I'm not saying this is what you ought to do but, I've always wanted to find
a good, structurally sound, TR-6 and stick one of those new body shells on
it as a project! If I had my "druthers" and unlimited funds (DA??) , I'd
love to do that.
A bit off-topic but, I know a guy that placed an AC Cobra (fibreglass) body
onto a TR-6 frame and stuck a Ford (Cleveland) 351 in the engine bay!! I'm
still amazed that the stock rear-end has held-up and hasn't broken the
mounts yet!!
