Thanks Rob!

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


Man, both pics are great. Reality's is straight and to the point and XRacer Pro is more "blade runner" like? Hmmmm.......?

Thats guys.

Chronicles updates: On my way to Bakersfield CA to check on the fiero Redux, I stop in Morgan Hill to get some gas. In doing so, a nice guy heard the V8 as I down shited into a lower gear. He later followed the roar and glanced at the car. He's jaw nearly hit the ground. He's daughter said that the car was a exotic or something? Here dad said, why does it say Pontiac in the back then?

Well you all know the rest. 15 minutes later he learned several new names that day, V8Archie and D1S. He was shocked when i told him that there are faster and prettier looking fiero than mine and one with a "targa top." Hello!

Hmmm....everybody has thier pics, however the "Dirty Rats is on a mission" and he ain't finished yet. I've been following his thread since he started and one can "see" where his car is headed. Black/pearled and flamed out and sport'n a targa should make his car look "black knight-ish" and true "race car-ish"? Also His engine compartment is all chromed out comparred to mine.

Mine is a little more "laid back-ish" or "bling-ish." One car looks like it's ready get onto the track and the other one looks like it's headed down PCH. Everthing else is just a toss-up, but one thing is for sure, GM should be proud of those who take their Fiero to higher limits.

News Flash!!!!!!!!

Choptop gets thumbs up from the import crowd.

A friend of mine posted the site of Pennock's Fiero Forum on their web page. It's like Pennock's but just imports. I was thinking nothing of it until he told that they all approved. He mentioned that I should put it into the upcomming Hot Import Night show in San Mateo CA.

I declined, due to it needing a paint, trunk, and interior carpeting.

i just came back from lunch (2nd shift) and got a compliment on my convertible from some young guys. not sure how sincere it was but it's nice to think young people like it anyway.

What is the round-about figure for the cost of having Archie chop your top? i.e. How much does he charge?

about 4 K,... a little more for paint, a little less if you do the interior.

i have neither of either (working on my rap skills). i had pic capability for a short time and lost it again. there are pics of both in the archives. there are chop top pics from where fierodave was first selling it. he got it in a deal of a bunch of fieros and parts and no one seems to know who did the chop. i've made some changes but it shows how i got it. it's gonna be different from anyone elses, good or bad, cause so many unusual things were done that i can't and/or don't want to reverse. if i ever get to the point of showing it expect plenty of "ricer" comments.

the convertible pics are in the archives also. kind of blurry (like i said, i had pic capabilty for so short a time i never got good at it). i think in about three threads. some that were posted for me, some from when i put wire wheels on it (yes, they're a normal size and offset. people seem to automaticly think up the worst image they can), and some in the tech archives from a top down passenger compartment cooling project.

some semi good news is i'm moving soon. so while i anticipate being really broke, i'm hoping i can at least have a place to work on adding the parts i have for the chopper already.
