- Well that isn't true. I know her very well. Well, that isn't true either, because the car is a him, not a her. The Fiero is my boy. I love him very much. But, am still going to primim.

Heyooo! If you want the cool Fingerprints Workshop shirt with my Fiero on the back of it, you can snag one from my Teespring store! I hope everyone enjoyed this video though. Thanks for sticking around to see my journey with this thing. We're almost to the finish line. If you want to be kept up to date on progress, I post update pics over on Instagram. And if you want to get even more in depth updates and videos released early, I have a Patreon if you're into that thing. Links to all these things in the description.
Love you guys.
Ohh goooooosshhhhhhh,i really thought that your gonna paint the parts in this video,I still can't binge watch this series 🤦
i was a little sad cuz i thought there weren't gonna be any more fiero episodes until you announced that there will be more and now im happy
It's a labor of love man and you sure have put in the labor!! Personally, I look forward to these videos so I'm not at all disappointed that there are more episodes coming up. Thanks for taking the time! She's looking good!!
Been here since you pulled this car out of its grave. Its been fun watching your vids. You have a nice way of editing and going about the vids. Thank you for all your time and effort youve put into everything. The progress youve made is amazing. Cant wait for the car to be finished so you can drive it and show it off! Thanks again for the content.
This video is way better than al the corvette C8 and lambo stuff poppin up on youtube! Love the fiero and this build. Just a home, backyard tought mechanic building things. Just like myself! Awesome channel man! Love it!! Take a look at mine if you wand to! 😉
Imagine knowing that you put your car together better than GM did. Keep up the great work!
Maybe there's potential for a crossover in the future??? 😏 😉
This comment had me rolling laughing! 😂😂😂
They just let anybody in this comment section nowadays! Ya know, cause here I am and stuff. Anywho, good to see the famous people come out in support. Good on ya, Tavarish.
I don’t think it’s much of a feat to put any car together better than GM, but I appreciate the sentiment :)
You know your project is a sucess when Tavarish comes and says hi =D
Dude, don’t apologize for the “extra” episodes. Hell, make 40 Fiero episodes ... we’ll watch.
My favorite car!! 350!!!
@EOeoeofeo So says the internet peanut gallery
I would. No complaints here.
@ResslerFarms right? It's so addictive to watch someone's passion project, I don't care how long the series was planned to be.
EOeoeofeo no. It should be done when it’s done. Not when you feel it’s done
"Because it's so even, undistur- JUNE BUGS..." 🤣🤣🤣
I was wondering what he said at this part
I love how this is the only car restoration that I've been emotionally invested on, there's just so much personality and depth with this series that I can't help but feel invested in car which feels like a character in of itself. I also like how you're restoring the Fiero not because its a cool car, but because of what it means to you, which completely adds to the experience. I showed this series to my dad who works in car restoration and the first thing he said was "Who the hell restores a Fiero?". Goes to show just how much the car means to you at this point. Thank you for bringing us along for the emotional roller coaster that has been this car restoration!!
Exactly the same thing my dad said when I showed him 😂 (me and him restore cars together in our spare time)
Check out Scott's Fury project on his channel coldwarmotors. Much to be learned from him.
Best part is he's not cutting corners or trying to shave off time he's doing everything and extra to this csr prolly gunna be the best fiero in the world. Watch him turbo it afterwards lol
@@Reaniman99 if he turbo or supercharges that would be unreal
@@brandonstephenson5834 yes haha I feel like he won't be able to help himself when he's finally finished he could show what the fiero was meant to be before Pontiac scrapped it
I envy the person who gets to watch this build as one long movie
seriously, i think i stumbled in at ep2... little did i know it would be a long waiting game...
albeit, well worth it....
On the other hand, it's fun having something to look forward to. :)
@@MrDiva480 Yes, it is a long waiting, and it is well worth it
I agree
@@RozzRam72 Compared to Bad Obssesions' Binky, this is nothing! Another couple of episodes and we're on to the next project.
