Tech Tips, Tech Questions / Air tube intake restoration

« on: May 03, 2024, 08:59:43 pm »

It seems as if every air intake tube I have ever seen, including mine, appears dry and "sooty" when touched. Is there a good way to restore these and hopefully make them last a little longer?

General Fiero Discussion / Evel Knievel and 3 Fieros

« on: February 18, 2024, 09:34:57 pm »

I’m watching Vegas Rat Rod on the Motor Trend channel right now and they go to a storage yard which I guess is owned by the family of Evel Knievel. His son Kelly is showing the Knievel dragster but the first scene is a quick shot of 3 Fieros.

Tech Tips, Tech Questions / Starter upgrade

« on: May 05, 2023, 07:19:42 am »

It looks like the starter on my GT is going bad and needs to be replaced. I read all the posts and watched YouTube videos to educate myself on the swap. I got the TYC gear reduction unit from Amazon that Jason and others on Pennocks have used. There were no shims with the starter. I assume this could be a problem as it looks like they usually need shimming. Any suggestions/comments? Thanks

General Discussion / Happy Easter on a "working weekend"

« on: April 09, 2023, 07:35:17 pm »

Hope everyone had a happy Easter and were able to spend the day with family and friends. My daughter and I went to mass this morning and then I had to bring her to work. My wife is working a double shift so I figured I might as well go to "work."

I got my GT back and have been putting it back together - and fixing the little things the body shop broke. Every time I have gone to a Pull-A-Part I always grab some nuts, bolts, screws, fasteners, etc. Those little bags of odds and ends have saved me!

My daughter and son in law have both accepted jobs in New Orleans and will be moving back in July. Can't wait to have them back but I will miss my trips to Atlanta. I had really expected to make more trips to ATL to visit and make some meetings but with COVID and hurricanes, unfortunately that has not happened. I do plan to make one more meeting before she moves, I hope.

Again hope everyone's Easter was happy.

Tech Tips, Tech Questions / GT rear lenses

Looks like I will be getting my 87 back from my painter soon. He ended up doing a full panel off paint job and is buffing it out now. I hope to be able to start doing the things I want to do to it soon. I have a set of the new tail light lenses to put on. What have you guys used for the adhesive?

General Discussion / Happy New Year (we are all addicted)

« on: January 01, 2023, 04:34:18 pm »

I hope everyone has had a safe and happy New Year.  I know we are all addicted to our Fieros but I may have gone over the edge. I think my addiction may have now  been transferred to my younger daughter. We drove 100 miles on New Year's Eve, one way, to check out an '85 just arrived at a Pull-A-Part "just to see!" And it was her idea!

Praying we all have a fulfilling 2023.

Tech Tips, Tech Questions / RW upholstery

« on: September 25, 2022, 03:18:42 pm »

I really like the look of Russ's stitched vinyl covers for the HVAC surround, gauge pod and shifter surround and am considering getting some. The question I have is how well do the plastic trim pieces fit? Do they tend to "stick up" because they can't sit flush due to the vinyl covering? I have found some pictures in PFF but was curious if anyone here has had experience with his vinyl wrapped pieces.

General Discussion / Dim light at the end of a long tunnel

« on: September 04, 2022, 10:59:04 am »

I dropped off my 87 GT back to the mechanic/body shop after picking it up several months ago. It was in the shop for repairs because my garage literally fell on it during Hurricane Ida 1 year ago. The owner wasn't able to start work on it because he lost his body guy and couldn't find a replacement. I am hoping for completion by Thanksgiving. If I don't get it back soon I may have to start on another project! Mustangs?
