  • I hope you're just going to clearcoat all this junk. I love the look of bare metal.


    If it's worth doing, it's worth doing right.

    Your blast pipes look stupid.

    • So I just read through all 27 pages with I admit some skepticism in the beggining, but its quite clear this isn't the average build. Props on my behalf sir. The only cavalier I give a shit about. I'm stoked to see more progress.

      • Booster set up is looking good!
        I can't believe how much progress you've made in the past few weeks..I'm getting more and more excited to see this thing out in the spring!

          Just kidding. Keep up the great work, your fab skills are shining through.
          Thanks, sweet heart!

          How often to you need to fill up your master cylinder? If it's more than once a year your car needs help. There's a low-fluid sensor in the master itself, so I'm not worried in the least.

          I can't wait to paint it, sorry!

          I'm still sceptical! I can't blame you at all, but I thank you for the kind words!

          I really wish your car was going to be out this year. I need someone local to cruise with! Either that, or I'll just have to buy a bike.

          Got a text message today saying my dash would be in paint by the end of the week, and then he'll start the bezel. Pretty excited to hear that already.

          Not working on the car tonight, I'm doing laundry.

          You know that pair of boxers you **** because they're just too small and you save them because it means one extra day you can go without doing laundry? Yeah, I'm wearing that pair today.

          • So, never staying home to do laundry again. Spent a lot of money. Gas tank will no longer be factory. That was literally the last piece on the car I've never replaced.

            10 gal fuel cell.

            Operation: make the lolcavalier completely indestructible from the underside is officially 100% sorted out.

            • I really wish I had the talents you had when it comes to welding and in that area.. You can just do what you want when you need to. I'm so jelly.

                Thanks, man. But it all came at a price. I've destroyed three cars learning what I've learned!

                Finished plating my bumper rebar tonight, Nothing exciting but had a couple hours into it, so deal with the pictures.





                Should have my bell crank pivot back Thursday, so brake operations will resume Thursday night.

                • I'm currently at a loss for words about this thing.
                  The fab skills, the insane idea of it all. Unbelievable.

                  This may have been covered a few pages back, but those wheels are Enkei's that you had the lips widened by weldcraft? I have always wanted to try that as a cost effective way to have cool wheels.

                      There's always a price for things I just love the idea of making your own engine mounts to move it up because I want my cavalier to be just as low as yours and with all the things you've created because they can't just be simply bought is crazy to think about.. I wish i just had a personal you when I needed it

                          Yes, the lips were widened. In all honesty, it was not SUPER cost effective. I would, however, go this route again. It opens up all sorts of crazy wheel options.

                          When I think about all the stuff I've had to make for this stupid car it makes my head hurt.

                          • Pookie, will you be doing something with the dash, or will you be leaving it the OEM color?

                            Also, your fuel cell idea... fabulous. Just, fabulous.



                            Any chance you think you'll be done by summer?

                                First meet is May 25th. Doing everything in my power to having the car drive itself on and off the trailer by then. But, I'm skeptical!

                                As far as the dash, it will be all factory colouring. The radio surround/cluster bezel thingy is getting a tonne of work to it, but will still be factory textured and coloured.
