Very nice site, and the GT6 is really coming along.
..."coming along" Thats a pic of the car during the early stages of "tear down." Its strange how we consider making the car look worse as "progress". That's actually why we try to keep the wheels on, as we go. Don't want the neighbors complaining. But doesnt seem too big of a problem. 4 households love the car.

Very nice site, and great work on the car. You won't be able to claim that the car has never seen snow though.
Thats ok. I plan on DRIVING this car. So while I'll be heart broken if it gets a rock chip or two, I'm not worried about resale value. Another thing is we dont salt our roads. We use dirt/sand. Also, as the pics show, this car wasnt driven in the actual storm. It merely sat in it. Plus, people are more concerned with what happens to a car after restoration. In other words, it doesnt matter how much rust it gets, so long as its been fixed.
Also in the pic you can see another hood in front of the car. This hood has rust holes, and coming from Denver, I know its seen snow.
My main worry is after restoration, it will still sleep outside. We have bad hail storms. But I guess it will be on collect car insurance. We typically only carry liability only, but since collector car insurance is a little more affordable, it may be worth it.

As you work through the car and have questions or need pictures of anything feel free to contact me. Our GT6 is also a '67 Mk1 and it is largely original apart from some areas that my father-in-law altered and I left as he left them.
Actually, there is something I need. My dash panel (wood part) isnt original. Holes need to be drilled for switches and stuff. I was wondering if there were anyway possible that I could get you to scan me a lifesize template. I'm not asking for you to remove things of course, just if you could get me a rub on of it. Ya know, like children do with crayons? If you can, that would be great, and very much appreciated.

Refreshing to see someone of your generation who is not of the "I want it all and I want it now" mindset.
Oh but I am. As the site said, when I decided I wanted one, I got one. Found it within hours, and called the guy the very next day, then picked up the day after that. Everyone here seems to wait for the "right one" or just give up waiting. I didnt even wait to sell my old car first before I got this one. And in this economy too.
If I had the money, I'd just buy that silver one on ebay that went for $16k. Sure, I wouldnt have to wait for it to be restored, because it already had been, but then I would have to wait months for such a car to even come onto the market. Same if it were just a drivable survivor. I'd have to wait.
Whats irritating is that I have to wait anyway for the restoration. 1) there is no such thing as "winter projects" in TX. You either work on your car because thats the only way you can get to work, or you just hibernate till the first 70 degree Janurary day. 2) My stupid mustang daily driver is being a spoiled brat. I've given it everything! All this month we've been tackling oil pressure issues. First theres no pressure, now theres too much. At least we got it to pass and registered. It seems that when I can work on the GT6, Im stuck working on my mustang.
