We guarantee you’ve never seen a Mazda MX-5 (or Miata as those in the US like to call it) like the “Odd Rod” before... 

Fabricator Tommy Reichenderfer has taken an NA Miata, swapped in a stroked Ford V8 and painstakingly changed every detail of the car to create a custom steampunk hot rod that’s as fun to look at as it is to drive.
