Some initial pics of the GT6 getting it home and tearing into it. The GT6 and Spitfires are notorious for turning into rust buckets especially in the floor pan. This GT6 was no different. I picked it up from a guy who had it outside for some time. I payed $500 for it. So far I have sold off $300.00 dollars worth of parts so I have recouped some of my initial investment.

The chassis was the main thing I was looking for. Surprisingly it was not in that bad of shape compared to how the rest of the body looked luckily for me. The GT6 cars are pretty rare much harder to come by than the Spitfires. So when I found one close to home I felt I needed to jump on it. So far it has worked out really well. Even if I do not sale off anymore parts I am only into the Chassis $485.00.

Today I spent much time getting the media out of the frame and coating it with rust proof primer. It is now sporting a bright yellow chassis with nice green shock towers. Pics of the rust proofed chassis I will have tomorrow.

Let the project begin!
