JDM Rat Rod?

One of my favorite crossovers and one of the most unique builds I have seen in the past few years has been this Miata. This car manages to combine the elements of rat rod, roadster, and JDM into one completely unique build. The bulk of modifications are obvious, Panasport and Work Equip wheels, carbon hardtop and an OEM lip help get the car off to a great pace, then things get interesting. The trunk is finished in a rod/custom feel patina and the motor is left dirty while being converted over to carbs. Inside, the driver enjoys the holding monster, a Bride Vios III under the shelter of a Carbing rollcage The blend of purpose/fun, show/rod, somehow mesh together rather harmonically through the open ended and cross country feel of the roadster while the JDM pieces add another unique spin on things.
