    I will start a build thread when I get stuck into it. Looks like I might have time in the spring.

    I fell in love with the Montage in the early 1980s but did not know it was a loose copy of a Mclaren. There was no way I could afford to buy a kit back then as the cost in the UK was £10,000 if I remember right and I was only 18 years old at the time.

    So I made my own version and even sold some before moving on to another sector of the car market in which I have done OK.

    Anyway since then its been finding time thats been the problem. And then the oppotunity to buy the bodyshell cropped up and I thought right its now or never.

    Its been sitting there a while now and I started to look around the net for info and thats when I found this Forum.

    Thanks

    Andy,

    What I would call a "sister" site has an album of a member that did a very well-done scratch-built chassis of an M6gt, but then he sold off the project once he got to the bodywork stage. Had you showed up a couple of months earlier, you would have had an opportunity at a steal of a deal on his excellent work. The link below should take you to his Yahoo account photo albums. Unfortunately, it does not contain a lot of the photos we saw during the buildup of this project, but it should wet your appetite.

    And some videos:

    Yes I already have seen these videos on you tube and it looked good. I did not know that he had put it up for sale. Shame it was Left hand drive.

    I spoke to another guy at a Hillclimb event that had a McLaren M6B chassis Can Am car that he put an M6GT bodyshell onto and he had all sorts of problems getting the body to fit.

    This guy must have had the same problems with the body and given up.

    I have my own glassing shop so sorting the body out properly and remoulding it will be no problem.

    Thanks

    Andy
