At the 6-Pack trials a couple of weekends ago, there was a TR6 with just this
set-up! The car will be featured in an upcoming issue of Hot Rod magazine. I
will be looking for it, and will post to the group when it hits the newstand.
The car was supurbly done - first class workmanship and engineering all the
way. Really spun my crank to get home and get cracking on my own conversion
project.
