I am actually SpadeCustoms on the board. But my name is Jason.

I do not get on this site to often anymore as it never works correctly for me. My email is spadesluck@gmail.com if you want to get in touch with me. It is also on my website, which is still a work in process.

Contact Jason Spade at www.spadecustoms.com

He's near you, right off GA. 16 in Senoia. You couldn't ask for a better Fiero mechanic. 
...

Exactly my thoughts. And he knows 4.9s very well. He's building one (I think) as I type this.

I'll try to convert and post the flyer.  They meet at the Atlanta Motorsports Park in Dawsonville and the end destination is River Remedy Brewing Company in Rome, Ga.

Dang.  Just now looking at this.  Oh well, I was in Charleston, SC that day. 
BTW, Remedy River is just a few miles down the street from me.  Incredible brewery.

Tech Tips, Tech Questions / Atlanta Area Fiero Mechanic?

« Last post by ScreaminChickn on January 23, 2025, 01:17:46 pm »

I have an 88 with a Pisa XTC GT body kit and a Caddy 4.9L V8.  My son drove this in high school and college, and we took it off the road due to it not running well and having constant over heating issues.  I haven't started it in a few years, but my daughter has advised she wants it to also be her first car.  The paint is gone, but that's something I can work on.  I'm hunting for a Fiero mechanic in the McDonough/Atlanta area that doesn't get eye twitches when I ask if they can work on this car.  I'm pretty sure it needs a head gasket at minimum.  I don't have a lift or any garage space to work on it due to other cars and projects needing to stay inside.  Please let me know if you know of anyone that likes a good repair project and knows the cars enough to not be intimidated by an engine swap.  I have a car trailer and can transport the car, and there's no big rush on this as my daughter doesn't get her license until June, so I would just need it back with enough time to get the paint addressed. Thanks much for any leads you can provide.  I'll add a pic before all of the paint fell off just as a conversation starter... 

Thanks, Chris

The good and the bad when snow falls in New Orleans.

The good:  There are no rolling hills as we have in Georgia to try to climb or try to stop when going down on sheets of ice and snow.

The bad: There are no rolling hills as we have in Georgia to slide down on sheets of cardboard.

And Carrollton/Roopville got... zip. Nada. Bupkis. Just flurries.
But it's colder than a witch's brass monkey. Was 14 degrees when I looked at the thermometer, early this morning. 
Newnan and Franklin (ten minutes south of us) got clobbered, however. It's like the Ice Road Follies.

Good idea with the shrink tubing if I can't find an original. I can't get a reply from the fiero farm or the fiero factory. If I can't get one from Larry Hubbert, I'll go that route.

Also, it would be hard for it to reach unless you got the wrong battery that had the terminals reversed...
