thanks, yeah she was beat up pretty bad, technically totalled at $12k in damages, cost me a lot less than that to rebuild myself with a friends help. Thankfully car was never reported as totalled and came up with a clean title. Can't wait to finish tuning this thing, hoping to break 400whp on 15psi.... hopefully.
it's actually driving and on the road for the last 3 weeks now, did some fuel tuning last night got it running 10psi at an 11.5afr and 10 degrees timing up top. so far so good.

Damn looks good. I would have went another route. Feed over fenders in the rear, new Feed front fenders, feed headlight cover, and feed front bumper. But what you did was probably a lot cheaper. Glad you saved her.

yeah very low budget for this build, I had just finished building my cobalt up to 550+whp and then promptly blew the $6500 motor I had built...... stupid cylinders and sleeves.

car had:
Pauter billet chomoly rods, diamond forged pistons, CNC's ported race head w/ dual coil 78lb valve springs, Ti retainers, +.5mm oversized stainless/iconel valves, 79lb/hr injectors, sheet metal intake, long runner turbo mani, Turbonetic's 60-1 CBB turbo. It was fun while it lasted. now that car is going back to semi stock with a full race suspension and brake package with a 75 shot of the juice.
but now I'm back to the two dorito's on a stick.

1/4 panel was a bitch, plain and simple. Spent about a week on it since we wanted to keep it all metal and only use some finish plaster. Made a cardboard template of the driver side sine the passenger side was flattened. Worked out pretty good. need to tweak it just a little bit to be 100% perfect, but you can't really tell.
as for the SRT comment, I actually tried to buy one before the cobalt, but the dealerships were ********, charging too much for a beat car, and wouldn't let me take the car out (I was 27 at the time).

well just an update, had the car tuned by enzo. Conservative setup on 12psi on 93 octane, made 383whp and 310wtq. Hopefully start prepping it for paint in the next few weeks and make it look as good (if not better) as new.
