Just wondering if there is a dirtiest Fiero award.

I'm driving about 1200 miles one way and will be showing up in time for the Friday festivities. Kind of looking forward to a dirty car with a clean windshield.

See you guys soon.
Greg, (Mr. 10 years late)



DIY STU drove this from Texas multiple years, we were glad to have him there and his car Dirt? missing paint? No big deal.

Weight is a problem. It requires a serious surface. It is unlikely that a US highway would carry the weight.

The ASAF would not like a repaint.

I do not fly it. A friend is crew chief.

Well landing is optional, could buzz us with a super low fly by, at camp and at the show, but the text on the side of the plane, really LARGE would be required.

We'll see. The plane will fly through that area, but I think the days are off. It is on the West coast, and will head to the East coast, that week.

If you bring a Fiero with a sketchy paint job, be forewarned, we may try to fix it! We were looking for something to do Friday afternoon, and Chris came up with the idea of painting someones car! We laughed, and then ran with it. a half hour drive to O'Rileys, and around 15 cans of PlastiDip later, it began.

We pulled Stuarts car into the garage and began.


We taped off a couple of things, and then all grabbed a can and began spraying:



Here it is starting to take shape: (Carter striking a pose, & being a ham for the camera!)



About 10 minutes into it, Will decided that it definitely needed to have a go fast stripe installed.
Will is installing the stripe with surgical precision, while Andrew supervises.


.

All in all I would say we spent just a little over an hour painting the car. We did no work whatsoever to the clear coat or any prep work.

.

Ok, HERE is where it became interesting.... It came out FAR better than we could have ever imagined!

.





The next day at the car show, we decided we needed a new category for car classification.

Thus the "Best 1 hour redneck paint job" trophy was created, and Stuarts car unbelievably won first place!

Holy flashbacks Batman! That was so much fun! And the thing is, it isn't even close to some of the shenanigans we get up to up there.

I still remember when we kicked Stu out of the front of the property so he couldn't see us work, then we dragged him back up with his eyes closed, and unveiled his "new" ride.

Man, that was so much fun.

THURSDAY CARAVAN
The usual spot seems to work pretty well.

Thursday morning at the Shell station:

610 Proctor Ave NW, Elk River, MN 55330

Time to be determined...9am maybe?




Sounds like a plan 9:00 leaving by 9:30 at the latest

Change of plans here... Will only have 1 car.... Other one went on road trip this year and was a bad boy and is in time out for road tripping.

Who else will be there?

My wife and I, Blake from TX, hoping to hear from JonnyRottin, as those guys will be driving our Fieros up. May have a couple of additional people in our party as well.

Additionally, I will most likely have either the Volt or the Acadia (or both) with a TON of cargo space (and vehicle support stuff). If you need room to shove things, or need a ride up, we'll have space.
