Whats with the ignition. Cool car!

Rand Man · 04-10-2008, 10:12 AM

That's pure hot rod boys. I bet there's a pretty good power-to weight ratio.

Love this car, I saw a picture on here some where of it on a trailer at ashow

Love that Miller dash! I'd really like to know more about those taillights as well.
Beautiful car. I mean BEAUTIFUL!

Ryan, you should find one of those dashboards, put family pics in the holes and hang it in Miller's room.

Gigantor · 04-10-2008, 10:17 AM

Like an airplane without wings ... boy howdy, does that look like it's fun to drive. I'd like to know more too.

That car belongs to one of Pat's family members, I think it's his father-in-laws.
Maybe he can tell us more about it.

Doc.

sweet looking ride.
What's up with twelve plug wires?

**Ryan** · 04-10-2008, 10:37 AM

dual plug head... and check out the oil fill on the valve cover. Cool.

justanotherguy · 04-10-2008, 10:39 AM

You can see a lil somethin' about it in the April Hop Up on line too.

That car certainly caught my eye. My favorite part? The Taillights. I think they were 37 chrysler?

**Mr48chev** · 04-10-2008, 11:10 AM

Wow< I can see right now that I am going to have to print out those photos to help one of my projects along inspiration wise. That car definetly has lots of great ideas to help with planning my two seater along similar lines.

Any shots of the other side?
Now I have to follow this link and check it out.
Very inspiring Boss.

Rolls Royce?
They have run redundant plugs on their engines.

retro54 · 04-10-2008, 11:23 AM

Ryan, thank you, now if that's not inspiration, I don't know what is! I gather from hop-up it's new, although the other online mag caption says 'vintage lakes racer'... I'd love to know the story behind it as well!

tjm73 · 04-10-2008, 11:34 AM

Cool car. I would like to see it without the body mounted.

Richard D · 04-10-2008, 11:46 AM

Unclee said he saw "Miller" on the motor somewhere. I asked the man who built it what it was, he said I had to guess. I also asked if he was a machinist, he laughed and said he was a telephone man!
