[TR] NATC 2008: VTR/NASS Spitfire Rebuild

[Blake Discher]

Posted for Geof Bush.



Long looked upon as the entry level Triumph, the Spitfire has been
popular for a many years.  Its popularity and affordability made it
the longest running Triumph production (1962-1980) and the largest
production numbers (314,332) of any Triumph produced.



The North American Spitfire Squadron (NASS) is sponsoring the ultimate
tech session at the 2008 NORTH AMERICAN TRIUMPH CHALLENGE taking place
August 4th-8th in Ypsilanti, Michigan. NASS members will be
supervising a 48-hour rebuild of a 1963 MKI Triumph Spitfire.



Former NASS Membership Chair, Geof Bush, will be heading the team that
will rebuild the Spitfire.  Other NASS members planning to supervise
the rebuild are John Gray, Dave Doehler, John Lamberg, Mark Jones, and
Randy Joles.



Shift supervisors can't do the rebuild alone.  Many more volunteers
are needed for the rebuild team.  We need more volunteers to work each
shift.  If you can know which end of a screwdriver to hold or know the
difference between a spanner and a roundy thing, you are more than
qualified and welcome to join in to assist.  If you are interested in
volunteering or have any questions, please contact Geof Bush at
