Project Silverfish

[1967marti]

I've been dragging my feet a little with this one. I had a lot going on with some big changes around the shop and having a few projects pop in and out for small repairs, but enough with the excuses and lets get started on this car. Owner is ok with a slower pace on this build so I'll do a better job at slowing down and showing the details.



Overview: The owner wants to drop a big engine and aftermarket transmission in this 65 fastback. Wants great handling and performance but stock(ish) appearance.
