I have been away from the forum for a while, but one thing hasn't changed, TroyBoy's car still isn't done! Just playin, it looks more magnificent every time I look at the newer pictures. I can not wait to see some video of the first drives, this thing is sick!
EDIT- who owns page 57? This guy

This tripped me out for a minute there. Is that a battery mounted in the hood? Oh wait, thats right, polished stainless. I just so shiney it doesn't look like a reflection.
Troy, Archie and crew my hat is off to you. NICE, NICE, NICE!!!!!!!!!! I loved the video except for that white stuff on the ground LOL. stay warm and keep up the great work!
I'm impressed...............................thoroughly absolutely awe-inspiring impressed. This car is truly a work of art.
Archie, you and your crew are cartist's! That's a new word I just made up to attempt a description of what you've done with this car.
Troy has a masterpiece crafted by you and the boys. I don't think he'll ever be able to wipe the smile off his face, I know I wouldn't.
What an amazing piece of work. Don't know what else to say. Hope I get to see it in person some day.
You are a master craftsman. Thanks for adding more excitement to this particular Pontiac, and for giving everybody who gets to see this car something to inspire them with thier own projects.
Just have to say one more time..................amazing!
Why would Troy ever want to sell this car anyway? And as for getting miminum loss on investment, Barret Jackson is a great place to find many impulsive, competitive, and rich men (or women).

Totally right! This is probably the best place for the sale of a car like this one...
Its a great car and its hard to know how someone meant something over the internet. He was probably commenting on how many people will say its just another body kit on a Fiero. ****em more nice cars for us. I think the car is great and a one of a kind.
As has been pointed out already, hard to tell sometimes how a comment made is actually meant over the net.
A Lambo is "just a car". So is a Rolls, or anyone you can mention. They are all just cars, and in the overall "scheme" of things, how important is any "car"?
To say this car is still just a Fiero, is like saying the Taj Mahal (sp?) is just another building. True any way you choose to look at it. I just think Troy's car is an extreme example of thinking "outside the box", at least as far as Fiero's go!
Everybody's still entitled to thier own opinon, and at least in this country, the right to express it. I think that's all anybody has done here, including me. Troy's car is a manifestation of Troy's vision and Archie's abilities, whether hands on or as a coordinator to see that everything gets done-goes together as planned.
Hats off to all involved. That is all.......................................over&out.
oooooo! someone has an attitude? sorry back on topic..... I love the video. you just cant beat the sound of a v8 rumbling through pipes i wonder if it is emissions legal? NOT.... he he he he is archie really in illinios? wow i thought he was in cali for some reason.... this car has come a long way if you have the 2 hours and 45 minutes you should read all the pages. its pretty cool watching it all come together to make one sweet ride.... oh and ps the value of this car is much higher than that of the average fiero. try at least 40 grand because it is all professional work and documented... plus who wouldnt want a car like this?
So ... with all the money spent, it's still a Fiero with the relative resale value.
How different would it be if I were say, "So ... even with your eighth grade education, you still have the intelligence of an ameoba." It would appear that this publication should be required reading in Tallahassee schools.
I can agree with Sage on one point and that is, he does have the right to express his opinion. On the other hand, so do the other members of this forum. As far as Jake's willingness to give him the benefit of the doubt, that's up to him. However, the emoticon Arbin used kind of says it all and I don't find it hard at all to ascertain the meaning behind his comment.
Arbin, the members you piss off today will ban your ass tomorrow. That's how this forum works. Negativity and drama will be dealt with "Dick Cheney" style.
I would want this exact car. I smell whatcha steppin' in, but if I had a car like this, it would no longer be unique and that's been Troy's gameplan all along.
i think this is the first fiero supercar .who cares what it cost , look at the way an all aluminum 427 cubic inch just hunkers down in that engine bay .this car is awesome , great job .
brocefus your car seriously ate an import? really? i was contemplating mating my ga16i five speed in my non running fiero but figured itd be better to use a duke. (same horses) back on subject.... i guess i would call this a supercar. i wonder who is brave enough to drive it? zoom zoom zoom i guess there is a reason they call em v8 archie!
So ... with all the money spent, it's still a Fiero with the relative resale value.
wow.... I don't care who you are but you just don't dis someone's ride like that. it's just plain rude.
I don't know or want to know how much Troy has spent on his beautiful ride, but I'm sure it is worth more than that non-driven under 200 mile Fiero that is for sale up in Washington state. You know the one they want 30 or 40k for((?) couldn't find that post). Now that car needs work too, it's 20 years old, not driven, only thing you can do with it is put it on a show stand unlike Troy's. Now if you wanted to drive that barnbaby then I would change every seal and gasket in that engine and drivetrain just to be sure that i could get out to point A and back home.
I'm sure that Troy & myself appreciate all the support in regards to ArbinShire's comment. However, I'd like to ask that we let his comment that stated the obvious stand for what it is & get back on topic.
I'd hate to see this thread go off on a 2 page tangent & I'd rather see it get back on topic.
Archie and Troy the car is amazing. That you also for letting me come down to the shop to meet troy and have a conversation with you guys regaurdnig the build. Is it a fiero yes but it is one hell of a fiero and this car was build for a person and not for anyones resale. If I made this car I would be buried in it when I die. This car is about Hart and the willing to take it to the extream Bravo and A+ to you sir for Building and A+ to you Troy for haveing one of the best Fieros out there.
dear god i started crying when u reved the engine up. great job to all of u who worked on this car, and to troy for coming up with the idea. dont think iv ever rlly known wat jealousy was until that video lol
