Don't want to post too much and spoil the open house, hehehe.

Anyway my main purpose of the visit was to sit down with Dean and go over some stuff for #4.

Let me tell you i thought Orlando traffic was a beast, ....it is a joke compared to Atlanta traffic,...WOW.

In fact right before i got to Dean's shop there was a pretty ugly rollover wreck.





The troopers are no joke in Georgia either, those guys were everywhere ! They looked like they were playing video games standing on the side of the road picking off cars !

Was not hard to find Dean's shop, thank god for navigation (what the heck did we do before ??).



When i first walked up the front offices were all dark and it looked like the place was closed and i was like huh ??

Then some guys from Atlanta performance stepped out of the shadows hehe and walked me to the back and thru the shop door and Wham,..now we were talking ! Music was cranking and whodeanie and crew were hard at work.







The shop is HUGE !

Hung out first in the work area with all the lifts, and tools, then Dean took me over to the other side,..and WOW it was like candy land !



just a sneak peek for you guys going to the open house. So many cool projects gong on.

Now about #4,........

Found #4 snuggled back in a corner next to Dean's own lambo roadster and FierociousGT's widebody choptop.



from there Dean showed me the engine swap and a couple other things like the frontal battery relocation.



One of the things i had been unsure on was the hood scoop, but a closer in person inspection, erased all doubts !





I am really, really not a hood scoop type person, but trust me it looks way better in person than it does in pics, and Whodeanie and i discussed ways to make it flow with the car perfectly.

Among the many other mods we mapped out were the installation of the RX-8 style mirrors like Dave has here on his widebody choptop.



a side by side comparison of the stock ones and the RX-8 mirrors.



The RX-8 mirrors look absolutely amazing on a fiero, so much more modern and complimentary.

Fell in love with these wheels at a Supercar rally in Orlando today.



They are Vellano wheels, and very, very similar (different brand) to the ones i have picked out.



The only thing on this particular brand, the owner said he has had clear coat problems and has had to send the wheels back three times for recoating !!



Still they were totally drool worthy and the best looking wheels at the gathering IMO.
