Hackster's Need for Swede 😁

[rustomatic]

Is that little sanitary napkin thing seriously all the "hydramat" consists of? The idea of the internal regulator seems cool (not so much for the price, given the $35.00 for the C5 setup), but it's quite a challenge to believe that little absorbent pad will alleviate the need for baffling under g-loading. We shall soon see. You have a Panhard bar setup in the works?

The lack of interest thing is a challenge. There's a lot of pretense in the world, and if you don't have a really shiny Camaro that will make you look like you really won the world after high school (did that really happen?), you just can't win. This is okay, and it's why I've been using Google Translate to read Swedish and Norwegian build threads lately. The guys over there just want to engineer stuff to go fast, regardless of whether the end product will be appealing at the 30-year high school roundup.

Man you and I are always on the same page.

I was skeptical as well about the tank tampon....until I started talking around. There are way more people using them than you would think. I have 2 friends that have them in their KOH rigs and zero issues. Lots of the lemons and long distance race cars are using them as they allow them to literally run the tank totally dry. Most of them are able to run an extra 10 to 20 minutes with the hydramat than without. The hydramat is made of cells that open when in contact with fuel and close when out of it. The hydramat only has to touch the fuel to suck it up. There are some amazing videos of it out there and I have several guys local that swear by it.

I just want to build stuff and keep getting better, I dont usually buy anything off the shelf, this build has been a little different but still no mass produced parts. There is some amazing stuff coming out of Europe and even a few of the shops here in the states but you really have to look. I love the pro touring scene but it can get stale pretty quick. Some bad ass cars without a doubt.

We should get together some day man, would love to come down and hang out some weekend.

I don't care what others think, I'm excited every time I see that Sean has updated this thread...

I dig it so much that I don't even care that the pictures are so huge I have to scroll back and forth to view them.

Outstanding work!

I've been following along since the first post, enjoying the build. Not only is it cool "dare to be different" but I am learning things along the way.

I think this is my first post here and all I have to say is what he said. ^

I read your whole truck build and loved it, this is intriguing to me as well. You can only get into so many Camaro builds. And I am a Chevy guy myself.

I think every car I see has something to offer but in all honesty if I never see another 67-69 Camaro build in any shape or form I will be good with it. Trucks that go fast but shouldn't , rambler station wagons , Volvo P1900's , 64-65 GM A body wagons or El Caminos , anything Mopar and anything else off the beaten path is what I dig. Anyone can build the mundane but the stuff you rarely see is where I get excited.
