This will be a log of my journey in recreating a version of the "Manning Special" race-car originally made by Charles "Chuck" Manning. I will update as I progress through the steps of building the frame, rebuilding a Ford Flathead V8 and making a fiberglass body all to the time period standards (American 1950's Sports Car standards). lets just say here that I will not be posting all the time. So you (the one other person reading this) shouldn't wait for posts weekly.
