  1. Great looking build and like the "dare to be different" engine choice.
  2. Like the changes to the body. Great paint treatments and interior details.
  3. Beautiful looking paint fade colors and lettering trim.
  4. Great factory looking paint color and finish. Like the interior details.
  5. Great looking tu-tone paint treatment and the colors go well together.
  6. Beautiful paint finishes and color. Loads of engine and chassis details.
  7. Beautiful paint finish and the color is in keeping with the build style. Very nicely done interior with realistic looking finishes.
  8. Great looking color and clean body trim.
  9. Great looking build and the color looks better than the yellow ones that you used to see in the past.
  10. Like the added instrument details along with the radio. The chroming of the dash plate above the steering column was a popular thing as well as the ash tray and even the glove box door if the budget allowed and the owner's teste.
  11. I feel the easily replaceable bulb is the way to go from a cost of ownership and ease of maintenance. The enhanced lighting for nighttime driving is sufficient without any undue expense.
  12. Having been a long-time subscriber to several automotive based magazines, I have often saved the pictures and stories on the ones I liked. I have 6 good sized ring binders full of inspirations for future ideas for builds. Sadly, almost all of such publications are no longer being issued.
  13. Problem solved.
  14. It's hot enough I'm hanging out in the basement with the A/C on only coming upstairs for nourishment.
  15. Was the guy should be wearing a mask?
  16. Glad you're ok, except for maybe feeling bad about yourself. Cars can be replaced, but you may have to do some insurance shopping after this. Hopefully your insurance company doesn't try and short you on the replacement costs for the car.
  17. Story at the dealership level at the time having to do with the Fiero concept. The story goes that the Pontiac division didn't show any prototypes to the GM Brass, wonder how that got that one done, before getting the OK to go to production. The Fiero concept was presented as an economy car with a basic 4-cylinder engine, not mentioning where the engine was located in the car, with the steering rack, as well as other mechanical components, would be shared with the Chevette and standard 4-speed manual and an optional automatic transmission. At the time GM and every other American Automotive Manufacturer were under the gun from the Fed to get their gas milage averages up so anything that sounded like an econobox was popular with those that made such decisions.
  18. Beautiful looking body conversion and paint. Can't wait to see what you do with the left-over parts from this build.
  19. Great looking showroom finishes and trim details. The vinyl roof looks great, and I'm not necessarily a fan of vinyl roofs.
  20. Great bed and body conversion. Like the flat paint color.
  21. Nice Showroom appearance and two-tone paint.
  22. Great looking patina finish. Like the stance and the upgraded drivetrain.
