EDIT: Read the update that it requires some mods to get the gauges to fit.
I'd love to run that gauge if everything worked on it. Special modification done to the cobalt's wire harness?

 

I dont know for sure but I would say it wouldnt work with a cobalts computer because it has a different display, I could be wrong though


More updates on the gobalt are up! check it out!

 

I'll keep up with your progress to see how it goes with the gauges, 'cause that's badass.

Well its been a few weeks since I`ve had an update.. Been busy trading my dually for a half ton and getting the shop to the point where I can walk again.. I have gotten the rest of the interior plus the wiring harness removed now. Parts for the rear end fabrication have been laser cut at work and just need to be formed up then I can start cutting!

I have a 220v mig welder lined up for trade tomorrow. Check out the site for pics and explanation of whats happening!

Well i got the welder and borrowed a plasma cutter and was able to get the rear end test fitted with everything cut out. Looking promising, but may have to widen its ass end a little wee bit

Check out the updates click sig!

 

I. Love. This. Project.


Some progress beats no progress. Any thoughts on what you'd do to widen the car or work arounds to correct the width mechanically?

 

i always said, if i won the lottery i would convert my cobalt to rwd with an ls engine.

 

Well shorten the width of the drive shaft or use a narrower rear. A couple inches shorter/narrower rear with shafts would be cheaper than a wide body balt! just saying! Cant wait to see finished pics/cost!

 

But if you came up with a nice easy way, that was tested well, then you could sell it to use. I'd buy it. I'm tired of thiS FWD.. I'd prefer AWD, but I'd take RWD over FWD.

 

subd!

 

I thoughtbabout that and am sure i can make it work, but i will need another balt to try it on once im done this one lol

 

I havent investigated my choices on this supension yet, once its all mounted in i was planning on stairing at it for a couple hours to see if i could figure something out. Being that its independent its a little more difficult to mess with the width of the rear end.

 

zum i want GTO gauges. looks awesome

 

I actually think a widebody would probably be easier....... I mean just get everything to work and run the body where it needs to go to function

you going to have body work regardless so widening the fenders out shouldnt be the end of the world. depending on who you got to do the fab though it may get kinda pricey though. Not sure how good you are with body work.

 

Well the car got rear ended, check pics out on the site in my sig! just unbelievable.

 

i was scared for a second haha

 

^ this.

 

Lmfao! I was like NO...

 

Lmao figured everyone would be like wtf

 

More progress up on the webpage.. Tunnel is cut out and the motor has almost found its resting place.. She's looking good in that engine bay man!!.. Pretty much soaked my pants when I dropped the car over the motor

 

You did this to an lnf? I can haz motor and harness for cheap?

 

I still have the LSJ motor minus the supercharger and the wiring harness available.. Motor needs piston rings.

 

Shiit I thought it was an LNF because of the steering wheel. If it was a reallyyyyy good deal, I'd have it shipped. Pm me

 

Lol blew out piston rings and decided to convert cobalt to rwd, totally rational

But seriously I'm incredibly impressed with this project and will be following it, wish you the best of luck man!
