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!
