Okay, here we go. Scott, feel free to jump in here. Mark 1 GT6 body on a
(I believe) a Mk 3 frame, last raced BT Jerry Barr has been taken apart.
Scott will be forwarding the parts he has but we are not sure yet what all
we have.
. This will not happen for a few weeks as this is a very busy time of year
for Scott.
We're not yet sure of the windshield, or of door glass, regulators etc.
Probably no headlights etc. Things such as heater, fan etc probably don't
exist (my guess) anymore. The car will be put back together in race prep
form, but will be driven on the street, go to some car shows and maybe
compete in a Gill climb or track day.
That means all the bits to make it legal. Paint, safety equipment etc will
remain in race prep. It will start out with the 6 in it, but will most
likely graduate the the hi-po 289 that Jerry always wanted in it.
Jerry, as you know, has passed, so my intent is to is to make both Jerry
and the Barr family proud of the car. I'm probably getting far too deep
into this project, but it's the last car I will build, and I'd like to do a
good job of it.
It will not be driven in the winter, so I may be able to forgo things such
as a heater core, but will need things such as defroster and wipers for
when it is driven. In other words, it needs to pass inspection.
Thanks for all the help anyone has to offer.
