No real plans for the car yet.

A big thanks to Archie! I got to stop by his shop on the way to visit the Fox Valley boys. He is one of the nicest guys you will meet. He showed me around the shop including his LS powered Solstice....sweet! Looks like it should have been there from the factory. I also got to see his white choptop. Funny...his body mods don't fall off when it goes down the road like mine does... Oh well, I guess that is one big difference between a professional and a con man. He also inspected my choptop. Altough the welds are "there" they aren't pretty but they look safe.

https://www.fiero.nl/forum/F.../HTML/064001-12.html "The front wheels are 18x8 with a 22.2mm+ offset
The rear wheels are 19x11 with a 9.5mm+ offset
Rear tire size is 315-25ZR-19"
** Plus some other tire wheel specs from some other fiero widebodies "
https://www.fiero.nl/forum/F.../HTML/064001-17.html Okay, here are a few of the specs someone asked for many months ago;
----- Original Message -----
#022 (Troy's) fronts are: 19x8.5, 35mm off-set with a 7" inner and 1.5" outer.
#011: Rears are 20x9.5 37.7mm off-set, 7"inners and 2.5" outers.
Caution: #011 is extremly close to the rear strut knockle perch using Ryans suspension (maybe closer than Troy's?. It maybe better to a 38, 39 or better 40mm off-set. Remember I have a 8" rear springs and not the 10" rear springs. I'm not sure of what #013 has on the rear. As you know Archie, you need the shorter springs to clear using Troy's rear set-up.
5/8" worth of clearance between the wheel and the rear strut.

Nope buddy, those aren't our pets. Our pets are a whole lot smarter than to fall for that peanut butter trick.
The one I saw, running off, when it was delievered here was pretty darkly tanned & was dragging a 40# bag of Pot.
Me thinks they started a colony during the 6 years it sat in the TX field at Loydes.

Archie,
No most of those are an error from when I sent out a mass PM to everyone about the door panels being ready...it reproduce the PM like 10 times to everyone and put a bunch of HTML code in the PM as I have been told...not being impatient this time

V8 in this I'm sure. I really need to hit a lottery or something. So many beautiful Fieros and mods that my list keeps growing but not the cash flow.
