Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The project begins with an introduction to Mark Martin's #6 Ford Thunderbird (chassis JR10), which was his first win car in 1989 and continued to race in various configurations until 1995. The car was later found not in an authentic condition for its race-winning era. The goal is to restore it to its 1993 Phoenix race-winning configuration. This phase involves extensive research, including studying old photos, videos, and race footage to identify the exact specifications and modifications from that specific race.

Goal: Understand the exact 1993 Phoenix race-winning configuration of JR10.

>> This is JR10. Mark Martin got his first win in this car in 1989. It won several races after that in different configurations until being used as a backup until 1995. and it wasn't in really authentic condition for that time. So Mark had it sent to GMS Fabrication in Statesville, North Carolina. They spent the better part of a year going over every nut, bolt, and rivet on this thing to make it as close as possible to its Raced Win configuration at Phoenix in 1993. This
