Labour day has come and gone. bowtie6 is back together. Yeah!
We spent pretty much all day yesterday fitting body panels. This is a challenge. TR6’s don’t quite “fit” very well even with a perfectly plumb frame. So we had to do quite a bit of fitment, shims and spacers to make things line up. Suffice to say, after a long day yesterday all fenders are finally bolted on, the bonnet lined up quite well and the boot lid is in place. Quite a day.
Sorry, no pictures but I promise a full set the next time I get to work on bowtie6.
On a side note, today’s post marks a bit of a milestone: this is the 50th post since I started this blog. I’ve been able to track hits via Google Analytics and so far, I have a pretty much global audience.
Just for the hell of it, if you happen to be reading this post – please, make a quick entry and just say where you are reading my blog from. Just curious…
Pictures will be posted soon…
Very nice build, I love all the attention to detail. Love it!

Thank you Bob! Seems there are quite a few folks from Canada hitting my website. Thank you all!
Sweet. Red color is awesome. Is that a triumph color or something different.
No, this is not an original Triumph colour. The original colour was Pimento Red. However Pimento Red was just not red enough. I wanted something really bright, that would make a statement. After a lot of work, I found that Chrysler Viper Red is as pure red as you can get. You can read more about this by clicking HERE (Paint write-up from my old website).
On a clear day, with the right kind of light and the right kind of wax bowtie6 will make your eyes hurt.
