Cobalt Project Car

Most of you guys remember me from this site. I havnt been on in a while becuase ive been super busy, but im back to inform all i officially began to start on my cobalt. I bought my Dodge Ram back in October and now the Cobalt is going to be a show and race car only. I will be updating this thread with many many many pictures and updates on it. Starting this weekend December 18th i will be putting her on a trailer from my garage at my other house and bringing it to my job where im finally going to do the body work and spray the whole car. Im going as far as taking doors off trunk and hood to do the jambs too. Well here we go and im open to opinions and suggestions and comments. So heres the start to a great time!!!! Let me know about shows and sponserships and ill do my best!! Thanks in advance and hope to see you all soon!!!

Well for as of right now i wanna try and go with the harrop blower and try to see what we can get outta that and most likely support the motor with some internals. My clutch is shot so i need a new one bad!!!! Besides that im open to anything really not sure what to do yet. For show is going to get a new paint job and what not and then dream toyz is going to do the interior and what eber else they wanna do. Not sure until they take a look to check out the trunk and what not for measurements and stuff.

I suggest all cobalt owners checking out the bottom side of the doors, my doors both barely had any paint on em and started to rust becuase the weather stripping wore the paint off. I sanded em all down and painted and cleared every door jamb and what not.

looks like great work. only thing i would have done was take the grills out of the rear lip instead of tape them.

oo i know, well my orignial plans were to make a dual cutout and then run the muffler piping later on, but i felt it wasnt needed, those little grills were giving me a really hard time to take out and i kinda cracked one so i just left them in.

Thanks guys for the comments, i havnt really touched the car since, but its back at my garage and sitting there. I might tint all my tail lights including the side markers, not sure yet. The car is all back together pretty much, i just have the 2 bumpers left to put on but thats easy.

****Anyone know where i can get a Carbon Fiber center blade for the OEM Spolier?

On the trailer heading back to the garage thats the way it was left until i get some more time to mess with it more.
