Re: 62 comet, Miata Drivetrain Build
Wheels came in :) They are 16x8 Imagine a round tin,painted body color, that will cover all the spokes, leaving the chrome lip. The original hub cap will snap onto that tin. I hope it ends up looking somewhat like an original wheel. http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee155/dimmwatt/Megs%20Comet/imag...

I got her back from Blasting and primer...Here she is naked. No primered pics right now. In one of these you can see the filled radio hole and the added holes in the dash for the AC vents http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee155/dimmwatt/Megs%20Comet/20121222_093135_zps9b4e90da.jpg http://i228.photo...

Re: 62 comet, Miata Drivetrain Build
I had thought of that considering I have a few front wheel drive drivetrains sitting around. The comets and falcons front wheels are way far forward. The issue you may have is that the center line of the front axle on a FWD drivetrain is behind the engine. This means the engine sits way far forward....

I'm 6'6" The Snorkel Mic is an intake tube turned verticle. It will eventually live horozontal with a less obnoxious looking filter. Just had it...
