Troy, it goes without saying you have the best Fiero of all time!! I just cannot say how perfect I think your car is. What makes it so great is it looks like something GM could have dreamed up as a concept car. It completely custom but does not look in anyway over done.

Congrats my friend.

-Chris

Simply unbelievable. Gorgeous vehicle.



Anything short of a clean sweep of the eligible awards at the show would have been a literal crime !

Congratulations Troy, Archie, and crew.

Hehehe. The best award IMO.

"I drive modified Fieros- anything less would be uncivilized."

Awesome cars Archie.. Troys car is amazing and It has the looks and power to back it up.. You have to be very pleased with the showing Troy, your car is very very nice..

I like the picture I got of you guys parked facing oposite directions.. Beautifull cars.. It was almost cheating bringing such a work of art to the car show.. Its kinda like you brought a machine gun (Troys car) to a sword fight (Dells Run)


But seriously Archie, it has to be neat for you to see so many of your cars out in the Fiero circle.. There was a good number of cars you have basicly built in the show..

Hehehe,...best qoute of the day. Sooooooooo true, not to belittle anyone else, but that car is a true show stopper

I think it will show extremely well outside of the fiero circle as well.

Troy, I finaly got up to Archie's and the Dells. one of the things on my wish list of things to do was see your car in person.
I just want to say it is amazing in person the pic's look great but no where close to what it looks like in life.
I only wish you could have made it I would have liked to meet you.
D.

Wow, glad to see it finally all together!!!
Gimme a shout when you get her home, would love to come see it, and being laid off now, I have tons of time on my hands...
Mine is off road now, now extra $$ to finish the repairs from the rear ending.

So is the red fiero the TaZ's now sold to the new owner? I love that car. And plan to create the same but with keeping the matte black and a dog eared (stock) spoiler.

Two awesome Fiero's.

How goes the test driving Archie? Any news to post? The emails for updates and info are off the hook 25 to 30 a day mostly non PFF, but I'm directing them here and the other place for updates as i don't have the time to personally respond to them all. I will call you on Monday.

The car is still safely stored in your trailer since returning from The Dells.

The weather has been on & off raining for the last couple of weeks & I spent the 1st week after the Dells test driving the Solstice.

We're figuring on taking the Perfect Union out of the trailer for more testing around the end of the week.

Looking forward to your call.

Archie

Well, that would work if Archie sold this center console:



Fie Ro is the one that actually makes that center console and sold it to Troy/Archie for this project. You may want to contact Fier Ro to see if he is selling these.

HI all

I thought that Troy had a Fie Ro center console, but didn't wanna take the time to search....... DOH!!

Thanx buddy!

Fie Ro made the center console for me as a favor, and the Dash is made by Archie but I had it modified to blend with the Fie Ro console. I must say that it is one of my favorite mods on the car.

ya i knew he was the maker the first but i thought maybe archie reproduced it either way, sick ride

Yes I just couldnt resist having a small part in the 'perfect union' idea...
I dont have the spare time and ambition to make and sell more reproduction parts...my own Fiero is my main hobby..and that still isnt done
Its great to see how good all these different parts on the Union got blended in the final result...making it look balanced and finished...good work for those who had to put it all together

edit: found some older pix of Troys kit mockup
This is my setup when finished

any miles on the car Archie? Don't be afraid to spank it a little

quote Originally posted by troyboy: any miles on the car Archie? Don't be afraid to spank it a little

Funny you should ask that today.

We finally got around to getting back to test driving yesterday.

Had to clean it up a bit & couldn't find the chamois, so had to take it out in the neighborhood for a "Spin Dry".

It spin drys well at about 90.

Later Kris & I found a local cruise night to take it to. We stayed near the car talking to people.

Even though we didn't get great parking area in the midle of the lot, we had a lot of people checking it out.











More next week.
