Thanks, Brian.

Yeah, I have a number of standing craigslist searches setup on my phone for things that I'm specifically looking for (a rear finisher for example). Sometimes its useful to just go wonder a yard looking for "gold mines", ya know?

Obviously, I can call around to all the local yards, but there are a LOT...and, I thought others might have already sussed out the ones that are more miata centric. Years ago, when I used to work on Mustangs there were a couple of yards that had TONS of mustang parts, and others that you could wonder for hours looking for one or two. So, I always went to the "goto places" before spreading farther afield.

It’s fun to walk around and see what they got.
One local guy here has some already dismantled in containers.
So it’s a quick call, do you or don’t you and how much,
sometimes it’s a, let me go check in the container.

Tough to find Miata stuff in yards 'round these parts.

I have one black and one blue Miata finish panel in Houston. You will have to wait until October though for me to get them out of storage.
