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

Oh my lord.

Home run.

Oh my lord.

Heading out to the shop again, chances are pretty good I'm not actually going to do any work tonight. The couch sounds mighty enticing, with a beer and a good stare-fest.

That - plus I have zero fucking motivation to get the car back on the hoist.

[azncav]

[cobrawannabe]

Haven't check in in a while. Shit got f***ing real in here.

[Zane_S4]

Damn! I had a Cavi in high school and couldn't wait to get a new car cause I couldn't do anything with it. But you make this thing look amazing!

[SuperSport]

This build is top notch, amazing work! I'm also glad i'm not the only person crazy enough to stance a chevy

edit: for me it's still "try" to stance a chevy

Im overwhelmed by how amazing my wheel width and offset guess worked. Could not be happier.

PS, the right rear wheel is flat, that is why there is some aweful wheel gap on the left rear side.

I've said what needed to be said but Imma say it again.

Cavalier game is a wrap.

We have successfully pissed off the majority of the internet.

Thank you, Dave, for allowing me to make my dreams a reality.

And thank you everyone for all the kind words!

I'm hoping to have the metal work in the bay done this weekend, I've got nothing planned and nothing but time, so I think it is a feasable goal.

By the way, go like Stance Is Everything on Facebook, here:

Went out to the shop tonight with very little motivation. But, slowly but surely I dealt with a lot of metal work tonight.

My rear transmission mount has stumped me since I lifted the engine. Initially, when I raised the engine, I had zero plans of a shaved/tucked bay, so I had function > form in mind the entire time. It is/was an eye sore and needed to be dealt with. Much like the front one, I smoothed it in, rounded it out, blah blah blah.

I managed to destroy my last flap disc, so it is not as smooth and shaped as I would normally like to show you guys, but you know I'll get to fixing it.

Here's what I started with, yuck.



And how I left it tonight:



And here are a few randoms of the bay from 20 minutes ago, very, very few holes left, and all about the size of a finger nail. I hope to have the metal work done tomorrow, and be ahead of my goal of having it completed Sunday evening.

Excellent.......

So I'm pretty curious on how the quick fasteners will work? like how do they work lol?

They are a relatively simple quarter-turn fastener. I'll try to remember to grab some better pictures when I fully install them.


Got the engine back in tonight, I swear I'm getting WAY too good at this. Sat on the stool and stared at the engine mount area for quite a while, and finally laid down a design on some paper. Measured it up and finalized a couple drawings. Hopefully my cousin will fold up the first major piece of it tomorrow and from there I can finish the rest of the mount over the weekend.

For now, here's some pictures of the engine in it's home.... again, this time with both wheel tubs and 90% of the metal work finished.

That bay, and fitment, and car in general is looking good.

Way to make it good and not bad for once on a cavilier.
