Sitting in it's new home.
So my original plan was to just use the standard plans (which are designed for a solid axle) and adapt it for the independent rear suspension of the Miata, but after much staring and thinking, I decided that the best thing would be to take apart everything I had from the bulkhead back and start from a clean sheet design. Off to Solidworks I went, and I ended up with something that I think will work.
Tore everything apart, and the beginnings of the new design. By the way, as you can see in the pictures, I picked up my differential a couple weeks ago. Some guy on Craigslist was parting out a 1994 Ford Thunderbird V6, so I picked up the 7.5" 3.27 differential, half shafts, and the driveshaft just for good measure.
If you squint and use your imagination, it's sort of starting to look like a car. Squint hard.
