Pete went to the dentist and had a special implant in one of his rear molars. When he bites down hard, the doors will open. We did this as therapy for stress. So when he is driving 165mph, and grits his teeth, the doors will open and act like a brake! Sorry, after answering 10 +emails and 50-60 phone calls today, I am getting goofier than normal.

Actually, as was already stated, the process has been out there for a very long time. but the actual controls are seriously better than years past. Now is it all controlled thru a micro processer that integrates with his remote. He will press the unlock button 1 time and the drivers door will unlock and open. Press it the second time and the other door unlocks and opens. There are alternative in case the battery goes dead, that I will not discuss. But Pete will be able to open the doors externally in a manual mode.

thanks

I can't wait for the finished pics.

JFresh · 08-27-2009, 01:45 AM

Wow... amazing work right here. That engine cover is amazing. It's going to be all the little things that were painted/ modified that will set this car off. Can't wait to see the finished result, especially those smooth doors now

. Front lower fascia looks hot. This car is definently being done right.

So... I have a 2SS/RS Black on order, want to switch plus $20,000? haha great job guys.

Pete just got back from the shop. The guys are still hard at it in large part because of some back luck and issues with part fitment. When doing a final buffing after full body wet sand, the buffer pad got caught in the hole for the side view mirror. This oops is being corrected by reshooting the door. We all thought we had the interior door panels correctly taped so the LED lighting would still be 100% functional. What we have is maybe 2% function. Once again, no real problem here it just takes time. They have already ordered two new inserts and will have them perfectly finished next week.

The hood has been a challenge. Something changed from plug to splash for the bottom of the hood. The top skin is production perfect ready. They devised a plan for the weekend show and sacrificed my OEM hood making it a donor for the new skin. This took hours we just didn't have. What it means is the crew at Essex is burning serious hours until the car id done. We'll have it trailered to Witt Pedders Buick for the suspension work in the morning.

Thursday is headers, suspension wheels and tires.

Friday is finishing anything we missed on Thursday as well as the new exhaust,

Friday night it is time to cruise 26th Street!

Monday we'll continue to finish up development of more revolution accessories as well as anything we missed to make the show. Pete really hates to have a car that isn't finished and isn't perfect, but he understands the challenges of developing new accessories and really enjoys working with skilled people. Pete and I learn more on every build from the people we work with. That is one of the great things about big builds ñ the people involved. We learn more every time we test at a track. It is one of the reasons we build and personally track all these cars. We want to live with them and not just sell parts for them.
