Hey Mike,
Looks good you are getting close to a test drive, nice work! I like the wheels what size / brand did you go with?

Hi Gus,
Sounds like you have been keeping busy, congratulations on your daughters marriage. Have you brought the Miata out on the new Thompson road course yet?

Thanks for the kind words, I have been keeping busy doing freelance industrial design work and I like the flexible hours and short commute.
Yeah the dollys I built from leftover tubing, I could make up a drawing with some dimensions and post if that helps?
Looking forward to seeing progress on your build.

I have been bouncing around on things as you can see, not much finished but still moving forward.
Decided to go with a new roof, the old one was going to be way to much work. Pulled a nice inner support off one of my parts cars (that people keep stealing parts off)



Nice factory weld, from the days before drug testing!



Sprayed the underside of the roof with LizardSkin Ceramic Insulation.





Working on setting gaps for the flush glass, want to go with stock glass to keep costs down, this is going to take a while!



Made up some wheel offset fixtures to work out backspacing just in case I run across any deals along the way. Going to try and fit 275/35-18 on 10" W. fronts
