I thought this may be an interesting build for some of you.

The projects theme is to produce a classic looking car whilst running sensible modern upgrades underneath to make it easier to live with and maybe a little more powerful.......

Specification

1965 Fastback.

Rod & Custom full suspension system, coil overs etc.
Wilwood Disks all round, power master cylinder.
hydraulic clutch system.
Power steering ( part of the suspension setup. )

Engine, 302 block stroked to 347 blueprinted and balanced, custom hydraulic cam fit for the specified gearbox and diff.
4 BB carb, alloy heads and Weind intake, roller rockers and arp fasteners as we really want this to rev!

Gear Box, T5 manual gear box with upgraded internal gears for the extra power.

Diff, 3.5 LSD in the rear.

custom leather interior,

Modern electrical system and bespoke sound system.

some images for interest, enjoy!

looks like it will be a great pony when finished, have to say the sound system is a waste of effort as you won't hear it, trust me.

Well the exhaust note is beautiful with a 347 stroker, but the sound deadening is also a heat insulator, helping keep the car cooler in summer. Our last mustang had a brilliant sound system and it really did work, especially on longer journeys!

Thanks for the comments.

Al, any updates here? Hopefully the car has even completed. I'd be interested in the remainder if the build.9
