I must be one of those rare Fiero owners, I like my Fiero to look like, well, a Fiero. Or at the extreme end of that, a highly modded Fiero (like yours minus the GAWD AWFUL chop-tops--- sorry, just not my thing).

Dude, you're too late. Shawnbag and Pennock's Sucks and Super Tuner forums have beaten you to it. Your welcomed to bash away on my threads for all of my cars are nothing more than modified Fieros and I'm humble enough to badged as such.





Not even close to the original, but the Ferrari emblems are in place to let all know it's a replica, right?

I'm sure l will get some bad ratings from this thread but.....

Your cars may be badged as Fiero, but you come off as less than humble with your Look at me....Look at me threads. You have some nice examples of modified Fieros but your attitude gets a little old.

I own one of cars you put down..[OK you may never have put down my car but many like it]
you know I still have that lame V-6 in it and I'm still Rollin on 15" wheels. My car was designed to be a Replica of a Pantera 200, a car most people have never heard of. It's not an exact replica as it was designed to be a bolt-on rebody for a Fiero. My car is not considered a Kit Car by the editor of Kit Car Mag. because there was never a Kit sold to build one. My car was hand carved one piece at a time, from each piece a mold was made, than a part was hand laid in each mold. The parts were then bolted on, adjusted, sanded, and painted by one man in his garage. I am not that man but my cars wears a badge in his honor. His name was Don Lee and his car is a 10........and that is where the DL10 Predator comes from.


Now according to Curly's standards my car's pretty lame, but I don't claim it to be anything but a Fiero re-body and I have never taken credit for anything about building the car....... I just wrote a check and I'm good at keeping it clean. I'm sure I have had many more stories and adventures in the Predator than Curly has had in his choppers,you know like I've won over 150 trophies and awards including Best in Class Chicago World of Wheels,Best Re-body at the 25th anniversary, in the coffee table book and DVD, on cover of several magazines and ......... I just don't feel the need to share them as much as he does.


I own another car that's not up to Curly's standards, you know I haven't tweaked it to be mine, it's still has those lame rockers from the 90's on there.


I may be one of the founding members of the choptop club........I'm just not in the click, nobody calls me

Enjoy they cars you have......don't worry about what some-else drives.

Dude, my car is modeled after the GBCT, but I think at the time the previous owner owned it (Falcon). My wheels from the person using "Simmons" wheels (it's somewhere on Pennocks). And quite telling a fib. You know I have you on speed dial, hehe. Seriously, take more pics of the GBCT and share your experiences on the choptop chronicles.

Dude, that is was your fault that you still have the 2.8. You backed out on the deal during the Choptop Reunion when I was going to buy the GBCT and you were going to install the LT1 engine in your other car.

It's not my Fault........it's my Choice to leave the V-6 in the Predator. I have one Fiero with a V-8 I don't need another one. And there was never a deal to back out of......We did talk about me maybe selling you the GBCT but no one wanted to see the GBCT turned into your latest vision.

I'm trying to figure out where my car will end up on this "standard". I've already taken body kits and modified them to what I like. Too costly to attempt a "duplicate" of a exotic car just to never quite be there.
I must admit that I do get confused on the "Standard". If every body panel is removed and modified to where the car can't be recognized, what really is the difference other than the body kit is working towards looking like another specific car? Is there much difference if the drivetrain is completely different, interior is totally different?
Even the new "muscle" cars can be recognized from their predecessors but aren't the same car.
But back on the ORIGINAL subject, soon kits based on Fieros will die because of chassis limitations.

Maybe we can start a thread just for mad curl to bash replicas and replica owners can bash mad curl. I have no idea why he is so insecure that he has to try building himself up by tearing replica owners down. They are two distinctly different approaches to what can be done with a fiero. Both are valid in my opinion. To each his own.

You should be me; the guy will not even acknowledge me or my cars except to bash them or me. He claims to be a Chop top fan but it is only the chops built by his obsession. He disses me just because I'm not a fan of his info commercials for his dream man. To me it is about the cars and we all have likes and dislikes in them. I could care less if someone puts a Ferrari emblem on a Honda. I think you guys are starting to see what I have for years.

PEACE to all even the guys with Ferrari badges on their Toyotas.

Genius but this is already kinda that. He sure is insecure.
