Project Obsession



"Hi my name is Todd, and I am a car and PT addict".

The timeline will be a little out of whack as I am going to do some cut and pasting to bring my posts here up to date. Please excuse the lumping of all the information in the begining to get caught up.


Actually I had joined the PT site and found a number of references to this site and I've got a lot of really great tips to help me build my car. I already had an idea of what I wanted out of this car but once I saw what some of you guys are building and the fact that some of you guys are doing these build right in your own garage I thought, "what the hell I can do it too".

I've decided to call this project Obsession. The definition is "the domination of one's thoughts or feelings by a persistent idea, image, desire, etc." and since starting to use this and other sites, I think about what I am going to do with this build and it is on my mind 24/7 and keeps me awake at night thinking how I can proceed and what I should do next.


I bought a '67 camaro right in the middle of building a V8 S-10. The S-10 went away and I started on the Camaro.



The engine is already built and ready to go;
355 SBC
10.8:1 compression
Steel crank, Eagle rods, forged pistons all balanced
Edelbrock RPM Performer heads
Crane roller rockers, chrome molley P/rods
Voodoo Solid roller cam
Stealth Ram MPI Fuel Injection




Mated to this is a is a TKO600 trans to a 12 bolt rear diff.

I've started collecting parts and pieces for the car like a complete TCI front clip set-up




I've started dismantling the car and getting ready to flatten the firewall. The whole reason I came accross this website;




I've stripped down the firewall and get ready start some welding;



Time to test fit the TCI front clip and make sure it lines up before it goes out for powder coating;[/SIZE]



Today I picked up a few tools I needed to proceed with Project Obsession.

A few basic hand tools that I somehow have managed without my whole life;


and, the piece de resistance I have seen numerous times so fanally brokedown and bought a rotisserie;





I finally start cutting out the firewall making the next step to start welding in new metal;
