Hey, Chopped guys. Is there a blue print of specs out there for chopping the tops of a Fiero? Or is it strictly confidential? I showed my body man a few of your cars and he said he can do it(he's the same guy that chopped my Karmann Ghia). However he said if he had some guide line info, it'll be much easier.

I'm not planning on a chop anytime soon, however for the rest of us drooling over your chops, we'll like to know. Or at least I would!!! Is there any plans out there? LOL..


There's only two guys who really know all the "secrets" to chopping a Fiero... one is obviously V8Archie who has done pretty much all the well-known ones, then Orville out in California has done some interesting chop'd projects. And then there's also Driven Visions here in Minnesota - who was starting his own recently and is learning as he goes: http://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum2/HTML/045869.html ...but there are no "plans" available - so yeah, you could say they're rather "confidential"

As for what's going on with GTGeff and his new toy "Stinger" - he's been doing lots of cleaning and a few minor changes & revisions here and there... and then he showcased the car with our MFF booth at the Mpls World of Wheels show: http://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum1/HTML/039932.html

Looking for Fiero posters?

Thanks Rob!

Here yeah go Curly wasn't sure if you wanted an updated sig or not but I was bored anyway.


*BUMP* & Sweet! Glad to see that it worked out as intended!

BTW: I thought everyone would probably get a kick out of this old pic now that MadCurl's car is "done"

Oh yeah... I know he mentioned along the way that he was considering selling it - but I also recall he mentioned thinking of doing a 3800 or V8 swap. Wonder what he's up to now...?

i usually try to never say anything bad about someone else' car, but in this case,...

Every time i see that red chop top gone wrong it's like someone scraping a chalkboard with fingernails.

You have to be lying flat on your back to drive that thing !

It's not that difficult to do. It just takes time.