Honestly if this takes 40 episodes I feel like most of us will still be here to watch it.
There’s something about your channel that is so different than others. Your commentary and ability to teach people on top of all of the work is what makes you, in my opinion, one of the best, if not the best UA-cam channels. I’m not one to be excited for an episode to come out for anyone but every time I see this fiero I find myself watching it through without skipping even 10 seconds. Your humor gets me too, I was cracking up. Kudos and thank you for the content you make.
Thank you for the pin👍
"This is our shop now" -Overspray, probably
It just is. It's literally THE Overspray.
The 10 people who disliked this aren’t done hand sanding yet.
60 grid, Colin. 60 grid. Perhaps 40. ;-)
Bruh, I havent started yet :(
they were the ones who actually had blue balls lmao
Oh, did you say "future project vehicleS", plural? That's AWESOME
Miguel Celano Menezes de Almeida HELL YEAH!!!
He can finally restore his fathers 1968 oldsmobile 442
If you look on the board he showed, it had:
Mustang
GPZ
I hope with new projects and more views he can grow like goonzquad, but only when he want that.
Yes. It will be 2 more Fieros
“ Every car has a story. “
Yeah, my BMW e46s grills are hot glued onto my hood by the previous owner.
I bought an e46 with 151k miles and the engine light on..Thought I was getting a steal at $4500..
My Plymouth Satellite has felt and strips of crochet hotglued all over the seats, door panels, and roof by one of its previous owners. Also the pristine factory metallic green paint was rush jobbed over with a cheap white paint that’s led to THE MOST body rusted and paint chipped car I’ve ever driven or owned.
It is true, every car WILL have a story.
Phillip Glass My e46 has a different cluster from another car, my headlights are zip tied, half of my head liner is cut off and missing and I got 2 cylinders misfiring.
And I thought $2000 for the car was a good deal.
I love this series. Reminds me of rebuilding a wrecked Mustang with my dad in high school. All of the same steps (other than the engine work - the 5.0 was still running great,) but the interior, body, and paint work. Sanding... SO much sanding. But in the end, not only was every flat surface in the garage slightly pink (like yours is about to be - all that red overspray,) and not only did I have one of the coolest cars in town, but I had the priceless experience of getting to know my dad at a level that probably wouldn't have been otherwise possible - we just didn't have a lot in common, but man we both loved working on that car.
I don't like sanding. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere.
But you might end up being a Jedi and get the Queen! Light saber > sanding!

"its over Anakin! I have the high build!" "you underestimate my primer."
Listen anikan
@John Smitty So then you have no frame of reference here, Donny, You're like a child who wonders in the middle of movie.
I rarely ever comment on UA-cam videos but I have to say that this has been by far the best vehicle re-build series I have ever watched on UA-cam to this day, this series could have been 30 parts and it still wouldn't have mattered to me. All your work, the funny edits and everything in general has made it such a blast to watch and enjoy so with that said, good job man.
Couldn't agree more, love the series. Great work!
"just needs some paint"
Holy shit. This sums up everything when it comes to cars.
not being said:
Lots of sanding
Lots of priming
Lots of dry time
Lots of sunshine
Lots of 'some paint'
Lots of clear coat
...aaand lots of choice words.
This entire series is a love letter to what the fiero should've been and only was in its last years of life
Why do I feel like I'm gonna cry like a child when this car is done
I feel you. I have felt like a small child on christmas morning every time I've seen that a new episode had arrived.
We all will cry..
It's a labor of love!
Ye
You should just roll the odometer back to zero when you’re done LOL!
Jared Jeanotte And glue it with epoxy.
*looks at the blurred future projects* "is that a...... IS THAT A...... nah i have no idea what it is"

@@topcatti360 oh you're right!
