MANTIS: Whenever the mood stikes us, we’ll pose an issue designed to help you share your knowledge of customization and restoration techniques ― or even better, to seek the input of your fellow RodzReaders. These challenges will be issued with photographs that dramatize that issue and give you visual clues to fire up your brain storm. Mantis will also be featuring cool websites that will help fellow Mantis members with troubleshooting and solutions to some of their car questions.
