Okay this is the car in all its glory ugly as heck, but hey its an auto-x car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/new_shocked.gif) This one is from my first season of auto-x with this car.



Heres what it looks like today. Made it even uglier (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif)



Here is the goal, I can sketch ideas, but I can not draw at the level of others on this forum. Thank you 914 Visulizer. and my black pen. Now if I could find a good front view. And the flares are not on the car since I'm not using GT Flares.



But you get the general idea.

First of Miata sold, one less temptress in my life. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Got to work this after noon, started taking out the engine shelf pieces, just needs cleaned up not with a grinder. Need to order more disc for that too. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)





Oh no, I busted an old hell hole repair loose, investigate that latter. No reason to open that can of worms just yet.



Opened up the holes for the radiator exhaust exits.

My rad opening is 26.25 sq. in. These exits combined are 67.5 sq. in. Need to re-enforce the opening, add some mesh, and then I am thinking about Louvers just to keep crap from trying to come back in. Over kill I am sure.

Started with a template.

And this might be a helpful tip, after trying to get a 12" ruler in the hole to scribe the final trim line, I deceided that a sawmill blade will do the trick as a guid, and it is slightly flexible. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif)



cut all the lines then ground them down to the scribe line.



Rinse and repeat on the other side.



the sign of todays progress.



An now for an idea, well two really.

Pink idea:

Adding 14a of steel down the inner log to catch the inside box. I would llove to run it into the cabin, and tie into the egmann kit. Any benefit?

Blue Idea. Adding a semi jointed rod from the ear up to the seat belt retractor Nice stiff area of the firewall, maybe it will work.location. Thoughts, open to suggestions.