Don't apologize for a project taking longer than planned man. You went from: "Egh, I'll just make it presentable." to: "You know what? This thing deserves an overhaul!" That attitude is why people are still so invested in this series.
"Whenever you don't feel like doing any more sanding, just remember that sanding is fun."
-My older brother, a carpenter.
Am I the only one who was genuinely glad that this is NOT the last episode..?
Me too! I hope this project take a longer time (in the good way)
i do too
You don't have to apologise to anyone, any person who's worked on an old car has been there, knows an anticipated weekend Job can end up taking weeks, newly discovered failed parts, extra orders, shipping time, life and work getting in the way so many setbacks . this series is the best thing on UA-cam to me and I look forward to each installment, love your presentation, tone, editing and music choices it all works so well and is so relaxing to watch. Who'd have thought after working on my own restoration all day, that this would be my favorite way to relax.
You are a credit to UA-cam and anyone discovering love of old cars and restore them.
Just wanted to let you know that this whole series has inspired me to do the same thing! Recently purchased a 1998 Jeep Cherokee sport, with a manual trans, Chrysler 8.25 rear end, NP231 T-case, and a whole bunch of other really desirable goodies. I’ve seen so many beat up XJ’s, so I’ve decided that this one would be a pretty great long term project to restore and modify to become a cross-continent traveler!
I don't ever want this to end. I'm too emotionally invested in the Fiero now... thanks Ronald...
When can I drive the car?
What a journey this has been.
its not even over yet lmao
Dude...DO NOT apologize to anyone for how long it takes you to realize this dream. The ones complaining are typically the ones who would or have never taken on a project such as this. I've been following your story, from the beginning. You've done such an amazing job with everything. Keep up the great work. I know that the reward will be worth it.
Idk about anyone else, but I’d much prefer if the series never ended at all. Thanks for all the inspiration!
33:50 "As smooth as.... **frantic typing*.. *quick scrolling** .... ehm.. onion skin" That made me laugh out loud! :D
I was sure it was going to be "a baby's bottom". Did not expect onions! :D
Next episode: so I decided that the shifter was too rusty
We all just know its going to happen 😂
The only comment thats made me audibly laugh.
Good work. Nice reminder as to why I've never done body work. Watching your videos is enough experience for me. Fill, sand, prime. Fill, sand, prime. Fill, sand, prime. Fill, sand prime
Not gonna lie, when the video was ending and the car wasn't painted yet I was pretty bummed lol but the way you talked about it and that cold start "orgasm" brought me to my senses haha thank you for doing this series and working so hard. That car is looking better and better each episode and you know what, more videos means more content for us!
Happy Wrenching man.
The June Bugs were just having fun. They were in their.........prime.
bruh
-_-
Definitely ate your words on that one lmfao ronnie: "few weeks"
fiero: ha got em
I think they were Nick Blackhurst weeks.
body work comes in threes, a day is 3 days, a week is 3 weeks, a month is 3 months.
Ronald: A lot of sanding?
Fiero: Yeah booi!
Sooo many more views and hopefully all monetized
Eleven THOUSAND likes, and almost no dislikes. Man, you are nailing it. We love you, want you to be happy. You work hard, and take the time you need. We'll all be here for you when you're done. Thanks for the apology but it means we can see more. Thanks for all the hard work.
I've enjoyed every episode of this car and don't care how long it takes for the car to be painted and completely restored, the narration and work is the thing I enjoy the cars completion is secondary for me
I've been following you from the start when the youtube algorithm gods suggested your video. I have to say it's quite satisfying to see you at this point in the Fiero journey... you're almost done. Your dream car is near completion. I went back and checked out part 1 and ...what a transformation it is! Congratulations is not sufficient but truly, CONGRATULATIONS!
Me and my friends are completely redoing a 1996 Ford Rv and we’re recording pretty much every step of the way. It’s gonna take a couple years to finish but we’re thinking about making like our own documentary style series when we’re finished. This series was a big inspiration, and I hope that there are a lot more projects to come from the channel
pro tip. all your footage? keep it backed up as you don't wanna go to use it in a couple of years and your hard drive is dead etc.
