We love the Mongrel Project, a combination of a cool old British Ford and Mazda Miata that is somehow right in every way. The stance, the width, the flares, the fabrication, it all speaks to us and has been so much fun to follow. Matt from Urchfab is a machine and he’s been thrashing to get this thing ready. He’s painted more and more of the car but has been focusing on the engine compartment and interior before making a final pass at painting the body. It takes a lot of work to paint a car, and Matt is no painter. He knows what he’s supposed to do, but is doing much of this for the first time ever and we love him for it. Not just because he’s doing it, but also because when he messes something up he tells us all about it and looks for answers on how not to do that again. I like that.

While there is still a lot to do, this project is getting dangerously close to the final stages and we can’t wait to see it come together and get out on the race track. This is the kind of project that inspires us, that’s for sure.

We sure wish we were friends with Matt so we could take the Mongrel out for a spin when done. We think it would be a riot on the right road coarse, that’s for sure.
