Trent hasn't posted lately on this forum. Is he OK and still wrenching? He has lots of stuff to offer the Fiero community but the lack of posts has me wondering.

Yes, I’m still very much involved in Fiero work, probably more than ever. I’ve just been buried in the shop between multiple engine swaps, learning how to provide better quality fiberglass parts for the community, and ongoing restoration work unfortunately so it’s been nose to the grind until I’m caught up or have help. It’s been tough to keep up with everything and still find time to post regularly, but I haven’t gone anywhere, I’m just focused on what’s in front of me until I am caught up, I’ve also been working on expanding my fabrication capabilities, taking on more complex builds, and working on hopefully one day getting consistent help in the shop so I can eventually share more progress with the community again. Appreciate you thinking of me, I’ll try to post more updates soon, I just have bigger priorities now 😌

Hope all is well with your projects too.

Good to hear that things are going good on your end. Missed your thoughtful and informative posts. While I no longer take on Fiero work, fully understand how collector and custom cars can be overwhelming. Only down to three personal projects and let me tell you it's time consuming especially with the fabrication needed for finishing off the Ragtop. There are not many Fiero shops left so the few that remain (of which you are one) are important to the community. Thanks for posting, keeping in touch and have a great day

Hi All,

This is just a general shout out to Trent, who is doing a lot of great work for me on my 88 Formula! He is continuing to add to the inventory of molds he has to make custom fiberglass parts and anyone looking to personalize your car should reach out to him.

Thank you Trent for all of your help and hard work!
