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,
