Twokidsnosleep Posted July 20 Author Posted July 20 (edited) 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 Edited July 20 by Twokidsnosleep
Twokidsnosleep Posted July 22 Author Posted July 22 (edited) This is a really nice tribute car photographed in a good setting A lot of intelligent hot rod guys modified the movie car and improved on it with suspension changes, replacing temperamental Rochester carbs and even keeping a bigger radiator to cool a larger engine. As I dive down hot rodding coupe’s rabbit hole, I can totally understand these mods to improve driveability, reliability and comfort. Edited July 22 by Twokidsnosleep

I know some will hate me for saying this but the iconic Milner coupe was kinda strange looking with the sectioned grille not aligning with the cowl. The car pictured above looks much better, IMHO. 2

Yep I would agree The functionality of a larger cooling space was emphasized by one clone owner who had a larger displacement engine than the movie car and so wanted more surface area for cooling purposes vs smaller area to look cool. Many put in rear shocks and springs to improve highway ride and overall ride comfort. Cannot argue with that as they have to live with and use the car
Twokidsnosleep Posted Saturday at 04:37 PM Author Posted Saturday at 04:37 PM (edited) Dry run of carb location and correcting alternator position..3D print had it backwards vs the movie car imagine tuning SIX carbs😵💫 Edited Saturday at 08:35 PM by Twokidsnosleep 2
Twokidsnosleep Posted Sunday at 05:19 PM Author Posted Sunday at 05:19 PM (edited) Reversed the alternator support to duplicate the movie car location. Black one is original position to the right of the engine, mine will sit left Carbs were primed grey, painted stainless and then dry brushed aluminum for highlights Digging into the box of goodies for detail stuff Green fuel lines will look cool Edited Sunday at 05:26 PM by Twokidsnosleep 1
Twokidsnosleep Posted Sunday at 09:01 PM Author Posted Sunday at 09:01 PM (edited) Working on these in aluminum Lots to refine on them still And made and wired up the rotor as well. Red hair monster in the background vise Edited Sunday at 11:32 PM by Twokidsnosleep 2
Twokidsnosleep Posted Sunday at 09:26 PM Author Posted Sunday at 09:26 PM (edited) Found a mirror tape in my goodie box. Not bad, should have sanded the firewall smooth a bit more. maybe I will try some over my aluminum, that might be smooth enough Edited Sunday at 09:45 PM by Twokidsnosleep 4