I'd recommend covering the holes near the ceiling and the gaps in the walls and doorway with mesh, that way you can still have ventilation but the bugs wont be able to get in.
The Fiero was very underrated, IMO...glad to see this one getting "restored"!
As soon as this series is over I’m just gonna binge watch it from the beginning
41 minutes with 1 ad, your sir have my full respect
41 minutes with what felt like 10 Fabreeze ads.
@@jwrockets lmaoo thats weird
Got 7 today
Fast forward to the end and then replay. No ads.
Just like a good series on Netflix: You both want to see how it ends and don't want it to be over. (ex: Ozark)
Dude. Thank you for this. I can't imagine how exhausting and boring all that body work must've been. But it looks incredible. If you need a break, I dont think any of your real og fans will mind. We'll be waiting with bells on whenever your ready to put out the next part.
13:43 Him : Junebugs
Fiero: "You had One Job"
Ronald: This is going to take a few weeks...
Fiero: Hold my chipped panels...
I AM an old man but didn't realize I'm being so in loving and using luggage racks!? I have accessory removable racks on my 2000 BMW Z3 and my 2017 FIAT 124 Spider as I always travel with a real, matching spare wheel and tire when I go on my frequent cross country drives. Those cars also have no room in the trunks for a tire!?! And I have permanent luggage racks on my 1978 Thunderbird and my '85 Mustang LX 5.0 ... all bought new. I've tied all sorts of things on them to transport the stuff ... rolled up rugs, minor building supplies, etc. LUGGAGE RACKS FOREVER!! ;-)
This is quite possibly one of my most favorite series to watch on UA-cam. It started with the UA-cam algorithm suggesting part 2 some night at 3 am and here we are. It’s bittersweet to see it’s almost finished, thanks algorithm.
Just loved the qualifier "that I would bother to fix" I'm gonna use that.
Thumbs up for the title alone my man.
I'm a resto guy, I build, repair and restore classics of all kinds. While being a mechanic/technician is very technical, body work is an art. You are basically sculpting the lines of the vehicle in several different medias. And yes, it can be VERY tedious, the payoff though...........the payoff is astronomical. 27 years of resto work, and I still occasionally learn something new when it comes to body work. I think you've done an extraordinary job for the level of restoration you are going for, you should be very proud of your work. And don't worry, all that repetitive, tedious work will be worth it once you get a look at the final product.
"It might only take a few weeks"
Famous last words.
Love what your doing to the car keep it up
Me waiting for this video for the past 3 months: 👁👄👁
I seriously love how this car came out and I'm so glad that you're doing more...
“All the painting that I do is finger painting”...
Me: well I guess so... *3 seconds pass*
Me: OHHHH RONALD FINGER HAHAAHAHAHAHAHA
I booed for a solid minute. Then showed the wife
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAA I HAD THE SAME THOUGHT HAHAHAHAHAA
Honestly... I didn't get it till AFTER reading your comment... *SMH*
I laughed with the delay too... Glad to see Ronnie has the "dad jokes" down pat. 🤣
Hahahahaha You were slow there XD
No apology needed for the series being over 10 episodes. There's the plan, and then there is everything else that happens along the way. I've enjoyed this series alot. Thank you for sharing the journey. And a car is never truly done, there is always something waiting to be done
if you do this again, i recommend filling in the divots before the primer so you get a good flat surface when the primer goes on, otherwise the filler can sink and it will be visible through the paint.
am going to be honest, i am happy that this is not the last episode of the Fiero series :D
fastest 40 min video of car restoration i have ever seen and that goes for the other episode as well!
keep up the good work my dude love from Norway
This just makes me look at my car and feel like “ get off your ass and fix it” 😂
Best car restoration on UA-cam, the attitude, the honesty, the effort and also, the diligence and 'can do' attitude. I know that so well learning from manuals on my own and just plugging away until I got it right. Really looking forward to seeing the paint go on, this is a great series and I cannot wait to see this car back to its very best.
