If you plan to drive the car for a while on your current path, then I would go with stock tank, 3/8" fuel line and be done. You won't spend very much money sticking with the stock setup, so when you do finally upgrade to bigger/better then you won't be out much money from replacing the original stuff.

Fuel system? CHECK!
 

Well Mako, good sensible advice but I went a little different route for my baby...:unibrow:

This is what I came up with after talking with Hector at Ricks Hot Rod Shop, aka. Ricks' Tanks.:thumbsup:

Taking the leap from this crusty 44 year old pickup and sending unit:

To this low pressure "in tank" pump with an aftermarket sending unit:http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e2...9299947039.jpg
With this package should I ever want to change to an LS or EFI it is only a pump change... and regulator etc... but you get the idea. The goal or theme here is that the parts going into the car will lend support to mods in the future. You know, "Someday".:D

Here is a side by side comparison showing the clipped corners for exhaust packaging or possible future mini-tub or link style rear suspension clearance.

Nice
 

Nice Tank, witch one is it, and does it have the baffels and pick up arms like the new vaporworks tanks as im am thinking about taking the same route when that time comes around, but it would be nice to have one that i could upgrade, prob wont be able to do LS to much$$$$$.:thumbsup: Thanks Keith

I would urge you to call Hector at Ricks and talk with him. Mine does have baffels but it is not a Vaporworx tank. They are a little more involved which translates to more money for the additional pickups at the corners.

This is not a tank you will find available for sale elsewhere at this time, but then neither is Mayhems! LOL:rofl:

I crack myself up comparing my Camaro to one of Stielows' builds but I do it out of respect, and to show the contrast from a mild carburated application with a a low pressure (12psi) in tank pump like mine to a high pressure ( supercharged EFI supporting high horsepower) with a twin ZL1 pump, high capacity tank like Mayhems.

Seriously, give Hector or any of the guys at Ricks a call (915-760-4388) and they can do whatever you need. That is clearly evident.
You will also be hard pressed to find a more patient and pleasant man to talk cars with than Hector at Ricks.

Thanks
 

Thank You for the speedy reply :thumbsup:

You are most welcome. Thanks for stopping by to see what "Someday" is all about.:thumbsup:

Is this thing on the road yet?:P

:brix:

Nope. Recent developments have been few and far between. But, Since you woke a sleepy little thread in the middle of winter... (keep in mind our daily high's are in the teens)

Allow me to present my Christmas present from Jodi!

Late last fall I had the subframe that originally came from The Blue Hour Camaro by way of Nate's house straightened a wee bit so that it is spot on. I intend to get it looking good and swap my "cool parts" onto it and make the swap.


:cheers:

Glad to see you are still making progress, even if its just collecting parts. I didn't know, till I looked, that you lived in the land of 10,000 frozen lakes. It was a balmy 45* here today, but 72* in my garage:yes:

Thanks.

I had a kerosene torpedo heater 2 winters ago but my girlfriend swore it was going to kill me. It was really too big for the garage and unmanagable how it either lit on/off when I had it on a thermostat or else I would manually go from frozen toes to sweaty t-shirt. Add to that bloodshot eyes and momentary loss of reason and I decided when I moved back here from the farm to leave it there.
I intend to plumb in a gas fired hanging unit soon.

Currently working on a 220v welder service out there in fact just bought some 6-2 NM-B wire tonight. Somewhat backward priorities I suppose but I seem to make a habit of working that way.

I justify it in this case because I need the welder to move forward in some areas on the Camaro and I can dress for the cold. Although us Minnesotans like to brag to the rest of the Country about how cold it gets we still function in it... somewhat.

Single digits and below put the air compressor and air tools in a foul uncooperative mood. Also makes holding metal tools require clumsy gloves though and sometimes it is hard to see through your own breath in tight spaces. So you can see how it is easy to make enough excuses to sit at the computer shopping parts or doing forum "research" instead of paring down the Camaro "to-do" list. :lateral:

I guess I'm fortunate to live in the south with warmer winters. When I built my house, 11 years ago, I had my garages fully insulated and installed double insulated garage doors. I use a 1500 watt radiant heater hanging from the ceiling and it will keep you comfy in the winters. Now, summer time is another story. Southern summers with 100% humidity and no clouds in the sky is enough to not even want to think about going outside.

I insulated the garage, sheetrocked with 5/8" and upgraded my garage door to insulated.
I have yet to do the half of the ceiling that was not done for firecode in '01 though.

I did all my sheetrocking and insulation work around the immobile Camaro. Stubborn huh?:D

Do you have trouble with concrete sweating and all of your metal tools/parts condensating... then rusting?

That happens here when it gets super hot and muggy, and is common in the spring when the frost goes out. Unfortunately it was also a byproduct of when I had big temp swings in the garage with my haphazard method.

I worry a little I will have that again if I don't maintain a minimum heat once I start heating the garage. Time will tell. I just don't want to commit to a setpoint that finances a new wing at Centerpoint Energy HQ with what I spend on my gas bill increase once I go to a gas fired hanging unit.

My double garage floor will sweat a little prior to a heavy rain storm when the humidity is high right before the storm. However, the single garage side does not sweat. The single side is where I keep my project. I dubbed it, "the closet.":rolleyes:

You could epoxy coat your garage floor to stop the sweating.

Maybe you could install a small propane tank for the garage heater.

I could look into it again because it has been years. Natural gas was more economical than propane and the heaters require an orifice change. To my knowledge a dual fuel option is not common or possibly not sold.

Creativity seems to be discouraged in the liability laden HVAC market.

I did not know coatings would prevent the floor sweating. I will confirm that with my neighbor, he spent $3k on his floor prior to his oldest sons grad party 5-6 years ago.

The trick with propane is buying it out of season when you can
negotiate a better price.

Epoxy will seal the concrete just as it seals the metal from
moisture on our heaps.

Yesterday was a good Camaro day.:hapdance: :excited:

I completed re-installing the sheetrock I had removed to run my 220v welder service. I wanted to have wiring completed prior to ordering my welder which will be pretty soon.:welder:

More importantly I placed an order with the good folks at Matt's Classic Bowties.
Matt and Kim treated me pretty well and I am eagerly awaiting my Speedtech upper control arms, DSE subframe connectors and Morris Classic Custom Clearshot mirrors.
Here is a little image copy/paste from the :hail: One Lap Camaro with the same upper arms. Speedtech recommends their flatter high clearance upper arm to go with my tall ATS spindles. This is an especially "big deal" to me because the upper arms represent one of my major puzzle pieces that I was waiting on therefore "SOMEDAY" draws one step closer.:thumbsup:

DAMN Blake and the boys at Speed Tech make some damn sexy control arms :thumbsup:

Speed tech control arms a very nice quality used them. On the last car I built and really liked,great product.

:thumbsup: for a good Camaro Day!

Things are thawing out up there I'd say! Nice to see some progress

X2 gotta love a Camaro day! :thumbsup:

Nice to see some shiny parts!

Just cuz its cold out doesn't mean you have to hibernate:bump:

Kepp pushing you'll get there!! Its gonna be nice when finished..:cheers:

Old Thread!
 

Is this project still going?
