Jamey,

Welcome to the list....I'm one of listees holding down the fort while the 
lucky ones are enjoying the VTR convention!

I wouldn't be too concerned about your hybrid GT6....if you like it, enjoy 
it.  I have a '70 Spitfire Mk3 with a GT6 bonnet!  I think it looks rather 
good.  The only drawback is trying to compete at shows where point judging is 
used (versus popular vote).  While my Spit is attractive and solid in many 
ways, it isn't "original" when it comes to the bonnet and that's a tough fact 
to cover up.

Cheers,
