We have to get our beast ready for the Home Town Cruise. The 28th Street Cruise in Grand rapids Michigan is a huge event. Woodward may be bigger, but 28th Street is our home turf so it has to be better. Our Camaro is back from ATI / ProCharger and now the exterior mods go into high gear.
- Front Splitter
- Upper and Lower Grilles
- Cowl Induction Hood
- Shaved Emblems and Badges
- Shaved Door Handles
- Shaved Spoiler
- Side Sills
- Rear Lower Fascia
- Deck Wing -- Maybe
- Interior Paint
- Tinted Windows
We picked up the Camaro at ATI and mad a hard run from Lenexa to West Olive in 10 hours and 15 minutes including gas, food and where is the head I gotta go right now stops so we could deliver the Camaro to Essex Customs in Grand Rapids. We reviewed the build list and went right to work Saturday afternoon. Jason is as jacked about this project as we are and that is really good news as he has a lot to do.
The rear sheet metal work on the Camaro is nothing short of gorgeous. It is stunning and gets lost with the wing. The roof, fenders and deck lid lines are so well done they would be at home on a Ferrari. We think that wingless may be the best look. Removing the rear wing does increase drag, but with something like 600 RWHP who care about a little drag that hold the car down to 189 instead of 190? A wind that is raised and allows you to still enjoy the OEM art work may be acceptable, but we really like naked for now.
Jason will be sending us pictures to update this thread over the next few days. He is on a tight schedule -- very tight schedule. All the mods have to be complete by Wednesday so we can get the car over to Witt for:
- Pedders Xa Track eXtreme Suspension
- Corner Weighting
- Alignment
- Install Full Alignment Kit
- Install Headers
- Install Sweet Thunder Exhaust and QTP Cutouts
- Install Cobalt Friction Pedders Hardcore Track Only XR Pads
- Install Forgeline 19x10.5 Wheels
- Install Bridgestone 305/30/19 RE-11s all around
We already know that several items will not be ready while other are on the bubble.
- Grilles
- Side Vents
- Rear Wing
- Rear Fascia
What will get done -- stay tuned as the thread will be frequently updated.
