Matt Urch, the owner of Urchfab is known for building some pretty cool and weird things. He’s a welder, fabricator, and gearhead that sees things just a little askew from the norm and that makes us like him a lot. When we saw that he was taking a Mazda Miata chassis and putting it under a 1959 Ford 100E, we thought it sounded pretty cool. In fact it reminded me of my buddy Bob who has several Miata chassis’d hot rods, including a couple of old Datsuns that kick some serious ass on the autocross and road course. Whether you like little cars like the Miata or not, you have to appreciate the skill and creativity it takes to pull something like this off.
We can’t wait to see how Urchfab puts this whole project together, as this is the first installment in the build. We have a feeling that however he decides to proceed, it is going to be something that raises eyebrows and gets folks attention. We hope it hauls ass and is as rad as can be too. Check out this first video as Urch takes apart the original Ford 100E in order to get the body ready for the swap.
