Why not?  A little known fact is that all Spitfire and GT6 frames carry the 
same serial number sequence.  This started with FC1 with the first Spit
and continued all the way through the last Spitfire and included the GT6 series 
(both rotoflex and non rotoflex)

WHat this means is that basically all the frames are the same.  Just the hinge 
brackets, accommodations for the radiator mounts and rotoflex on
certain GT6 models, some modification on 1500 models to accommodate the exhaust 
headers and of course the addition of the rear frame extensions for
the 1500 models are differences.  So any necessary changes to be made would be 
model specific but certainly do-able. 

This is how I have a Mk3 GT6 chassis under Tiny Tim the Mk1 Race Spit!

Joe
