Any access to scales? You have intrigued my interest in my project again.

Glad to see that you still have A/C

I need to mount the radiator in the back for better weight dist.
Trying to figure out the best placement. Any ideas? Of course it needs airflow, but I'd like to keep it as low as possible too. The muffler looks like it will fit best taking the stock exhaust's path, just snugged up to the subframe. I'm trying to decide positioning of: -Radiator -Battery box -Tail lights -Tag Lets hear some ideas... |

What do you guys think? |
Looks like locost 7 fun for 1/900,000th of the price. I dig it.

I'm so sick of seeing flat black these days, it's just over done so I spent forever in Wal-Mart this afternoon looking at colors, but I walked out with Rust Oleum Satin Black, not really what I wanted, but it was about the only color that was available in a spray can and paint can. I walked out with some of each and some rollers. There is a new Rubbed Oil Bronze, or something like that, that looked real neat, like a very slight bronze version of dark charcoal with a very slight metallic, if that makes sense? I tried it on a sample, but when the reality of quick touchups, rolling around crap under the hood, etc. hit, black it is.

Was using the .095 more expensive than .120? Around here it is a special order size at my suppliers. It would probably be worth it in this setup though as 1.5 diameter .095 wall is 1.426 pound per foot & the .120 wall is 1.769 pounds per foot.
I still want to see someone use the front and rear subframe to build a tube chasis for an easy kit car. Not to take away from what you have done. |

Interesting that the .120 would have been more expensive. Around here the .120 runs abour 4.39 a foot and the .095 runs about 4.70 a foot from what I can remember. Not a huge difference, so the availability made it for me.

Can't wait to see it painted, shouldn't be too bad looking, for what it is. Why didn't you keep more of the rear quarter on the passenger side, like you did on the driver's side?

By the way, kind of picking up from the scale reply. Bruce and I pm'd a few times and I settled on using the 325 that I had on the back of another miata for the front of this one and then ordered some 150# & 200# to try on the back. I sure wish I had scales... |

Is your gas filler just sticking up freely? Idk why but that would tickle me in the right way.

So are you going to have to put different springs on it since it weighs so much less?
