Barry Grand Speed Demon 650VS elec choke carb 1282010VE $456.47 (with many hours of tuning, drilled pump nozzles, power valve, jets, pump cam, etc.)
this should be in the $7-800 range. They are out of business so it should be considered a collectors item.:yes:

Sounds like a complete rotisserie re-do to me....

This is how Rudy's Camaro started --- and then with all the work just to get it torn down -- you start with the "well... as long as we're here we might as well do....."


Ya know what - 16 months later - it's worked out just fine. We've fixed everything that was ever wrong with the car... so he's going to have a real decent car now. :D

It's close enough to get a Holley HP especially if I get compensated for tuning labor which I will add to that list. :yes:

I'm tempted to spray that Demon with clear and make a pedestal for it. :unibrow:

...........I wish you were my brother-in-law. :unibrow:

........I know........wish in one hand poop in the other and see which one fills up fastest. That summarizes poor Norwood's life. :D

Moved the new ride into the garage today:

Let the teardown commence!

Are you making any mods to the sub? I picked one up awhile back that needs a little tlc To the right front, in front of the crossmember. It looks like somebody did some redneck towing around the woods or bumped into it when it was sitting for the last several years.

I was happy to find one that is solid and straight as far as suspension and body mounts are concerned.

Your list looked pretty thourough, but I would echo Vince somewhat on labor raising value but it is hard to justify. Also, I thought BG was back... even if someone bailed them out?

Well the subframe plan was to do arms, geometry, real shocks, and spindles but that money is probably gone with upgrades associated with the fire. Since the motor needs to come out for insurance work that creates an opportunity to install the heads, properly reseal the oil pan, new headers with good flanges and improved clearances would be an improvement. A mini-starter to replace the stocker........it never ends. :D

The sub I have is pushed inward slightly just to the rear of the upper control arm mount but those frames don't look to be too hard to tweak IMO. I've checked the width and triangulated spec measurements it doesn't appear to be more than .25" out but I haven't checked the vertical dimensions yet. Once I get torn down and cleaned up I'll get it straighted and weld up the seams for additional strength have it blasted and powdercoated.

I'll be working with the restoration shop on fairly capturing labor where-ever possible. Every dollar adds up even though the itemization takes a fair amount of time. Wire, terminals, and fasteners add up fast.

I believe BG was bought, I'm thinking I heard by Summit.

Wow Sieg sorry to hear about this but hat least you caught it so you stil have a car to rebuild. Keep going you'll get it back on the road in no time! :thumbsup:

She'll be back.. Bigger, Better, Faster & REV approved!!

Thanks Rick, it'll happen. :yes:
Rev is having separation anxiety.

Man, I can't believe I missed this. Sorry for the troubles Sieg but I'm glad it wasn't so bad.

I've never liked mechanical oil pressure gauges because of the simple fact that you are bringing hot oil into the car. There's no reason to not use an electric gauge from now on. Corvettes have a electrical aftermarket upgrade for the factory gauge. I'm sure there's one out there for the Camaro. I'd upgrade to electric.
