(spelling aside) Well ladies and gents the tylers toy is "close" to being done. Went over it today and found a few things we forgot on the interior. Fire extingwisher, Blue dingy thingy mounting plate, and a few other things. Im leaving tomorrow night for home so me and 87auntuzzi (Funny story) Are going to do a few things. I have already burped the collent system And tomorrow im going to see about getting new rad caps and a thermostat. Everyone out here dide an amazing job. Words cannnot discribe how beautiful this car looks. After all of you left Dave let me take the car around frazee to see if the collent system is operating right, And wow We set out to create a new Pontiac fiero and by god we did it. Me and tyler took a ride around frazee with with a microphone wired to the both of us and word cant express how much he loves this car. He said everything is more than what he expected he could not ask for more. He had a smile that reached from ear to ear on his face the whole ride through Frazee. You guys we went out to make tylers dream come true and did so much more. We lifted his spirits as well as the town of Frazee. We were only working on a car but the meaning and principal of tylers dream team spread way beyond just a car. I thank all of you from the bottom of my heart for letting me be a part of this nothing less than a mericale. Tyler I hope this amazing work of art brings you many years of fun excitement and enjoyment God knows you deserve it. And to the people of frazee, Thank you for letting us into your town and your hospitality. And to the build team. You guys are a great bunch of people, You guys are all a perfect example of what our fourm is about and I enjoyed every min working with all of you, God was on our side from start to finish of this masterpiece.
Thank you all so much for your support your time your contributions and your prayrs. All of us not just the build team made this possable.

PK86...you have become something of a Star on PFF. You ride the jibes about your spelling and grammar and punctuation, your ebullient spirit just can't be doused, and your enthusiasm for helping in this wonderful project has won a place for you in many people's hearts, mine included. You are a young man, and part of a new generation who, hopefully, will be able to carry the adoration of this little old car right through the next 25 years. I am not putting you above anybody else who was there, but you just added a little bit of lustre from a true rough diamond. Well done! Of course, we owe Andy (Hulki) a debt of gratitude for having set the ball rolling, and Synthesis (Chris) just picked it right up, kept it all together and did a wonderful job collating and leading the Dream Team. The incredible enthusiasm shown by so many people with donations of parts, time, labour and money to ensure Tyler's dream would come true are something to be recommended for EVERYBODY to witness, learn from and copy. It IS a unique event, but there is nothing to stop this type of Humanity surfacing and being applied to ALL walks of Life, and I hope such an example as seen here will be copied more and more; fulfilling OTHER people's dreams before their own.
To everybody who was there, working and donating dedication, love, and just good ol' plain enthusiasm.....thank you for your incredible efforts. And to the People who are the proprietors of the venue where the work was carried out, I trust you will NEVER be short of clients for ever!! Cliff Pennock. Although you could never have envisaged such an event coming to fruition through and BECAUSE of, your Forum, you must be thanked by all for having started, and maintained this Forum. It is, and has been, a lifeline to comfort, stimulation, sharing and good, plain old FRIENDSHIP. I know I have more, and BETTER friends here, than I have ever had in 'Real' life, and I just can't tear myself away from the darned place!! God Bless each and every person who has been touched, and has reached out and touched so many people. Long may it continue. Nick and Ellie.

You really came through on this one Rick. I will give you a hell of a lot of credit here. When you first joined PFF, I never thought you would be here this long with the run-on sentences and grammar. You proved me wrong and many other members here have gained a hell of a lot of respect for you. You helped out in a very big way with this project and I'm sure everyone on here appreciates your talents and kindness. Thanks for EVERYTHING you did on this one.

Just to let you guys know that there were a few guys on the dream team who are not members of the forum. They heard about it throgh Minnesota Fieros Forever car club and showed up just to help. I suspect there will be more coverage of Tyler as one news channel was doing a feature story. They were there all weekend talking with folks and getting film. At first they couldn't "get" why the Fiero? untill almost everyone had said the car is an excuse the people are the reason . After awhile I think they understood. Great job everyone.

