Shawn you were awesome in your determination to get the car running. Chris you had what it takes to get the mission accomplished. All of you made a kid smile that will always be imprinted in my memory, along with many others. I swear when the car was being unveiled god made the sun the shine on a very special kid. We celebrate Turkey days usally in late July. This has been a strange fall, we normally are cold with snow.
Thanks, that car wasn't going to get pushed, run poor, or sound, poor under my watch, or without the help of an awesome team.
Kinda ironic how the sun popped out right when the car came out & lifted the REAL fog eh ?
Didn't realize that the live stuff was jagged with no audio ??!! i would have been much more descriptive, but oh so tired. That was a milemarker for me in hours straight. Didn't get up for more that a pee break & food twice. Didn't get to see or post even once on live chat or contribute to it. In fact while Tyler was chatting with Huki & getting his plaque, i was busy welding his manifold
Sorry I wasn't clear--the problem was on my end. 21.6 kbps connection= no to streaming audio/video. I could see 'web shots' updated every couple of minutes, and tho I didn't know who it was, I knew someone was in the rear storage, bent over the engine for hrs and hrs. I stayed in chat and watched it all night and morning tho. Kudus to ya!!
That is awesome guys! I really wish I coulda made it this weekend but as some of you may know, we were in the hospital all weekend having a baby so we were a little busy. Glad all turned out well! I can say I'm very proud of the Fiero community as a whole this is amazing.

You mean you can post you had a little baby, and NOT tell us it was a Boy or a Girl?
I just got done reading an unfinalized copy of a news story that will be published in the near future about the build.... It is very well written, and had me tearing up...
I will also be getting some photos tomorrow that you guys may like to see. I need to ask permission first.
I can't say anything about the article, as it is not published yet... But you will all love it.
2.5 sent me two hi-res pics for me to host. So just right click the link and save target as. First picture is the group pic of people with Tyler's car. Second pic is of the Fiero's that showed up.

It was no coincidence that the sun came out, and that winter held off a little longer...

Who's to say the man upstairs can't use Fieros as a tool! It's really good to see all of you coming together and caring so much. The Daily Grind can be so negative...
I feel very fortunate to know you guys. I can't wait to finish my car (this winter!!) and rejoin some of the most fun cars shows on earth. Including the Frazee Fiero Festival
PURPLE: So once you heal up from the trunk of this yellow GT, it will be time for another!!
Great job Gentlemen, and Tyler, my family we be praying for you!!
Thanks, Chad

Exactly. Thank you for describing some of the events so clearly.
Oh yeah. If someone has a EXTRA hat they could send me that would be awesome. On the way to the airport andersons bus officially became a part of the build. Soooo I gave them my hat. I will cover shipping. If not no problem.
Ok... This video is unique... for the reason that not only is Tyler getting to take his little brother for a drive in his car, but Hulki is seeing this at the same time it happens. This is one moment I had the laptop in my left hand and my own camera recording in my right hand. The voices are myself standing in Frazee Minnesota... and Hulki (Andy) over laptop speakers while serving his country in Iraq. This vid has become very close to my heart, the moment it captures means alot.
I love it Jason, I'm saving it to my hard drive. Does anyone else have a Tyler folder on their computer with millions of pictures yet like I do? Again, thank you for taking me feel like I wasn't in Iraq for a few moments. For a little while, I felt like I was in Frazee, and part of the celebration.

21o temps and flying down the highway two and a half hours on a bike, . I can only imagine the looks you got. "Look at that crazy fool", . If you had done nothing else, that right there would have kept me in awe. Heck, I think that is more amazing than the magic you did with the Fiero.
I agree with purple reign. There were no words to describe how sore I was. It was all worth it. I asked Tyler if he had ever gone to a MFF fiero show. He said no. Later I made the comment, "well since you were not able to make it to a show, we are bringing the show to you." I know Tyler would LOVE to have a show in his honor. I wouldn't hesitate one second. I would be up there for the annual Frazee Fiero Festival.
Now only if my brother could fix the problems with his fiero lol.

I'm not sure where to post this question as there are so many Tyler threads but is it possible to buy some Tyler Project shirts?
My grandson's name is Tyler also and I would really like to get him and I a shirt! Heck....for thart matter someone ought to offer them for sale in the Mall Section in order to A) have people "advertise" this work of love for the Fiero commmunity and B) build up some additional funding for Tyler and his family.
My apologies if this ha already been brought up and discussed.

I wish i could have made the trip to lend a hand but it looks like you had it covered...and then some. I would have probably just broken more stuff! It's amazing what you people did and ....i don't know what to say other than.... awsome.
Just a suggestion, but if someone were to make a DVD of the videos and pictures taken during the build... I would be interested in buying one.
Yeah it would be excellent to have everyone send to a common location online or whatever is needed and have a huge compilation. All I have is the vids I posted here, and maybe 5 more shorter less "great" ones. Also a bunch of pictures.
**Twofatguys is your collection pics only?
At the very least Tyler should get an all encompassing video compilation.
LOL The fog machine was a nice touch! I showed this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=liKt1C7tEJg to my four year old and she said nice car Dad but it smokes more than your's does it was funny! I saw that it made the news that was great!

Tyler! Awesome that they want to display your car!
I will be up again in 2-3 weeks to resolve the few minor issues we are having with the door locks and the remote start, and I will try to get the headlight motor issue figured out..
The motors reach full bottom, and won't shut off entirely, which is draining the battery. This is a common issue when the switches inside are out of adjustment.
I'll get you taken care of.
Also, your car will be headed to Tires Plus tomorrow to get the new Brake Master Cylinder. I felt the brakes in your car, and while the new Grand Am brakes stop it on a dime, the pedal travels too far... I am going to get the upgraded master cylinder installed for you, and that should take care of the problem entirely.

Tyler, you are most certainly welcome. Seeing your smile and the pride in your eyes at the reveal is worth a million thanks. Your Fiero is definately something to be proud of.

Chris.
Before we left Fred pulled the motors out and fixed them before we left Frazee.
Also I'm having a new steering wheel ordered for Tylers car! It's bugging me so bad that I didn't get a wheel for it. The interior turned out so great and that wheel looked to bad. in my option.
Glad all turned out well! I can say I'm very proud of the Fiero community as a whole this is amazing. 
It's really good to see all of you coming together and caring so much. The Daily Grind can be so negative...
. I can only imagine the looks you got. "Look at that crazy fool",
