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.

Look at what Mantis ran across-Holton Secret Lab!


Here is a cool company with an awesome slogan: "We don't test the bounds of creativity. We set them." Now that says something!


Holton Secret Lab is a company out of Helix, Oregon that specializes in custom auto restoration with over 30 years experience in custom painting, design, fabrication and restoration of vintage cars, motorcycles and trucks.


Take a look at Holton Secret Lab for some of the incredible vehicles that have been restored. Looks like they have won a number of awards as well. This '56 Ford Pro Street F-100 is one of many in Holton's Portfolio Gallery.
