Yes very often i ask myself that....but i know the answer.....in all honesty.....this has nothing to do with what kind of car it is...its all about my love for fiberglass fabrication.....The car audio side of it.....really not alot of interest in it...anymore....Honestly :blush: And straight up truth.....most of this shit wouldnt be done if it werent for these forums,,,,,alot of these projects are for youguys.....cuz i love to share my builds....and all my photos...my art......i just truely love to build.....and be able to take somthing thats burning in my skull.....and not only put it right here in front of you............but share the entire build....thats what i love.....as you guys have surely figured out by now......I have no social life.....Im a hermit....in my garage.....or my house...with my family...But when im not at my Job...........this is it....this is me......during the week ill try to get in 20 hrs...on the car...weekends....another 20.......granted i never get a full 40 in a week on the car.....with family and other shit...lolbut i do put ALOT of hours into it...probably more than i should....some people get off a day of work and relax...in the recliner.....watching discovery channel........I BUILD SHIT :)

why an 88 Cavalier.......well....when i sold my Xtreme van i was projectless http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/public/style_emoticons/default/mad.gif ......a good friend who ive known for a lot of years....got a new car....and asked if i wanted this ol girl :huh: ..so i took it....I thought.....man i have this huge pile of equipment....from memphis....Ill try and pack it all in this Z.......thatll be cool.........whod a thought I still be builden away.....it all started here....

Back when I first got the Cavalier..

no....we wont as the ol lady ....her opinion.........we will just leave that one alone....for the moment.... :blush:

first and foremost thank you for the response. it made me remember why i got into car audio in the first place. people like you who can answer that question truthfully and from the heart. me i got into it because a competitor who i idolized i finally met like 10 years ago, was a total douche bag when i introduced myself. i started building and have never looked back. then i found out he had terrets and he is my boss now and a very close friend of mine. i loved the way you answered that and thank you for building for us we all appreciate it.

hell i'm about 99% sure i'm speaking for plenty others when i say i'm SO glad you do post the pics. hell i'd be happy enough for the pics...and you go and write descriptions of the pics to help describe what you're doin. which is even more helpful. i've got your builds and captions saved to my PC :) i've learned a lot of tips from watchin. workin on a box now that ima start a log of soon when i get a lil more progress up.

and shit...no harm in bein a hermit. i like to go out and work on projects with just a lil music on. if i lived a lil closer...well...a lot closer, i'd be tryin to sneak over and help and/or just get some tips and see the man in action

now...get to work or post pics :D

I've been a lurker on this site and FGF for a couple of years, and I never leave feedback, btu I have learned a lot from you. I check out your threads every day to see if you updated anything. And every day you do, I read through all of it. And like everyone else I am glad you share your builds with us.

And if that's the case, I can totally understand.

Well actually my name is Chris too... just saying.

I guess working on your front end isn't the most important thing in the world... lol. we all understand when sometimes work can't be done. Time spent with your son is more lasting than work on a car.
