SpeedShift Posted October 22 Posted October 22 (edited) Well Done! ...and you had some first-class competition there. Where did you get the Milner Figure? Edited October 22 by SpeedShift 1
Alan Barton Posted October 23 Posted October 23 Congratulations on your award, Scott. I built a replica of this car about 25 years ago using the skills and knowledge I had then - which is a sneaky way of saying I need to build a new one to a much higher standard today! Your coupe is just the inspiration I need. Looks like you were amongst some stiff competition so the win is award is even more significant! Cheers Alan 1

Twokidsnosleep Posted Monday at 10:35 PM Author Posted Monday at 10:35 PM Back again at this. One of the rear hubs popped off at the contest, somehow so it needed some repairs. Today was the day to thread the rear hubs and the axles. I must say, this guy was no help, like zero. He just sat around smoking the entire time I got it done despite Mr Lazy and it seems to be holding. Then polished up the paint from my fingerprints and took some photos in the little booth I have. All done now
