Thanks for the welcome guys. My plan for the roadster are frame off, Miata drivetrain, and lower. I do paint and body so if you guys have any questions about that, hit me up.

Its my brothers car. Its a '76 280z with an '81 turbo swap we built a few months ago. The color is a 2011 Subaru STI Dark Grey Metallic. We did about 130 hours of rust repair and body before I painted it. Came out really well.

I'm back and forth between 2009 Ferrari Monza Red and the Maserati Bordeaux Pontevecchio. Both are dark reds with a pile of pearl but i kinda like Monza Red so that's what I'm leaning towards.
