I meant to post this one in here too.
Dang, Sharka sets the bar high. Just amazing looking. Once I get my NA, and save some mod money, I'll be hitting you up for warbird gauges (condensed) and both types of switches. The plan is for a warplane tribute to ww2 vet grandad.
I think Sharka is my favorite build. Just something about it.
Some more shots... seats not done yet, grr
This is a vintage leather wrapped Moto Lita I restored that originally was delivered on a Walmsley Sport. Note how the spokes are completely bare, the leather doesn't ride up on them at all. I've never seen another like it.

Some custom gauges from Revlimiter, my design and his execution. Similar is now in the store as version Alpha.

sell me your miata please !! :teehee:
Thanks, and also to many others for inspiration and ideas
And, I got word today MY SEATS ARE COMPLETED finally! Only 9 months spent fussing trying to find a matching leather, pick a pattern, etc. will pick them up Aug 13 from a shop in Frederick, MD on my way to new home and job in Tennessee... Which means installation will be delayed a bit. And the family is thrilled to be making a detour the day of the big move to do Miata stuff.
And they are prolly not going to be as spectacular as I make them out to be. I just really wanted a set with vertical center panels like on an early 60s sports car, made for the seats I have (seperate headrest German NB) and the closest match to LE Red and the Nakamae panels I have, which after going through many samples turned out to be I think a Cadillac color, Napa Red, which is available in both leather and vinyl.
Excited.
Baby also got a NOS Mazda A/C compressor today, and 2 lbs of genuine R-12 refrigerant. So I get bonus points for having vintage refrigerant.
You scored some R-12 :shocked: that stuff is harder to get than unicorn tears around these parts.
It's only hard to get if you're not a licensed AC professional. Otherwise it's still readily available and not too costly.
I don't think my car is as retro / vintage as the cars in this thread but I am pleased with how it is progressing in the short time I have owned it. Haven't done anything really to the exterior as had to a lot of rust and rot, broken Diff, clutch, wheel bearing that all needed fixing at pretty much the same time so funds have dried up for a bit.

Need to change the HVAC and seats and then the interior will be about done.
Finally got rid of the stereo!
