I had a hard time getting the rivets in the lower bulkhead sheet metal. I ended up putting a 1/4 inch socket over the stem of the rivet and they tapped right in. The pedal assembly easily installed. The brake lines were a no-brainer, they really only can go in their designated location.

We have a body shop at work, so I ended up having the frame painted. It was a three hour drive to the nearest powder coating place that could fit the frame. The paint is the same paint they use to paint the roller coasters at cedar point in Sandusky Ohio. The paint was not overly expensive. For...

Wheels look awesome! All your parts look great. I have not tried painting my coils yet. Im thinking there will be a lot of over spray so I will have to wait until it warms up and do it outside. Mowed two days ago, last night it snowed...

Re: Frankenstein's Goblin - Alex's Track Goblin I think thats a viable option. A more expensive option. I would imagine buying everything separate would be a little harder. It may be hard to find a junk yard willing to sell the body harness. And buying them new is probably not an option. I...

The frame made it today right on schedule. Six guys easily slid and carried it off of the truck. We could have done it with four. The frame, lines, tank etc were all securely packaged. The truck was in and out in less than 10 mins. The delivery process was very easy.

Adam, Thanks for taking a few pictures! I am very excited to get the frame.

Lol, the kids love helping. My two year old daughter will spend hours in the garage with me. My 4 year old son loses interest after 20 mins. Today I worked on cleaning the subframe. I used my grinder with a wire wheel. It worked really well to clean out all the hard to get spots. Like the...

We have a small sand blast cabinet at work. We use glass bead. Its safe on most parts. This has been great for cleaning parts to paint. It makes old dirty hardware look new. The valve cover was pretty hard to clean. It has a lot of hard to get to spots. I did end up blasting it, but it took a...

Because I work for a dealer I was able to check my cobalt for any open recalls or extended coverages. There happened to be an extended coverage on the fuel pump and tank for leaks. I was able to get a brand new fuel tank, new fuel pump, all new plastic lines, new fuel filler neck covered under...

I had a lot of trouble getting the steering shaft off of the steering gear. Even after spreading the pinch bolt joint I could not get them to separate. You can see in the first picture where I had to cut it off with a die grinder at the rack.

I picked up a chain hoist at an auction a few years ago. I used two 2x12s across the ceiling joists. I did not keep the engine suspended for long. Only long enough to attach it to the engine stand. But it was very secure.

To remove the engine I removed the front bumper fenders etc. Set up jacks under the front subframe and attempted to remove the subframe bolts. Both rear subframe bolts spun. On the pass. side I cut a large hole in the floor board with a grinder to gain access to the cage nut and cut it off. On...

Hello, my name is Kevin. This is a project for my two kids and I over the summer. This is my first kit car build. I work at a dealership so I have access to all the technical information I could need. I had been waiting for a cobalt to come in on trade cheap for months. Finally an 07 LS with...
