There are lots of new parts for sale that I had planned on using for the rebuild, including SPC control arm kit, spindles, helms, rear end cover, 1.5" DOM tubing, ball joints etc...

Almost back to normal. Starting tear down tomorrow. I'll consider getting a salvage title if anyone might be interested in the chassis less engine. Consider sale of everything and spares to include Tremec Magnum, then anything less I've got offers for 2K for the transmission, and 500 for the LS3 controller kit with pedal, so parting out might be best. I'm just a little slow to tear things apart.

Thanks for all the well wishes. I am well on my way to full recovery. I just gotta stay in wheelchair 12 weeks to heal. But everything works and my eyes are back to normal, focusing on both near and far..

I had a 6 point harness and decent seats. The flip did no damage to me. Side impact protection at least strong enough to take a few g's would of made all the difference to my hip and ribs and head. My pelvis and spleen all a result of the tree and the 16g steel tubing floor pushing very bendy seat in 5". I am told they cut roll cage and and pried me out using the jaws of life. My left upper arm was all scratched up from bumping the tree. I have no memory of the event. From what witnesses said, my car just immediately turned right from the middle lane, into the rear tire of another car. It's tough to say what failed, but I suspect rear stay on lower control arm. It's amazing how the tie rod on the upper a-arm and steering held up, and the mounts to the frame stayed solid, despite 3/8 bolts and a section of frame being ripped completely off. But who knows. This was supposed to be my last ride, before updating the front suspension to speedway metric spindles, new adjustable upper and boxed lower control arms, Trans-Am style etc.. I'll admit, that I've had seen flex under hard braking and recently had a nice off course spin at Dominion Raceway when my front master cylinder seal failed. Who knows. Once I get out of the wheelchair I will take a closer look. AND Once i get onto the build table I'll be able to tell if frame is salvageable. Not sure if a stalker XL with enhanced roll cage/side impact protection in order, or if it best to find an rx8 or miata shell to build off of. I am toying with the idea of an 8 speed auto and awd, sorta along the same lines as Andy Forrest's LS7 Westie.

11 Nov 2021, a rough day.... So I crashed Bomb Girl on Veterans Day. I am O.K. Nobody else hurt. I’ve just a few fractured ribs, bruises, concussion etc.. the worst being my pelvis and lacerated spleen. I have absolutely no memory of the accident or pretty much everything from 11am to 1:30pm. I am told my right front wheel turned into the left rear of another car, spinning them (like a pit maneuver) before sliding off the road, digging into the soft dirt then one quick flip and abrupt stop after bumping a tree. Jaws of life and a saw cut my roll cage off. Thanksgiving came early for me. I am so lucky. Made it home on 1 Dec in wheelchair. Still a little pain in abdomen, left hip and ribs, but healing up quick. Now to wait for the pelvis to heal so I can get up and walk downstairs to the garage to start the disassembly and next build... My daughter took a couple photos attached. Seems the frame is pretty bent in a few spots, and no idea if the motor, trans or rear end are salvageable, as I am told all the oil, coolant and most of the brake fluid and trans fluid are out. No gas leaks. I'm told to not even think about it until I can walk.

Wow. Congratulations. I’m looking for a Miata or Rx7/8 shell... I might be selling my car, maybe as a roller.

Have you any more photos of how your windshield is attached?

The steering wheel is from 2011 when the car was born. Grant 11" suede. I decided to double down and re-invent the car once more this winter. We did the math and it's at 705 flywheel BPH/Ton. I am now targeting Miata weight balance and measures with added downforce and ugh, safety bits.
