That coupe mod has to too much win!
I’m unable to describe the lust I’m having after that ass.
Thank you for posting.
But most of all…
Thank your for your time and effort on making what Mazda never did.

Greeting from Mexico

I saw a green Miata on line with reshaped body panels front fenders single headlights. Very nice. Can I purchase these panels from you, if not where did you get them?

I would hardly call Mr. Woolery harmless… He’s an enigma trapped inside the body of a conundrum who’s influence stretches across the great plains of science, history, fiction, and government… and of course automobiles. Excellent site!

I’m a regular guy who, by day, works as an IT manager. I don’t make a lot of money, but I do tend to prioritize what little money I do have towards the cars. These cars are the sum of years of saving money and lots of DIY labor. I remember being where you are now…barely enough money to cover the essentials, but I still saved some money towards the purchase of my cars and their mods. It took about 15 years to save up for the Atom, and the Pitcrew Roadster is the result of over 20 years of slow tinkering. You’ll get there, somehow, if it’s important enough to you. If I could give you three tips, it would be these:
-Always save money up for mods or a car….never let money burn a hole in your pocket for something right now. That’s what allows for the big purchases down the line.
-Always save/wait to buy the best. Otherwise you’re just throwing your money away for immediate gratification….and it won’t last. It’s better to save up for a year to get that ONE best part then buy a couple of crappy parts over time leaving you wishing you’d just been patient enough to wait for the best.
-Try to never sell a car. Think long and hard about which one you want…and stick with it through thick and thin. It’ll pay for itself over the long term. I bought my Miata new back in 1989 and slowly modified to excellence. It was my only car for over 17 years. That saved me a LOT of money over swapping cars periodically, allowing for more mods and better cars down the line.

Hello Garage Woolery,

First off, i must say thank you! From looking through your photo collections of your miscellaneous projects, i feel as if I have seen some of my very own ideas not only come to life, but be executed better than i had ever envisioned!

However, now on to the kinda-awkward-but-still-needed-second-paragraph-where-like-every-unknown-internet-individual-i-ask-a-question paragraph…….yea…

What is it you do for a living?

How is it that you are able to pursue such a hobby at an almost extreme level?

I too have an almost extreme desire to work around, and individualize many of todays automobiles, (namely the miata to start, but i have more renderings drawn then i care to admit) yet i seem to lack the needed funds to pursue said desires, at least after taking care of my priorities. Some of my older friends, (im 23) say that i need to change my prioirties around, but i refuse go in serious debt, or lack the ability to be able to pay my bills for a hobby. With the aforementioned lack of available funds, come a certain inner anger at my current financial situation. I feel as i may be doing ok for someone of my age, but i feel, without a shadow of a doubt, that there are better ways to go about life. And judging by some of the results i have seen from your gallery, it seems that you may have figured out such a way.

While this might quite possilby be the strangest message you have had in a while, i hope that this is the first of many conversations.

i hope that I have in no way offended, or made you uncomfortable.

And if nothing else, please keep up the fantastic work, as I, among others, will continue to enjoy the results!

there is a Japanese roll bar that was setup similar to this but used the striker bolts with spacers and 2 tubes with a gusset in between them.
