Cheers, Kyle. |
I feel your pain, my cab is way beyond my skils. I have to resort to pulling the cab and replacing it with another.

Why don't you set the original engine aside, and build another engine? That way, if you ever decide to sell it, just swap the original engine back it. |
Im not so sure about 40 grand.....maybe 30 grand. But keep in mind that just because something is worth 30 grand that doesnt mean someone is willing to give you thirty g's. Anyway looks like an excellent project. Drop a wicked motor in it do some body work make it a driver and a weekend warrior. My buddys got a 67 with a 383 stroker and that baby will GO. Give it a wicked stance with some serious meats.
This stance is incredible..even for a camaro: http://www.dragtimes.com/images/1294...let-Camaro.jpg |
It might be one day but normally the value of classics are like a rollercoaster. They go through a time where the are highly desired and extremely valuable but then they get down alot cheaper the next couple of years. Like mine when we bought it it was worth around 12-13 but now I would be lucky to get 10. And to be honest most origianl cars are worth as much as restomods just depends on the buyer. But anyways it is coming along great and starting to look pretty good.

Auction blocks are not a measure of a car's value. ;) And number's matching rarely means anything unless the car is rebuilt just like stock. And the market for totally original rebuilds is a strange market, prices go up and down. Your dime-dozen customs fair better. 20s-30s for a solid and well thought restomod. But, you can find daily drivers under 10 grand pretty easy.

Plus they are high revving V8s with great power high up. Nice body work so far! |

Predators aren't great street carbs. They're basically just a set of flood gates for a race motor that spends most of it's life at WOT :lol:. Very thirsty too, and you'll have to run an open plenum intake if I recall right, so you loose some streetability there too. |
That's what the internet is for. Hell they're everywhere on the Houston Craigslist, I can find'em for 50 bucks. Jegs and Summit have brand new ones for 250ish and for not much more they come in performance versions as well.
They'll perform like a beast and still be decent on mpg. |

The reason they get a bad wrap is their complexity and since they are stock carbs, they see a lot of abuse and wear before another person gets it. So their impression of it is based on a carb they don't understand that has been on a car most it's life.. :roll: Brand new, in a street/strip car, they're hard to beat in their balance of power and drivability. |
I'm sorry, but you have said "Oh I'll get a vid. of it running" like 2 or 3 times now. Your updating this thread with no pictures...
Why even bother putting a post up if there is no valid items that we as a forum can view at. We can't imagine the stuff you put down in your thread. I'm sorry if I'm coming off a little harsh, but all I see is a thread with a few pictures, and posts claiming to put videos up. I see a huge fault in this, no videos and pictures make a boring thread. I'm not sure how you can get comments on your engine, draintrain, body, interior, electrics, or anything unless you post pictures and have a more detailed post afterwards. Take some thought into your post, yes I know your "updating" this, but truely it looks to me like bumping. People post to pictures the majority of the time. If you can supply the pictures, people will view your thread more, and post on your thread more. Pictures pictures pictures. If you have a cell phone with a camera, who cares if the picture is blurry, send it right to your email addresse' and slam it onto Photobucket! Post it up in here. It seems like your doing your work right, but I want to hear and see this Camaro run, but I can't without a video. Blade. |
