Default 1968 Manta Ray kit ??

Own a '77 vette. love it.

I have seen kit cars on the web for '53 vettes and even C2 stingray body kits. Heres my question.. Where, or who would have the ability to make a Manta Ray body kit??

I was thinking it could be mounted on a 69 vette chassis big block.
Someone should do it...

you know... that's a fact... the mirors on my vette keep giving me a great view of the vette's hip (*** curve.. haha)
though I like it.. it worries me sometimes because of the safety factor...
and these cars didnt have airbags...

Hey thanks for the www.makoshark2.com link Ryan..
thats cool that someone had the patience and a ton of filler to do all that bodywork...

Hi

There must have been a kit at a time because you find once in a while a mako shark C3 on the market.

All the guys who have made the mako shark out of their C3s have neglected to lower the cars by a couple inches and enongate the rear end by atleast 1 foot, to get the triangular tail that we see in the GM file photos..
thats why the fronts look great but the backs are bummers...
