Saw this car this past spring at Daytona, it was in the back of the field away from the competitors.

Looks like a very sweet project,..was just wondering who it belonged to and if it was now finished.

I am interested to see how it looks painted.

Nobody knows ?????

The owner apparently is from florida.

The owner of that car is John Parks. He is a member of Suncoast Fieros of Tampa Bay. Yes he is Ed Park's son. I believe he has a 3.4 in it soon to be a 4.9.
Hope this helps you out.

That spoiler is the original style. Most the ones I can find now a day only come halfway.

Is this the same car that was at RFTH recently ??

Anybody who was there got any more pics of it ?? http://www.photoreflect.com/scripts/prsm.dll?eventorder?photo=04RK001A0A0079&start=0&album=0&adjust=-1

Yes it is. John has moved up the chain. At least it all primer gray.
Yes the body mods do look sweet!

He is running the 4.9 now also.

Ron or anybody,

Do you know what rims those are he is rocking and what size they are ?

Ron got any pics of his car from your meetings ?

Does he have a PFF BOARD NAME ?

Hi Exoticse and others,
Sorry about such a late response; I've never posted before now and haven't been here for some time.
I am not running the 4.9 yet! And the paint job is almost finished. Ron Hale got a sneek peek and a few close friends and family saw some 'in progress' pic.'s. The final results will be posted when the paint is done.
The wheels took me six months to find! Being an '88 was the hassle. Different front and rear widths. Mine are Konig Tantrums 17"; 8" in rear and 7" in front with 40mm offsets---no rubbing even though it's lowered about 1.5"
Yes, it started out as an '88 - Formula at that! With much coercing from my Dad, Ed Parks, he turned it into what my vision had been.
Well that is it for now. Should be ready by mid-week next.

Thanks for all the comments.
JP

I'm sorry if I misinformed about the 4.9. Man!!! , I sure thought everybody was looking at it at the RFTH8 , even tho I never got up there to your car when everybody was gathered round, Coulda swore I heard someone say you had the 4.9 in it. Geeez , Sorry.Guess I never heard it running either. Duh!!!

Hey John!
Good to see you here.

What color is the "finished product" going to be? Or is that a secret?

Nice job on the wheels. Hard to find 17s in "staggered" widths.

John, you are right I did get a sneak peak of your car. All I'm going to say is "AWESOME" What a great idea! I'm not sure if it is the paint scheme or just the fact that it will all be painted soon. I'm so used to seeing it red, primer gray with black parts, etc etc... You have got one great looking car. Your secret is yours to unveil.

I am going to get me one of those tail fins though. I've got a 87 SE that it would look great on.

WELCOME BACK John,

glad to see you back on the forum. Been trying to track down you and your car for months !

Great body styling by the way love everything including the rims.

Can't wait to see the final paint job. I was not a big fan of that spoiler until I saw it on your car, now I am considering getting one.

OK guys,
Here's some shots of my car completed!!

Wow, that is really cool! So many neat modifications. I dig the old school GTO type taillights and the louvered rear fascia and the center exit exhaust and the paint graphics and the hood vents and... whew, I'm running out of breath. Nice car, man.

Glad to see you got her finished, John! Looks great!

Love the paint job !!! The tail lights remind me of the GTO style used on the 67's (?)

Good job !

That's good to hear. Those guys have had some bd press in the Fiero world and maybe a few more good recommendations like yours can bring them back into good graces.

I absolutly L O V E that paint job!!!

Kudos to you!!

I want to move the exaust on my 87 to the center, what did you use to fill in the cutaways on the facia from the old location?

we made the filler piece for Johns car and now sell it. It is a fiberglass piece that fits over your original bumper cover and is bonded on. It is a solid piece so you can do whatever you want to it.

Bill, how much for the set?

Like I said when i first started this thread I love this car, a very sweet project, but I have to admit when i first saw the paint job, i was horrified !

I thought John what have u done to such an awesome car,...then I began to study the paint job a lot closer, and it started becoming more and more appealing.

It's not something I would choose for my tastes, but it is still an outtanding and sharp looking paint job !

Good Job John and B&B !!

What a diffference a year makes ! I first made this post last year after Daytona and here we are again 12 months later to give an update.

Awesome paint job ! Got to see the finished product live and in person at 2004Daytona, and it was more than impressive.

If you think it looks gaudy on screen, you will quickly change your mind when u see it in person.

Definatly a keeper.
