This is sort of a plea for help and/or generosity on the part of
fellow sol'ers. I need a hood from a GT6 mark III. I have searched around
Michigan for a good one, but I live in the rust belt. Most of the stuff I
have found has been in some state of disaster. So my reasoning is, faced
with spending a week of my life repairing and preping a poor hood, I'd rather
spend a couple of days driving somewhere where I can get a nice one in the
first place. (Or put another way, I'd rather shove pins under fingernails
then spend a week of my life repairing a hopelessly rusted hood). I also need
the small trim panel that mounts to the front frame crossmember just below
the grille. My car will soon be going to the paint shop, and I really don't
have much time to get one (about 2 weeks).
I need a good frame too, but the pressure is not as great to get that.
What I would really like is if someone knew of or could find a really good
frame, hood, and trim panel east of the Rockies. I would get it or have it
shipped depending on what was cheaper.
On top of all this, I'm going to move at the end of the summer and I
need to get rid of alot of stuff in my workshop. If someone could arrange a
trade or something for the GT6 parts, I could bring the any of the following
items with me:
79 1500 engine
76 1500 engine
(note: DW sort of has dibs on one of these 1500's)
Very slightly used monza exhaust
Plastic bumpers, (the whole assemblies) off a 79 spit
1296 engine
couple of transmissions (Spitfire)
4 or 5 cd carbs from various years
lots of other things I can't remember right now, all of this
is associated with spitfires
If you can help with getting the GT6 parts or are interested in any
of the above items please contact me.
On another note, progress continues on converting the Spitfire to
a 6 cylinder engine. I'm in the 'throw alot of cash at it' stage of the
project. Some engineering work has been done. I have designed a torque
tube which will couple the transmission and the differential and remove
(hopefully) the engine loading on the frame. I'll keep you posted on the
success or failure of it. Thanks in advance...
