When you get the digital version, can you please email me a copy, I can get it to Barbie at the local paper for the story she is doing in a week or so that will be exclusively covering the "Tyler Fiero Project 2009".

That's awesome!!! An exclusive fiero story would be great for so many reasons. We hope this will attract the attention of a doctor who might specialize in the exact illness that tyler has. The more publicity the better. IP: Logged |

GREAT NEWS!
GNU Industries, the makers of Commando Car Alarms has donated a Remote Start/Security system to the cause. I have lauded Commando Car Alarms for years, and have been installing them for the last 9 years. I love them, they are reliable, fully featured, and top notch products.
I spoke with Dan Lombardi at GNU/Commando, and he has stepped up to the plate by personally donating a system to the cause. I highly recommend this company, as I have in several threads in the past.

I just sent an email to the fiero store reguarding my wifes idea of having a t-shirt made for tyler that everyone envolved in the project will sign, I will send it to mr. mike, then rodney dickman, then chris cook, and so on and so forth. Ultimately ending up at ground zero where the rest of us can sign it. What do you think?IP: Logged |

Just sent a message to the TLC sales and marketing team. Lets see what happens .
The letter I sent.
Hello, My names is Rick Manning. First off let me say I am a huge fan of this show you guys seem like a great groupe of people with a real passion for cars. I'll cut to the chase. I am a huge fiero fan along with a bunch of my buddys. This month we are going to be doing a massive project on a fellow fiero owners vehical who will not be with us to much longer. The kids name is Tyler, he is 18 years old and He owns a 1986 auto Fiero GT. He has been dignosed with an untreatable cancer and has been givin a very short amount of time left on this earth. A bunch of us fiero owners are banning together to help him make his last wish of having his fiero on the road before he passes. Its a pretty straight forward car no frame damage or rust but the body and engine are in pretty bad shape. Its in need of paint and engine work. What im asking for is if my hero when it comes to cars, Chip Foose and his team would like to come out and give us a hand in making this kids car his true dream before the end of his days. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my email. Here is the information on what we are doing http://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum1/HTML/078180.html If you would like to reach me for any questions about this my phone number is Cell(484- home(484......[This message has been edited by pontiackid86 (edited 11-04-2009).] IP: Logged |

Great idea! I'd love if Chip and the A-team would come out here and give us a hand on this. I think that would make Tyler and everyone's day if this would happen. But if i remember correctly they stopped doing Overhauling it only ran for 5 seasons.
You should also email Chip Foose from his website www.chipfoose.comIP: Logged |

Yes. I realize he puts a lot of work into the scoops, but let's see if he would be willing to chip in on this with a donation, or even a reduced cost. IP: Logged |

I am back, hopefully this time our internet will stay up for a while. I am going to sift through all of the new posts and update the parts list on page one. I am also going to put up a list of who all is coming the weekend of the 21st. Thank you to all who have donated for this cause. To those that donated, could you please PM me your name and address? My wife really really really wants to make thank you cards for you guys and send them out. Her hobby is making cards, and they are awesome.
My wife also told me that even though I put Tyler's ship to address on the order for the turn signal lenses from the Fiero Store, they still got sent to my house, so she is forwarding them to Tyler's house.IP: Logged |

/\ I will call to make sure. He seem to forget a lot lol. I will call to make sure. I am pretty sure he will be there. How many people are going to be there so far? I hope to send out the gaskets today. I am getting the entire intake gasket set, instead of just the upper end set. Since the LIM and UIM, along with the valve covers, are going to be taken off.[This message has been edited by 1984whitesc (edited 11-05-2009).] IP: Logged |