Don't lie I heard you snoring in CA. Or at least through antuzzi.
PunkKid86 I hope this is not the last time I see you around. You did a great job of knitting the group together and keeping people entertained. Aside from the breaking of stuff...
Oh--if ya want, Mr. [sigh] I have some nice pics of you-- PK--- that I could put up--you weren't hard to pick out at all.
I believe, I have a full page screenshot of different ppl purposely imitating your unique posting style from the chat too. good job Kid! (Now go learn how to spell.)

Lol, yea...He was the one stuffing his face every 5 minutes
All joking aside, great job to all of you. Good to see the community helping out another member like this. Had I known about the thread and the build before yesterday morning, I'd have volunteered my time to help wrench on the car too.
On another note, is it still possible to get a skull cap and t shirt?

Though some may have picked on you about breaking something (toilets, starters, etc. ), you brought something else to the build besides your know how about the Fiero. Don't take this the wrong way, but you were a "jester" for everyone. By that I mean you brought some much needed laughter to a stressed environment.

Carbon--was that you in the eng compartment for soooo long?
That was Shawn Yoraway aka Purple Reign... he rode in on his GSX-R 1000 at 10:00AM was in the trunk by around 11:00AM and seemed never take a break until around 4:00AM the next day. Everyone put in huge hours on this and Shawn wasn't the only one in the engine bay during the build, but he definately donated blood to this project.
Sadly I am not nearly the mechanic of a lot of the people that were there... all I was really able to solidly contribute was to install Speedhut reverse glow gauge faces and recalibrate them. There were many times that I wish I had more skills to offer... but my bald head was on live camera more times than it needed to be...

Hello to all ........ What can I say I'm total floored with the work that has been done to make one young mans dream come true .... I wanna thank you all, it was a privilege to work with you ... The weekend was a blast except for only one event ... the $htheads who spammed and flooded the video live chat ... believe me I have their IPs, phone numbers and street adresses ..just like "Mr Shaun" they are real trouble makers with no sense of respect for anything ... lowlifes at their best ..... one day I will settle this.... Hulki, you my friend are the image of what makes the USA so proud and great and free. Anytime you ever come to my homeland PLEASE contact me Synthesis, if you ever need a tech or any type of helping hand ........I would be honored to work with you ANYTIME !!!! Tyler and Family I will maintain your website as long as you like... the domaine name will always be yours and as long as you want it....your are to me what courage, love and respect is all about .... and as in my letter to you Daneele & Jay our home (Helene & I) will always be opened to you and your family anytime any when... Dream Team, you guys showed what determination is all about my hat is off to all of you........ PK smile you are one awsome dude!! For all the others who gave time money and parts it makes me proud to be part of this Fiero family.... you have taught me a valuable lesson ..... BELIEVE
Lol im going to crawl back into PA. I have pains in places I dident even know I had.
I will bet you find sandblasting media in places that you did'nt know you had before.
Thanks for keeping us entertained. With out you, we would have had to pick on somebody else. Thanks for taking the blame for whenever something went wrong and allowing us to take the credit for fixing it.
You really desereve to be proud of your contibution to build Tyler's dream. Who would have thought that a punk kid from PA would offer that kind of dedication to help out another Fiero guy in a time of need.
I agree, all of you guys did an amazing job, it's almost like we are now looking a totally different Fiero then the one you started with. I only wish I could have been there to help out any way I could, and see the smile on Tyler's face.

I don't know how i missed all of this until now, but i wanted to just send out my kudos to all of you that were involved.
I don't think there is another bunch of people that would have gone this far to help out a fellow 'team mate'. Makes one proud to be a part of this community ( even in my rather tiny corner of it )
Well guys just got home and i am beat/ I will be sleeping for the next few days . you guys are great. I think its safe to say we all made new friends and really mad history here on PFF. My hat is off to all of us.
