Seems like it would be easier to put the Spit body on the GT6 frame. By
easier, I mean you avoid the engine/drive train/front suspension problems,
and get to solve easier problems. This is just a seat of the pants guess,
though, as I have not done conversion of any kind. ( I realize this is a
straight-line in need of a punch-line, so go ahead, if you must)
