... and you did this at home?
Although I'm not I'm not in the market for one, I can appreciate the craftsmanship - makes my little projects look sad.

Re: Lightyear MX5 NA/NB Fastback
I didn't finalise some details on the fastback. I will make another one soonish for another test. The boot hinge design isn't finalised either. So I will spend more time on that. I didn't want the hinges to be seen. But it seems I might have to make a compromise by adding a little bump for the pivot point at the lower corners of the back window,

If you need any custom brackets or what not laser cut and pressed I'd be happy to help out, super keen to see this happen. I can also help with CAD work.
