Looks like a very nice Manta. It will turn ALOT of heads!

Looks great! So does your garage! I see Opel headers on the wall.

I have pictures of the car in the top photo. Saw it when I picked up a car in kansas last fall. I could post pictures if anyone wants to see more.

See not everyone falls for those April Fools jokes (check the pictures closely), thought since Gary was the master I'd give it a try. Wayne your car rocks I had those pictures on my computer because that is the exact color scheme I am planning! Consider I only bought my Manta on Saturday it would have been a miracle to look like that in three days.

What color of brand and color of red did you use? I need a few more months/years before it looks anywhere close to yours!

Dave,
Not my car. The car I bought had been worked on at this shop. It is a clone to this one with dual webers and 5 speed. Been neglected and needs work.

Good joke Dave. I've seen some interesting stuff on your garage walls, but not headers. Anyway JD, now you have something to work toward, and you're on the right platform. But first and foremost, you must go over the rubber and fluids (and anything else obvious) and DRIVE thas car to Carlisle, whatever that leaves undone. Time it right and you might get a support crew or two but you won't need one if you TCB. Penn State ain't playing either so no excuses buddy.
