Wow! Took me two days to read this thread, and it was well worth it (Gotta figure out why it takes 20-30 sec to open each page, and 20-30 sec to return, I have broadband). I had some questions, namely, on your supplies. What brand names/vendors on stuff like the urethane repair materials, bonding agents, plastic rivets/trees, etc. All the routine consumables that you keep around. Do you shop on price? (Probably not!  ) Being that the car shows you frequent are too far away for me to drive to nowadays, I'll have to be content to view pics. Post more!!!!!!JazzMan

Well the material I use for lots of stuff with the urethane body parts is a product found at professional body work suppliers. I use a brand SEM product number 39508 and it is called RIGID?TPO REPAIR MATERIAL. It is a two part epoxy type material that is designed for flexable panels which is sandable. This stuff is not cheap. I do use it to bond pieces together. The plastic rivets are available at most car parts suppliers. I try to buy what the professionals use. Especially because my painter demands it. Buy your body repair stuff where the pros do and not at Kmart or even Autozones. More pics? I would think you guys have seen enough. Here is one pic from our ride home from the Fierorama. My pretzel from a rest stop was cold.       [This message has been edited by skitime (edited 03-21-2003).]

Not to intrude on Ski's post at all, but this is the thread that I refer people to who are interested in how a Skitime/Lawrence-style chin spoiler is created. http://www.fiero.nl/forum/Archives/Archive-000001/HTML/20030204-2-027606.html Ski- as always, you're work is immaculate & most impressive, and I can hardly wait to head out east again!

This thread has been like a good book to me, I just can not stop reading it. I am trying to do my homework, yet I find myself continualy distracted by this thread. Your car looks amazing Skitime! Being the owner of a red 88GT myself, your thread is very inspirational to me. Once agin, great post and great car!

You can't be too rich, too thin, or have too many pics of Skitime's car. Lovely, beautiful, awesome. Skitime - Do you think it would be possible for you to take a picture from this spot but without the car? Then the rest of us can photoshop our own car in that location and fantisize that our cars are as nice as yours.
