finish my storage shed so can make the garage my shop. You have given me the impetus to get back to work on the shed(should be finished by the middle of June). Great work, very inspirational. [This message has been edited by hcforde (edited 05-18-2014).]

Ha..... I am the first to say it over here, but Happy Birthday Archie. Now for my question relating to Fiero stuff. Can you point me the direction of a FAQ on LSx selection IE which LS is your kit made for, best year/engine choice. In the near future (next 3 months) I am going to be contacting the people running your shop now and requesting a complete master build kit for the LSx Standard Trans. However I would like to have the motor sitting here before I do that. So any words of advice would be great. ------------------ 857GT Part 85GT Part 87GT Part Caddy, 93 Eldorado 4.9, 5spd Dual O2 Custom Chip, Custom Exhaust. MSD Everything Now with Nitrous.

Hey guys, checking in with an update. Even though, I've said it's "Semi-Retired" several times, I seem to keep getting emails & phone calls from people who think I've totally retired. I've been staying pretty busy since moving to Las Vegas a little more than a year ago. But I still have time to check in on PFF everyday. I'm still making & selling the SBC Chevy V-8 kits for both the Automatic & the stick shift cars and the LS V-8 kits for the stick shift cars. Also, I'm still doing the 6 speed conversion kits. I'm also still doing the MadArch WideBody kits & the Warber scoops, Battery trays & the headliners. I continue to have all of that stuff in stock. I'm even doing a V-8 swap every once in a while.... .JPG) I did get rid of my 800 number. Everyone calls with their cell phone now a days. So the 800 number just had both you & me paying for the call. The best number to get me is 847-212-3909. Thanks Archie [This message has been edited by Archie (edited 08-18-2015).]

LOL A Friend (& old customer of mine) from Miami, used to call me during the Winter months to tease me about the FL weather vs the Illinois weather. So, here I am in Las Vegas & he sends me a snow brush/ice scrapper as a Christmas present. I had to get up early on Monday to go to the State line for PowerBall tickets. Guess what, I had to scrape frost off the windshield before I could leave. At least I got on the news. (Gray hoodie with sunglasses)

2 years ago today. We closed up my Shop in IL. & I began my move to NV.
A shout out to Kris & Rob wishing them well & thanking them for all the good years of building some great Fieros.
A special thanks to all of my customers.
Yes, I'm still around, selling my engine & transmission conversion kits.
Thanks