I think we can all stop and appreciate car body workers for the huge amount of work that goes into prep!
In a couple of years when I will rewatch this series I'm going to be happy to have more than 10 episodes!
I really love this content and can't wait to see more on the other projects!
Did I stop doing everything I was supposed to be doing to watch this video?.....ABSOLUTELY
Am I about to rewatch this entire series again & continue to not do whatever I was going to do today?...... ABSOLUTELY
I half want to re-watch the whole thing too... Aghh, no time!
Yes, this is binge worthy :)
Make what you want to make, tell the story you want to tell, no matter how long or short you want to make it....... 👏
loved the "real human being" cover in the background, reminds me of one of my favorite movies
It's actually a cover of Under Your Spell haha. That song is also in the movie though!
utterly fantastic as always, and don't apologize for the series taking longer than you expected! putting more work into this project will definitely be worth it in the end
"... smoth as.... an onion skin" NICE
When it comes to anyone telling you what to do with your car. "That's probably what matters most I love it and it's me buying it. Strangers opinions shouldn't dictate what your car is or how you want it to look. It's your own choice and what makes you happy will never be wrong." -Ronald Finger
I have been binging the series for several hours now, I want to stop but I can’t

_VINWiki intensifies_
We need Ronald on VinWiki!!!!!!
@@junitoortega8656 I need a like button multiplier for this
This is literally one of the only channels that can put it a 42 min long video and I can watch them in regular speed and not skip anything!
No reason to apologize. Anyone that's ever spun wrenches on a labor of love and wasn't trying to make book time knows that stuff is going to take longer than expected. Your videos have always been entertaining, and I'll be happy to watch more. Thank you.
Most youtubers have new content daily or atleast twice a week on scheduled days but it's such a good feeling checking my subscriptions and seeing a circle beside your name. I get genuinely excited and your video becomes priority.
Ronald Finger: everything is going fantastically!
Me: *visible doubt*
rondald: bugs..... bugs on the paint
Me:.......
Me: knew it, every time hes optimistic something went wrong
Bugs, the biggest pain in the ass when it comes to painting outside
Joshua Adler I don’t doubt it. I haven’t had to paint anything too big so usually I cover my stuff with a plastic container
Heh, he likes to use sarcasm a lot. At work I do the same thing -- when I say "it's perfect!" it usually isn't, and I have to do some adjusting or smoothing.
Man, when you get done that thing will be worth 100s of dollars.
Love the series BTW!
Hey Ronald, I found a fiero much like this one in the woods across the street from me. Its white, no sunroof, and it's an automatic. It has also been sitting 20yrs. The guy wants $500 and I am going to buy it soon. You have inspired me to restore it. I would post pics but I cant in this comment thread....Keep up the great work!
I have enjoyed all your videos. Compared to some auto restoration projects yours is more real world and that's what is great about it. Not everyone can afford to have a professional mechanic or paint shop take care of things. Your videos show that with time, thought process, knuckle busting, patience, trial and error, you can get stuff done on your own and learn in the process. "Think of it, you rebuilt that Fiero, a process that originally took hundreds of people in a factory to do."
