Can you brag that you are so caught up in the Fiero life style, that you were working on your Fiero at a crazy late hour time? Please let every know how late you were still working on your car? Who told you to come back in the house? What were you working on that it just could not wait another day?

Sincerely,

Kevin J. Sullivan

I have TWICE been working on my Z34 at midnight or near it, and the next thing I know I wake up at 8:00am, laying on my creeper with engine fluids still dripping onto my shirt.

Its kinda freaky...

Yeah,

No where near 3 months straight, but I can pull all nighters like no other - just ask Fiero X. Especially when I get "zoned" on a project. My sig says it all.

I can definitely relate to the zone...3 a.m. pulling 4.9 from donor car (sawzall is our friend, wiring harness and other components MUCH easier to access without pesky fenders in the way).

My Fiero lives 3 hours north of where I live, so when I get a chance to work on it I take advantage of it. I had 3 days straight to work on it and 2 of the 3 days I worked 10 am until 4 am. With 2 or 3 hours in between for food.

Yeah, that was a lot of Fiero'ing...

As a normal thing I don't hit the sack till 3 or 4am just to get up at 7a and start over, been at it this way for 5 years now. I can go all night just as easy. heck once I've pulled hmmm let's see started friday morning wake up went till Tuesday afternoon at 7pm for a total of 107 hrs. Holy Crap! Once done I slept for 14 hrs. Don't recomend it to any one.

Now I just pull all nighters for the heck of it like I did last Saturday night. As a matter of fact it's after 3A right now.

I used to work till sunup - longest was when I painted my first fiero - I got home from work friday - and started pulling body panels - prepped and painted all weekend and finished putting the body back on the car just in time monday morning to shower and go to work

these days I don't work on it past 10pm or the wife gets pretty sad about being left alone

I've pulled a couple of all nighters putting trannies in (the 2.8 ate isuzu's) it was kinda weird looking out of the garage and seeing no activity . I would always be paranoid that the cops would show up and tell me to go inside and quit making noise. ..............................................cricket.........cricket....cricket....................................................
