The DBR1 is one of my favorite cars. I think that it would make for a great build. There is an inexpensive kit that has just come out of it that uses Miata parts by MEV. Their kit uses the Miata suspension cradles, drivetrain, steering and pedal assemblies in the stock Miata locations. While I think the body looks OK in it's own right it's clear that they took a lot of liberties with it to utilize the Miata parts.

The project that I am working on right now uses the Miata parts bolted into a space frame and body that I am making that looks like the late 50's sports racers. By not trying to replicate a specific car it won't be compared to an original.

Have fun.
