build instructions

2018-10-16 by Dave Sell

I know some of these cars were available as kits, are there build instructions available?  In particular, build instructions for a Mantula Spyder.

Thanks

Maybe this will help.  Pre-1971, but we take what we can get, right?

Thanks, I'll look at these to get any ideas I can for how to disassemble/assemble my version.

You're welcome.  Do note that mine is a wood chassis car.  So there are
likely to be some measurements that will differ.

I used to own 3/5349 another wooden chassis V6 (it is now in Iowa), so I do see several differences between the wooden chassis and my Mantula.
