The Fiero Factory needs some help (Page 1/2)
FieroG97J MAR 31, 09:56 AM
I talked with Jeremy at The Factory recently about doing some work on one of my cars. He told me that he's the only one wrenching right now as the work slowed down so much he had to send guys home. I got the feeling that the slowdown started even before the virus hit. Most of us would agree that the Factory needs to stay up and running. My point is if you need work done on your cars that you can't or don't want to do yourself, I would hope that some of us could step up and drive, tow dolly or tow some work up to AL to help the Factory get over this tough spot.

Jeremy used to post here as "fierotech".

Generally, he was just too busy to spend a bunch of time, here.

Since he seems now to have a one man operation, he likely has no time to post. The best thing we can do is send him some work.

I've always read lots of different things about the Fiero Factory. As a Fiero owner for over 35 years, I've always wanted to visit there, but being 900 miles away, makes it difficult. I've heard it is merely a scrap yard, with a shop attached. I've also heard it is a Fiero specialty business, that features engine swaps. Either way, it would be a shame if ANY Fiero source went out of business during this economic/medical crisis.

I am here. Thanks, Dave.

Ironically I just started a GoFundMe page this afternoon, and made some changes to my website and posted on Facebook.

The whole story is on the home page of my website, www.thefierofactory.com

Please feel free to click through and catch up on what's gone on for the last decade, and where we are now. And if anyone wants to donate a buck or two to get us through this pandemic thing that's wiping us and the rest of the country out, go to www.gofundme.com/f/the-fier...ctory-covid-hardship for my GoFundMe account.

Thanks all, hang in there and be safe!

Thanks for sharing the Fiero Factory story, Jeremy. I'm still a couple of weeks away from getting my 88 Coupe to you for work, but I'm doing the best I can myself right now. I don't know how this sounds, but is there any way (with the help of the AL Fiero guys) you could put on a Flea Market like we had in the old days? I haven't talked with Ed in quite a while, but if he's able to travel, I bet he'd like to be there. The younger generation of Fiero fans have likely not experienced something like the Flea Market. I still wear my old Fiero shirts that I bought each year there. Just a thought. I'd be interested to hear from others on this idea. It just might relight the Fiero fires.

We will have to wait until this pandemic thing is over to evaluate and consider that...if we planned to do it this month, we are forbidden by law at the moment. But it certainly can be considered, when/if we get past the current crazy.

Perhaps he meant a "virtual" flea market? Lay out a bunch of parts and have live streaming for people to bid or offer to purchase? Nobody in their right mind would suggest an actual flea market for the next few months.... Scary times

Actually I was thinking of an in person meet like we used to have, but not until the pandemic is in our rear view mirror. We certainly would not want a large gathering in these times.
