No matter what I do, it's still a Cavalier.

Coming along nicely. This build makes me zticky

Thanks, feller!

Tick Tick Tick... Just waiting for this thing to be finished. Coming from being an S-10 owner and ive seen yours, it makes me more excited to see what your cav comes out looking like once its finished.

Also +1 for the bead-rolled firewall!

Thanks a bunch, dude. Are you Cole?

Wow! I just made it through all 23 pages. Awesome build thread, you have some serious skills and the cav is looking farkin stellar! Cant wait to see more!

You are committed, sir. Thanks!

So this is what you went to Ohio for!

It sure is.

Put on my big boy pants tonight and knocked out the firewall for good. I'm very happy with the way it turned out and I think it will flow pretty well all painted up.

I re-made the column pass-through and a couple filler panels.

I made the "hvac" filler first, here:



And then cut the shitty pass-through out:



I wanted to make the new pass-through flow better, and not have a sharp edge to tie into the middle area of the firewall. I wound up making the new piece by bending the sheet metal around a piece of tube I had laying around, it actually worked really well.

Welded everything up and ground it smooth, overall I'm pretty happy with it.









I have yet to finish completely welding in the large filler with the bead rolls, but once that is done, I have two tiny holes to fill on either strut tower, one seam on the right side wheel tub to weld and I can start mudding.

Holy hell, we're making head-way.

Leave it in. When it's painted it will look fine, plus those bead rolls make it stronger.

Stressed all weekend, decided I'm gonna leave it, once the engine is in for good and it's all painted it will be fine. Plus, with all the added room of the steering change, a great big sidewinder turbo setup would hide that real well.

Sometimes, when she's drunk, my grandmother calls me Ashtonio. Are you drunk? And more importantly, are you me grandmother?

HOLY CRAP! I'm speechless, this is amazing, keep it up

Thanks!

On an unrelated topic, took a drive down to Ohio yesterday and picked up a 4 point roll bar. It was Mike Barr's, unsure of his name on here, but anyways he hooked me up and was willing to drive quite a distance to meet me, it is very much appreciated dude!





I cannot get over how well this thing fits in the car, it's beyond perfect. I will leave it gold until I have the interior panelling cut out to fit, and then I will have it powdercoated the same candy teal that the wheel faces are.

Excited, I am.

Darn tootin', Ashtonio. Yeah, just called you Ashtonio, and you're gonna deal with it.

Monday, cutting the whole thing out. If I'm not 100% happy with it, I'll never be okay with it.

I don't has a brother.



Quit kicking my ass.

woops Cousin! lol

[244Brick]

Just leave it.. It's fine!

[ItsaCorolla]

Isn't it hidden by the engine anyways?

[rice4life]

Yeah, when its painted it should be all good

[andybob]

I think it'll look really good once it's all painted up.