What a good way to call out Trevor!!
this has come such a long way, so inspirational to all people who watch. i wish the world could see this
I fully understand the reason there are so many videos and more than slightly appreciate a guy on UA-cam who doesn't make it looks like it was the easiest thing in the world for them as my projects always take longer and cost more than they originally were planned to
I came across a video of a guy pulling a 1985 Pontiac Fiero out of some muck from some old fellas property 1 year ago .. I was able to watch 2 videos on the restoration before the content ran dry (again this was a year ago). I remembered the video about a month ago and searched youtube until I found the continuation of the content (restoration). I don't think you need to apologize for not completing it to your subscribers as I'm sure most are excited that there's still another video in the works for the conclusion of your amazing work. I'm 42 and grew up in the era of this vehicle. VERY cool to see this car come back to life especially from someone as young as you who really seems to appreciate this car for what it is ! Fantastic job and look forward to seeing this complete . I just subscribed as well
Everytime i opened UA-cam, i hoped for the new Fiero release. Not disapointed at all. Loved the journey so far! Please dont let is wait to long for the paint video. 😅
We need more people in the car community doing what you’re doing. Don’t stop.
Idk, I really like watching all trimpieces be painted. There are so many car painting videos out there that always focus on the big stuff and not really on the small details, ^^
Recently purchased an 88 fiero, your mistakes will help me down the road, love your work.
Hey man the car is coming out nice!!! I can't wait to see what she is going to look like when you are done!!! I don't care if you do 30 episodes of this vehicle, I enjoy watching you work on it!! And I enjoy the occasional laughs too!! You are doing great job fixing her, Ron!! Keep up the great work!!!
When seeing how bendy and flexible your bumpers are, it reminded me about a lot of cars from that era who's paint would start to form little cracks. - I guess there's some type of flex-agent that needs to be added to help prevent that with those types of bumpers. I'm sure you already knew that, but wanted to bring it up just in case. - Love your series, keep up the good work.
I don't know much about fieros but once a guy had trouble with his clutch. So a guy googled it and of course I came across a forum. The clutch pedal is made from aluminum and its prone to bending. So I thought I'd put that out there in case anyone might see this comment to help them. Keep up the good work...
26:25 .... and while Ronald gets on with that, I'm..... gonna get the funk out!
And make a bracket?
let me put the kettle on
Damn you for mentioning the lack of symmetry! I hate that theres only one intake vent! I plan to get rid of that on mine
restoring an '80's Fiero is something worth watching, no matter how many videos it takes. Could you imagine doing the same to a 30;s Ford? Every project takes on a life of its own. Just be prepared for the ride.It is worth it in the end. And you will learn so much. Great Work.
'...and this is the same for cars too. But not cars three!' Wtf! I love those quotes! And of course I love your channel!
The final "assembly" gave me chills. I got a sense of what this car is going to look like when complete. Really nice work.
Yay, new Fiero episode! Congrats on #10 of the series!
Not many people can say their 4 cylinder Fiero is capable of a burnout! You should be proud!
I’ve been watching your series from the beginning and it has been great to see all your progress. Don’t pay attention to any negativity here in the comments. And especially don’t feel that you need to explain yourself to anyone here, or justify any of the decisions you make on this
build. This is your sweat equity, not any of ours. Keep up the great work!
I've followed this series religiously since I discovered it sometime last year. What a labor of love.
This must have been mind-numbing to edit
I'd say it's a good break from sanding though
Yeah, he's so thorough. The car was probably done a couple years ago and hes just now finishing up the videos.
As an expert on half-chubs, I can definitely say that this was not a subpar orgasm. I laughed my ass off with the passenger door, "I won't put you through that again"...que 2 seconds of going through it. LOL! Can't wait to see the finished product, Ronnie! I've been building a truck and wish I would've documented it too. I love watching these. Can't wait for the other projects to come!
PS: If you continue to have bug problems, they make bug bags that we use in our front yard that work really well. Maybe putting some in front of your barn would help.
I sold these new. I was the youngest salesman for a five generation dealership in Cumberland Maryland. They started selling horse couches in 1870. I always dove a new fiero GT and formula, 5 speed. I got to get a new one after 4000 miles. The rear was hit in the back. The panels broke in accident. You did a spectacular job on this car. I enjoyed every mile in those cars. Great job. I just finished my 1969 AMC AMX GO PACK 390 with every option. Guess I'm hocked on cool 2 doors. Lol. Neal
