Thanks! This was a good build and I learned a lot from it, but it will probably will be a one off. The roof was a bit harder to do than originally though. I will however relax the radius some for a future build, probably starting near the center of the body next time.

My first car was a 1972 Opel Manta - mine was green, but otherwise very much like the red one in your picture. I haven't seen one of them in these parts for many, many years!
