Still lots to do but at least it's drivable!

I wish I had 1/2 your skills. Well done sir.Yes this is an LX9 engine.
Engine cradle and front suspension are fabricated and use miata spindles and a narrowed miata rack.
I fabricated the headers.
DanR, I'm not sure what your are looking at but the radiator is in the stock position. Had to make a support structure for it...maybe that is what you are seeing.
Would rather have not cut the hood but there was no way around it.
If you are still using the soft top the rear metal retaining strip and body seal for the soft top will likely seal it as it does on a series 3-IV alpine.. Your cover is essentially a 1 peice version of the factory cover in that regards.Fabricated a deck lid in the fashion of the early corvettes. Need to scrounge up some way to weather strip it next. Modified top frame pics coming soon.
Surprisingly, other than alot of rattles it's been pretty trouble free.
Yup.. Good point ..Would need to pivot forward off the B post.. But you could modify to pivit off the sides where the top doesn't have to seal against the bodyThe hinges and strut will be in the way of mounting a soft top - if there was any plan of using one.
