I guess you can expect me there then. I'll be in a toyota camry. All my other cars are still undriveable as yet. I unfortunately don't think I'll have my datsun ready by Sat.

Hey guys sorry ive been a bit busy lately getting my Parents house atleast semi-done and in payment for my hardwork im getting a Boat!!!!!
its a 74 Invader tri-hull with a True 2.5 Iron Duke plenty of fun stuff for it in the watersports arena and it is in great condition too!
Downside: i might not be able to store it at my current location and i start my new job on the 7th so money will finally be coming in on a regular basis so getting a storage unit for it is a possibility but htey want it out of the garage VERY soon lol.
For the Steering column how much do you want for it? I found a set of rims i want for my Fiero off of a Volkswagon and they look awsome just gotta pay for em lol.

Hey everyone and I mean everyone in the club! we need to get this logo thing done with, I may have some one who can print it for us for next to nuthin on stickers!! and possibly t-shirts also I would like to propose we have a family cookout some time this summer say maby at highcliff state park?? some place with a nice view things to do and somthin for the kids as well any suggestions??
Hey guys do what you want with the logo, whatever you guys decide on that is ok with me. SAFASTRO hasn't gottten back to me and I have nothing to add as I have zero graphics skills so go with what y'all like. The logo isn't and never has been important to me. The locality is what is important to me, even though I've only met one of you it's good to know there are other Fiero nuts close by

hey faaaq that was me that said id help u put a door on and messege 86soon3.4 (steve) he has a door far as painting it what are u lookin to do?
Weeee. I'll be stopin' by after the dells show! Can't wait!
And as for the logo, I'm not real picky. I think I still like the one Sadie made though. I guess I kind of like simple. But I'm not picky one way or the other. Maybe we could test print each one and see how they look on paper/vinyl?

just a simple low cost paint job in either blue or black. i will get a pro job done when i have cash, im just sick of my car looking like crap. simple rattlecan job would be fine. anything, really lol. so long as it isnt matte in the end.
i will pm steve and see what he has to say about the door. anyone know of someone with a spare front passenger side panel?

hey faaaq if u sand it down with some 320 grit paper and bring a bunch of tape and paper and a can of farm implement paint we could shoot the car for under a hundred bucks and u wont be using crappy spray paint u can buy a gallon of nasson black autocryl for 48 bucks and then a liter of marhyde hardner for 20 and then a cheepy can of acetone to knock it down a bit for ten bucks this will give u two gallons of paint to work with and will look like glass when your done plus it wont be damaged by solvents and other things like a spray paint would if u get the stuff i could shoot it for ya but ud have to leave the car here over nite to dry the stuff takes about 24 hours to dry out in the air dont waist your time with spray paint it will only make your life horrible in the future when u want to put a really nice job on it for a nice paint job that will do for now go with the nasson autocryl it will last a long time and can be painted over with other paint in the future without any problems

Given that you first contacted SAFASTRO about logo possibilities nearly one month ago, learning of his lack of a response to you is quite the letdown. Nonetheless, thanks for trying, av8fiero.

jetsnvettes2000, can your contact for the logos "clean up" your shield logos (the latest one with the "quadrant shield," and the latest one with the "bisectional shield") as Bradbitz11 and 86fierofun suggested on 5-22 and 5-26:

Originally posted by Bradbitz11: I'll go register for the local site in a minute here, and perhaps have my hand at cleaning up the logo posted in this thread...it'd be advantageous to create it in a vector-based drawing program such as Adobe Illustrator (that way, it can be infinitely scaled: a very important consideration for something meant to be vinyl cut, etc)

Originally posted by 86fierofun: Not bad ideas. I'm working a lot, so I can't play with things right now, but when I get time, I'll try and redo Jetsnvettes logos in Photoshop completely, so that all the edges are smoothed, text is curved, and things are easier to see.

Here's something I put together - spent way too much time trying to clean up the paths on the cars - couldn't find vector-based files so I had to let Illustrator 'live trace' and then cleaned up its mess :P
These can be scaled to any size, and can of course also have color instead of this 1 color representation - the only thing I'd be concerned about (depending on size) would be too much intricate detail when vinyl cutting (I have only limited experience with that process, and it's been ~6 years since I last did it in high school).
Hi Steve - sorry, no I do not....have been working on a frankensteined project (The ever-interesting 'rustoleum paint job) on my decklid and roof. The previous owner took my GT to Florida every winter, so it was getting quite bad in regard to the paint on those areas. Just decided one weekend that a bad '5 footer' paint job would still look better than the massive sun-fade on those panels. I did it with the understanding that when I do decide to have it painted for 'real', I'd have a lot of sanding on my hands...
Either way, it's looking decent for the $50 I spent on it so far, and ought to tide me over until after I do an engine swap (again, another long-term project - but hopefully coming to fruition sooner than later!!).

I this one alot. The only thing I may be interested in possibly changing are the colors. Otherwise I say it's perfect. This has my vote, it's a classy design
