Pedders Camaro Begins the Transformation to the Pedders Revolution Camaro
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.
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. 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:
We already know that several items will not be ready while other are on the bubble.
What will get done -- stay tuned as the thread will be frequently updated. Mike dms |

They got a really good start on things today. The doors and trunk are shaved. The engine cover is in primer. The front fascia is off. The rear fascia is off. The interior panels are pulled. They have until Wednesday and then we go to suspension, wheels, tires, brakes, exhaust, headers -- I am already tired and other people are doing most of the work.

Jason and his crew at Essex have the tear down well under way.
Pete is standing over Jason's shoulder whispering "only three more days and it has to be done". That spoiler just won't go away. Anyone need an OEM spoiler? Jason and his crew have the trunk lid and door handles shaved. |

Body Upgrades Continue
The guys at Essex had the Camaro stripped down in record time.
We have the work in pictures and in video. Shaving the door handles or spoiler sounds easier than it i. Once the hardware is removed we have to get down to good sheet metal, cut away the stamping indentations. Weld and fill. Prime and sand and then do it again until it is perfect. The engine compart has to be as clean as the rest of the car. That means the OEM pebble grain plastic has to be smoothed and painted as well as the body panels. Sand, prime, sand, fill, sand, prime until it is just right. Then we get into the really new and cool stuff. Here is the first Revolution body part -- the spoiler. Step one is the test fit. Step two is prime, sand, fill, prime sand fill, prime sand.... |

This is a badass thread. Usually we don't get this kind of updates from something like this. I really appreciate it.
