Hello Everyone, It's been a tough winter. Shortly after getting the Manta home I broke a bone in my foot. That laid me up for awhile. Then I needed surgery a few weeks ago (not my foot). I've been recovering and am just now thinking of getting back to my shop.

I started a list of what I was going to need to build the Manta. I was going to run an LS engine that I had. Looking into transaxles I found that I was going to spend 12K or more to get one that had the gearing that I needed, had limited slip and could handle the power. I also was going to have to build a new frame.

I decided that with my health issues that now was not the time to take on the Manta. I had several people contact me about buying it. I sold it last week. I've decided to stick with my Cheetah inspired car. I love it and I'm going to upgrade the drive train and work on a top. Sad to see it go.
