Man a Milner clone was in the ‘32 coupe days in Victoria this weekend. Wish I could have made it, would have loved to see one up close! They look like they had a blast, good weather and good media exposure

Body into final paint now and shiny A mock up pictures for motivation. Still lots to do !

The final paint for the body and frame before a 2K clear

Is that a real kit??BRE version would be super cool I have the MPC ‘75 Datsun pick up kit to make the stock blue girl I learned to drive and shift standard on

That is what my build threads are for. I often refer back to them. Try to make points of what paints and techniques used. Not trying to show off, it is my memory aid

Super clean build ! 😎

Ok mates I think I have the right carbs in the right scale now. This was good as it gives me some more room in there Will bend and angle trim some aluminum pipe for the stacks Great reference photo of the decaying engine sitting in the Paramount lot rusting away after the first movie.

Ahhh they were Rochester 2 barrels and I printed the 4 in the file. Oops well, that might give me a bit more room

Mock up engine bay

Superb👍🏻❤️😎

Look at this beauty. Exactly what I was going for, right? 😉

There are no good images of the real cars running gear from the underside, that I can find at least. When you search, you get mixed up with replicas and tributes that didn’t replicate things exactly…understandably Pinning in some rails with brass and the A frame ‘wishbone’ will be polished aluminum. Plan to bend that metal A a bit more as needed to make room for engine and transmission

This is the scene where the cop pulls him over for his license plate light ticket and questions the height I don’t find the girl’s comments before the cop walks up very funny at all.

Raised up the rear 3mm with these styrene shims dropped the front end a few mm by opening up this channel to let the front suspension sit in further Now the front, it sits at a regulation twelve inches, you can check it if you like.

Up on her wheels for the first time like a wobbly foal

There. Added 3mm shim to the rear end axle height

Now a start on the rear end; “ Buggy style springs and brace” Lovely Michigan replica and unknown as the demos Square styrene and styrene sheet. I dialled back the thickness of the leaf springs to .01” from this photo and used five strips instead of six I think I will add one thicker leaf at the bottom to support the thin ones and to have something more substantial to hold the bottom link attatchment point

Today we cut 3mm out of the radiator and grill

Found a cool movie photo when researching too. Not everyone is still alive now, unfortunately.

Some progress happening with 3D engine parts. Got the scale better from reference with the Nova Chevy engine and transmission Heads, valve covers, transmission, bell housing and intake manifolds printed out. I will use that blue block from the Nova kit Have to cut up that intake manifold and print four smaller carbs vs this one large carb shown Thanks a ton to those that have helped me here and in messages…been life saver👍🏻😎

Cheers! that is a super nice thing to say, you have made my day

Rear fenders getting made and over the door rain channels altered

Good reference photos of them here and the metal rod accelerator

yes I finished the F40 see if I have a video of it done
