    Looks like you’ve got some more winter to assemble this beast - and by the way - thanks for sharing some of your cold weather - we’re down to the forties in Florida - which of course causes a mass freak out - anyway - please post some more chassis pix before you button this up - and just for fun - how about some group shots of your parts and subassemblies - that would be cool …. and yes I do like those door handles … worth the time and effort …

    Photo 1 - the white metal Miller kit has a nice 2 Piece frame …. The resin kit behind is Harold’s 91 fr Dr Miller - if my recollection is correct - it was mastered years ago by Etzell but never kitted - Harold may have mastered the detail parts - anyway - it’s first rate …. photo 2. - the Miller 91 fr dr body compared to my 122 body / frame … photo 3. - comparison of Etzell’s great Miller 91 engine Casting with my 122 crankcase and Cyl heads - Etzell’s eng was 25th scale vs my 24th sc eng castings - not much difference … I’ve split and made two separate cyl head castings - so you can see the gap /opening - which is about 3/4 inch scale …

    The Miller you are referring to is the 24th scale miller 91 fr Dr produced [still] by sefinecast.co.um. curbside - but they were / are the only craft kit makers I can think of that made Indy kits in 24th scale - on this side of the pond - we’ve always had 25th scale Indy resin kits …. You might not be familiar with the late Chris Etzell’s excellent 25th scale Indy kits - produced 25 - 30 years ago …. And some others by Bill Jorgenson and later - Gary Doucette …. not to mention current EBay offerings by Pennsylvania resin castor Silvercitymodels … [also very good]. Which is why I apologized at the top of this thread for persisting in creating a 24th sc Indy Miller … hope this adequately confuses things …

    Alrighty then - more pichers - Evergreen strip for some flanges - the bolts on the chassis are sourced from RB Motion, Master Club, AnyZ, whatever seems to look right - that I’ve got in my stash … the cross brace w the flanges serves as a top mount for the friction shocks …

    The Indy Millers used friction shocks front and back - I’m figuring out how to fabricate the angled casting used by Miller to link the bottom two shock leaves to the leaf spring - bits and pieces of Evergreen …
  25. absmiami
    The mount for the fr leaf spring is made fr Evergreen angle stock and bar - and a short section of plastic shrink tube - once everything was carved up and glued to the chassis leg - the bolts were added - AnyZ - and Master Club …
