More to follow soon.įor the moment, I seem on pace to have the car ready for the 2022 Challenge. I drove it once around the block in celebration. My garage filled with smoke, but it smoked a lot less when running for a while. Yesterday I finished replacing the fuel pump and it ROARED to life. There's not much space to work, but I can walk around it and put it on jack stands. I rolled it into the still overcrowded garage. The Milburn got a new battery, but wouldn't start to drive off the trailer. too many cars to count lined up in the driveway. Four bikes pushed out of the garage and parked in back. It also came with a few boxes of spare and extra parts which I'll itemize as recoup for my Challenge car budget. We pushed the Fiero through the warehouse, then rolled it down the ramp onto my trailer.

The warehouse was full of cars and motorcycles and other portions of Jeff's collection of cool stuff. The Fiero was in the back corner of a warehouse a couple blocks away from the shop. I would have enjoyed the whole day touring around and visiting with Jeff, but I had a car to get and a five hour drive back home. Everywhere I looked there were awesome tools, machines, and memorabilia. Jeff has a 'dream garage' with lifts in front, a machine shop in back and a cafe/bar style man cave upstairs. Last week I drove Tow Pig to Dallas to pick it up. After completing the job, it was parked in a warehouse where it sat until Jeff had time to work on it.Jeff didn't have time and over the years it became obsolete for the job and was replaced by camera bikes. The engine started smoking while shooting a car commercial at Texas Motor Speedway.

Among its credits, it shot scenes for 'Walker Texas Ranger, Trial by Fire', so it's safe to assume that the car is Chuck Norris approved. It is not exactly a race car, but it was built to film chase scenes and car commercials with a low camera mount up front and provisions for other mounts. Hence I have taken to calling this car “The Milburn” after Jeff Milburn, the builder and driver. A painting by Picasso is simply called 'a Picasso'. Works of art are often referred to by the name of their creator. This is a drivetrain, suspension, and seats with a frame.
but wait, this car has been stripped down and built up. Didn't they all catch fire and get crushed in the 90s?. Fiero? I never really cared much for Fieros. I had just bought another Porsche 986 Boxster project a few days earlier and had recently bought an old Honda CR-V to transform into my new Gambler 500 rig before seeing this Fiero for sale on the forum.
