Welcome to My world .... that's been happening to me with my kitcar for ...oh.....about 4 years now ......

I think you'll approve.......









I also have an appointment to get the big wheels/tires mounted tomorrow morning.

At first when I talked to the guy he said he didn't think he could mount them. Then I sent him pictures of the wheels & he wrote back that they should be able to do it.

Keep your fingers crossed.

Now THAT is looking sexy... very nice work indeed, I love how the body lines flow so well with each other with those headlights... looks like a factory supercar.

Wicked stuff, Archie, wicked stuff...

Words can't express how I feel about the outstanding job you have done Archie.

Thank You Archie for making the NSX pipe dream a reality.

The cool part is now that troyboy has broken the seal, Archie is now seasoned enough to perform it again for someone else who might want it.

Your Welcome.

Thank you for letting us play with expensive parts that I would have been afraid to buy on my own.

I gotta say they look great.

edited to add>>> I gotta add that Rob (the guy who made this happen) really adopted this headlight project & insisted on getting it perfect.

Well, you gotta remember that the modifications that we did to the nose were done to a Figerglass nose. The same mods would be a lot harder to do to a soft plastic Fiero nose.

Well I drove into Chicago today just 7 blocks South of the City center to get Troy's 20x12" wheels fitted with the equally huge rubber he bought.

You'll recall that we had a little bit of trouble previously getting thse units joined together.

No problem this time. I took them to Lee's Foreign Car Service at 727 South Jefferson St., Chicago, IL 60607.

I'm very impressed at how I was treated by everyone there. Let me tell you my story......

I drove around the block twice by the time I realized that there was no place I could park legally. So I stuck my truck into a drive right behind the company truck. I stepped inside & found my contact, Gabriel & he sent the tire expert out with me to unload my truck. By then another employee, returning from a test drive, was tooting for me to move the truck (I was blocking a drive to another building they have there). Anyway, he backed out into the street & I backed out & went around the block again while he pulled his car into the other lot. By the time I returned, this employee had moved the company truck a little forward so I'd have a place to park.

I then hurried inside & asked Gabriel if I could take some pictures of the tires being mounted. He said "Sorry, they're already mounted & we're balancing them now" looking down at one of Troy's assemblies on the balancing machine. So I didn't get any pictures of the tire machine that mounted these babies. But it was a beauty, it made the one Curley showed in another thread look like an antique.

Wow, What service!!!!! I'm gonna send everyone I know there.

I want to give a shout out to:

Gabriel Kenneth <~~~~ Rim & Tire Specialists & to the Manager Jerry Sang I'm really happy with the service I got today.

Now, does anyone want to see what they look like on the car????
