When would be a good time to bring the GBCT up for some work??????
What cars are you taking to the WOW show ?
|
|
Can't sell the Yellow Stinger until I've built it's replacement.  I could work on the GBCT next May, but You'd need to drop it off in January so I can test drive it for a few months. Seriously, give me a call and, depending on what you need, we can work it in during the next 2 months.

Boy, nothing gets by you guys does it? You guys find everything in those pictures don't you? I built, drove & sold my V-8 powered Z car a long time ago before I ever did a V-8 Fiero. On the dash thing, lets just say that everything I have in that shop is Fiero related.

|

Yes it is, just finishing it up for a guy in CA. It's a real nice GT, he is going to do the paint etc. after he picks it up Jan. 6th. He monitors this Forum but hasn't joined yet. You guys ought to talk him into joining up. Come on Curley, join us! Before & After pics.   Archie

Not this year.... when you build a car like that you never want to get rid of it. And to build another one without selling the 1st one gets way too expen$ive. Besides the Stinger isn't quite done yet. I've got several new things to do to it in Feb.

Thank You. I'm not really trying to sell the PPE right now. I want to hang onto it until Spring, so I can take it to the drag strip to see what it actually can do. Then I'll get serious about selling it.

The only thing else that happened today that I can report on is that the NIFE WOW Show Fiero Chassis was worked on by the NIFE Board. Here it is so far.....  Clockwose from the top.... Lady Pegasas, Pegasas, PaulV (Membership Director), Jim Hallman (President of NIFE), Rich Benanti (NIFE VP) & That's Carl "Haze" over there by the driver's door. I hope this is entertaining. Archie

Sounds like a Conundrum to me. Looks like you'll be holding on to the Stinger for a while. I need to get one of my cars up to your shop soon. You do awesome work.

sweet, i was just gonna ask what color did you decide to paint the Fino. That color looks awsome, especially with the silver taillight surround. Now it needs a 4th gen firebird dash!  ------------------

Archie,
Are there any mods required to the windshield wipers on a chop top or do you just use a lot of rain-x? Thanks!

The wipers don't need to be modified. Rain-x doesn't work so well on a chop top because the windshield is at such a low angle that, when sitting still, rain that hits the windshield runs up and over the roof.  Archie

Archie,
Thanks for the response and a chuckle! I'm very much interested in having you do a chop top/v8 conversion on my 88 - but - first have to liquefy another asset (70 SS454 LS7 Chevelle) to fund the Fiero madness!
