"This Frankenstein of a motor was dreamed up by Tommy Reichelderfer who meshed two of his biggest loves – roadsters and hot rods.
Due to his job as an engine builder, Tommy was able to apply this knowledge to the Miata which has been transplanted with a 302 V8 engine. And just to mash up the look a bit he’s fitted front-end parts from a 1932 Ford.
The rough and ready look has been achieved by sanding down the bodywork while larger wheels, a lower ride height and long exhaust tips are other custom features.
To prevent rust it will soon be given a clear coat and then Tommy promises to be out drifting in it come rain or shine."
Edit:
oops! I guess this was previously posted and I missed it. Looks like the pic links are broken now:

No harm, I guess. I think I might like to see this with an off-road suspension. It could be a pretty fun toy.
