Love it, Adam! Sharka looks good with a little less. Don't you think it will be too much with the new hood? It is very attention grabby.

I donno. Honestly, I NEED the hood. It's pretty and rare, but I need to extract some heat. And it's pretty refined as far as hoods go. There's a lot flashier ones on the market. I guess I'll find out once it's painted...
I blushed. Thank you.
I made something new for Sharka's interior.
I've been working on this off and on for a long time. I wanted something to match my window switch perfectly. There's some fine options out there, but none were a good match. Now I've got it!
The black anodized finish... it really classes up the place. It's a relatively tiny change, but it makes the whole interior feel... well, awesome. There's hardly a plastic control surface left.
My new switch is a great match for my black KG gauge cluster too.
And a matching black anodized window switch.
You NEED the hood because it is awesome. Pure awesome.
I have been waiting for those window switches. Are they on your website?

Yes sir! In my store now.
Adam, you may need another miata for the hood, splitter,....

Nah, sharka totally deserves that GV hood.. Lol
Your interior is immaculate man.
Damn, I've been neglectful of my build thread. I've been posting in my blog, but not here. Shame...
So, earlier, the horn buttons stopped working on my Momo Master. I took it inside for repairs.
Stressful to peel off the 40 year old leather.
I didn't expect this. I didn't know what to expect. A micro switch? I was just opening up the horn button to see what was wrong with it.
70s engineering. That's 2 copper plates and a piece of "rubber" to separate them.
The rubber was solid. Couldn't press it at all. But it reminded me a bit of a keyboard membrane. So, I tore an old keyboard apart...
Nearly perfect.
It works perfectly.
Making continuity and giving a nice, firm bit of feedback from the 5 keys worth of plungers.
Time to put the leather back how it should go.
Good as new.
New connectors finish the restoration.
I love this wheel. It feels so perfect in my hands. And the style is so unique compared to the ones being sold today. Glad I took the time to make the horn buttons work again.
And then Sharka got another set of gauges.
Version Barcode
I've wanted to do some 9 o'clock gauges for a while. Finally got a design put together that works well.
These are sort of an evolution of my Stirling gauges. Very different, but similar in a lot of ways.
Love my amber lighting.
I took my daughter for her very first ride in Sharka.
We went to the mountains. It seemed like a first ride needed to be more than a trip to the store.
Has a Miata ever looked THIS big?
We parked and explored the mountains. She collected sticks. I snapped pix.
Again daddy AGAIN!
We stopped to pick some flowers after hearing "SUNFLOWER SUNFLOWER SUNFLOWER!" for about 5 turns after passing a patch.
Sprinting back for more Sharka drives.
One happy girl.
It was the very best day of my life. For real. I'm so lucky.
I got up early, hoping to score some Blue. We went to Combo's corner. Nothing.
Not a teenth to be found.
We went over to the Railyard for a cash drop.
We stopped at Gus Fring's Laundry. No lab there anymore, just a smoking hole. And, well, the Laundry.
No sign of Fring here either. And they changed the sign. Used to say Los Pollos Hermanos.
At least the sign is still inside.
Couldn't get into Jesse's old duplex. Someone changed the locks.
Pinkman wasn't at his house either.
We went to the Car Wash. Skyler told us to get the fuck out. We obeyed.
We went here to blow off some steam and shred some tires. Lots of rubber was already in the lot. We added to it.
The DEA was closed. It was the weekend after all.
I checked the plant in the lobby. Sometimes there's a dead drop. Not today.
They converted Tuco's hideout to a coffee shop. Goddamn hippies...
We paid our respects to Gus Fring.
Sat on the roof and thought of what to do next.
Finally we went to the big man's house. I respectfully rang the bell. Heisenberg answered. SCORE!
Blue Sky at last!
#BreakingBad
When I found out you lived in Albuquerque I immediately thought of Breaking Bad. I wanted to ask if you were a fan, but I thought it would be weird if I randomly contacted you asking if you watched Breaking Bad. After a few months my curiosity has finally been subsided. Thank you, Adam.
Awesome pictures as always.
My build thread and my Instagram.
HA! Yeah, I'm a fan. I didn't used to be. I watched the first season of the show and couldn't get into it. Seemed... I donno. It wasn't my bag. Then I missed a few seasons. Then I was on a project with a guy who was a HUGE BB fan and was convinced to give it another chance. About the time I finished season 3, I was hooked. I donno... as Jesse became more of a real person and less the comic relief, I really enjoyed more. Or perhaps as Walt became more of a badass it got more interesting.
Gonna be savoring those final 8 episodes.
