  4. Thanks! I wish those were real. Apparently they used a recording of the '55 to make that scene. Those sound recordings were even used later as the sound of "Bandit" in Smokey and the Bandit. Poetic justice for sure!

  6. I can't believe it! My detailed walk around video has over 5k views. I'm honored. I thought that I would post it here for those who may have missed it. Happy Holidays everyone!


     
  7. What a blessing! We were out today enjoying the beautiful December weather. The car ran beautifully. Not a single problem. I'm so thankful.

    Thanks to Charlie and his wife for hosting our club's Christmas party. Delicious food and great company. Dan even gave us a brief lecture on battery care and maintenance.

  10. Nice video Nick, well done. You have the best Milner clone I have ever seen. Merry Christmas. Watch out for that bad 55.:)
     
  11. Thank you so much! I'm so glad you and your car are back to top form. Happy Holidays brother. I want to have that '55 as my daily driver. Someday!

  16. Here's my latest video. I took a few minutes to go over my wintertime preps. I cold started the car and let it warm up for a bit. I hope y'all are doing well.

    Enjoy the video!

  18. What if the Milner Coupe had a flathead?

    Here's my most recent video. Just a few comments for those YouTube mechanics who say that I should have never put a Chevy in a Ford. Apparently they don't understand what a clone is! Hahaha. All in good fun!

    Can you believe that one of my little videos has over 100k views? Isn't that crazy? I can't believe it. Oh well. Hopefully the car makes people smile. That's all I really care about anyway. Otherwise it's just for me. Thanks everyone! Have a great week!

    He wouldn't have had the fastest car around :rolleyes: And it would have overheated driving out there. :)

  21. Yea, Falfa would not have bothered to look for him in town. Paradise road may have been quiet that night.

  22. Howdy everyone!
    I hope this winter is treating you well. It has been cold and snowy outside. Soon that will change.

    I can't wait until cruising season arrives. I'm so excited to share with you our winter improvements and additions. Have a great weekend! Nick

  23. Yesterday was beautiful! Elliott and I had a wonderful little cruise in the coupe. No issues. The engine had good power with no idle problems.

    Elliott asked me to go for a ride. I can't believe it. He's 7 and already loves our family's hotrod legacy.
