I like that Neil, looks like it would work well

Thanks Jerry, yea I'm really trying to do the Manta justice, I want it to show well and not be referred to as a "kit car" although I really like kit cars. This is actually not much of a kit, it's got a frame, glass, gas tank and body, and pretty much everything else is up to the builder. The goal is for it to be a real solid driver. I've gotten a ton more experience doing metal work, fiberglass and body work (and grinding) that's for sure!

Then I had to rebuild the footbox, it didn't line up at all with the frame mount for the brake and clutch master cylinders,

Ok, still working on this car, something more fun to talk about....tail lights, here's a pic of the setup on the car from a previous builder, I think it's an old ford van tail light layed on it's side, just wasn't happy with this look.

What I really wanted was the round tail lights like the Factory 5 GTM or Ferrari 308 but their just didn't seem to be enough room for them to fit, so started looking around, saw the tail lights on a Brubaker and thought those would work, they come from a Datsun pickup, but they turned out to be a little too long.
