It looks good enough to appear to be from a mold of the miata instrument hood. Nice job!

Yo, Willie-
Yeah, what he said... It looks really, really good. Smooth lines, good transitions to the panel behind it. Well done!

Looks really nice. I especially like the look of polished ally with the rivets. Also looks like you're registered. Is that so?

C'mon, man, how about some driving stories?

yes it is registered as a '92 miata it drives well this is the third set of springs started with 450/250 now I am using 250/140 and it rides much better also only running 15 psi in the tires. waiting on the new tires and rims before pushing real hard. Also need to get it realigned and corner weighted. Wife and a friend who restores cars think I should paint the hood black also -- what does the forum think?

Looks fantastic, great job, nice to see another one come to completion.

Re: painting the hood, I think it would make the car look lower and longer, but I think the aluminum looks good, too, and is unusual. An advantage of painting would be that you can use pre-cut louvers to vent the engine compartment if you want. BTW, your painter did a very nice job.
