Yes. Powdercoat the valve covers and the upper...

If you have a middle, powder coat that as well if you could...

If you intend to do Packers colors, make the middle intake yellow, and the upper green with yellow... Will offset it nicely.
Otherwise, silver powder coat for the middle, and stock red for the top.

Also:

I spoke with Dennis at Norseman Auto Detailing in Detroit Lakes.. Dennis will take the car and have a full interior/exterior detail done on it, this includes carpeting and the dash and whatnot, as well as an engine cleaning for us. Dennis has agreed to do it for free, but needs the car at the shop for a while.

I'd like to get the car over there for a day in the middle of a week, possibly next week. This will clean the interior for us, clean the engine a bit for us to work on.

Can someone post all the links for this cause? I don't want to go in there looking like a con artist. Just something to show the guys at the shop.

This thread and the one it links to in the first post, along with his Caring Bridge site are all you will need.

I added an event to the calendar for the night of November 19th through the 21st.

Also, whoever was in charge of the media contacts, please contact me..

This is a page where Tyler's family can post everything that is going on with Tyler and his whole story. Tyler has something that he has always wanted to do and be done and that is his Fiero. He has always wanted to get in top shape and now we are doing it for him.

AWESOME! I can handle getting the car over there. I will talk to Tyler's dad and see if I can go get the car tomorrow morning and bring it over to Dennis.

I have a member that is asking if someone has a couch he could crash on Fri, Sat, and Sun night. He has limited funds and can't afford the hotel, but really wants to help. Please let me know.

I will have to ask my dad. I know I have at least one guy staying at my place already.

I just got off the phone with Wold's RV Sales just South of Detroit Lakes.

He needs to have a pow wow with a few people before he can make a decision.

I asked him if it would be possible to rent or borrow an RV or two to park nearby for the purposes of a place to crash.

I emailed him with information about Tyler.
