Nice job. Before you go much further, fit the hood, dash tub & windshield surround. The fit of all these parts is determined by the front to rear placement of the roof support cage, and in some ways, the front to rear placement of the body on the chassis. If you do it now before to many final holes are drilled, you can make corrections easier. Tom

Rumors travel fast!!!! I think we are pretty much done working on upgrading Kathleen's Manxter. Actually, I am thinking of buying a new (short) Manx (Kickout?) body to replace my Fiber Fab. That is the next upgrade we will do, probably over the winter. Time for me to get the real thing! Tom
