Retroformance M6GT Replica - Tales of a Gearhead Episode 117
September 12, 2024
Ben and Dick Strenkowski from RETROFORMANCE are in the shop today. Stacey and the father/son duo dig into RETROFORMANCE’s humble beginnings as a machine/service shop started by Dick’s father, and how that has led to their hot new M6GT project. It’s a redesigned and modernized version of the iconic M6GT that was created by Bruce McLaren to be the fastest road car in the world in 1969. Then it’s off to the mail room, where Stacey answers a listener question about why he doesn’t like to include individual parts prices on projects built on the show.
