Re: T70 barn find ?
Thank you, Johan.

It's great to see these fabulous cars in action.

What are you planning to do with the coupe body? Is it going on the Gurney car, or do you have something else planned?

I'm very keen to see photos as you progress if you get the chance (to post the photos, that is; I'm sure you'll progress).

All the best

Re: T70 barn find ?
Johan,

Is that Chuck Beck's 904 replica you're parked next to in the pic from the Petite Le Mans?

Yes, it is. It has a 3.6 in it and screams.

I met Paul Wilson at the Hilton Head Island Concourse D' Elegance and we parked our cars next to each other for comparison. Mine is the one with the chickens on it.

The MK III coupe body is now a shell on the floor, but still looks cool.

Well, for better or worse, it is painted !
Edit : for some reason only half the picture posts and then my rag of a computer "times out".

Re: T70 barn find ?
this is the original dash support structure that was only on the Gurney car. It had been "cut down" when the coupe conversion occured. We re-made it, but I do have the original. The chassis plate is attached to it.

Re: T70 barn find ?
Now all that is left are the headers, wiring, plumbing, fuel cell, gauges (which I have, thank goodness), decals, brakes, bearings, tires, crack check, re-nickel, alignment,
and then put a bettery in it, fire it up, and fix all of the problems that will surface !
