the BEST thing at the Detroit Autorama

The car will be complete at this years sema show along with a complete frame.. and they will sit beside eachother.. so u can see all the work that is in the frame, as well as the complete golden sub...

 

Impressive.

 

Awesome pictures! Thanks for sharing!! Very inspirational! Some new ideas brewing for me after seeing those pics!!!!!!

 

What is the make of these tires???

 

Hey, Ash!
It was great to have met you--and Tuck and I really liked chatting with you and your dad. Hope the Autorama was as much fun for you as it was for us!
We both agree that the sub was one of the most amazing pieces...can't wait to see the finished product!
Keep in touch!

PS--I like your tag--"pretty nice car-for a girl." HA!

 

Excelsior Tire reproductions --> made by Coker tire. Used mainly by the vintage racecar crowd.

Brakes are an offshoot of what has been going on in the motorcycle world for awhile. Glad to see someone picking up the idea and using it on an automobile.

If someone has some hi-res pictures or addition pictures of Dan Webb's project, please post! I've spent quite a bit of time looking at the bracketry, brake handle, frame design, hubs, axles, etc -- there are a LOT of unique and original (or modern interpretation of classic) ideas incorporated into this project.

 

Awesome! Thank you! So these are rated for higher speeds then... cool! I love tall-skinnys!

 

Golden Submarine. Interesting to see this brake setup on this car. Looking at the way the disc(disk) is fitted to the rim does this mean the caliper bolts inside the rotor,that would be a different setup.I've noticed that Buell uses this type of brake on some of their models. It would of been even cooler to see an Offenhauser motor in the chassis,at least that's as close to a Miller as you would get these days.Anyway great to see a rodders perspective of a classic 'teens racecar.Keep on roddin'

 

I am digging the entire car. Amazing workmanship!! Keep the pics coming.

Can someone tell me about the rearend & brake setup? I understand the underlying brake setup, its the hub and mounting that is puzzling. It appears to be running a full floating hub setup, but I don't see a caliper mount on the hub nor a connection to the housing. I would very intersted in a schematic.

Thanks

 

That chassis just blew me away,I hope it will be in Omaha this week.It would be like seeing a Michelangelo.Guess I'm stuck here staring at this for who knows how long.If not heard from,I'll be ok,it's just like,well, the most beautiful woman I ever saw.Did I mention that it was cool.Hey, where is my drool cup.I've got to go and stare some more.........

 

The Chassis was beautiful, I can't wait to see the whole deal!!

The drama I can live with out....

 

All the superlatives have been thrown out, and I agree, wow, never have I seen such beautiful engineering. I've gone back and stared at that fab. thing several times. Thanx for sharing, the additional info posted was really cool. God I love this information hi-way, we are so lucky to have this available.-Livin Large via the H.A.M.B.-Sololobo

 

When I saw this car this past weekend me and my dad stared at it for a while, commenting on the intricate design. Suprisingly most other people I noticed just gave it a glance over. I didnt know all the history behind it, but appreciate it even more not afer reading a few of these posted links! Very cool car.

 

the calipers are being machined as we speak.. thats why they are missing in action...

 

To ME - that's what Hot Rodding is all about -

One of a kind.

Race Car inspiered.

CRAFTSMANSHIP & DETAIL.

No ( covers ) & bs

Mechanical art.

I would call this ( UN FOOSE )

KICK BUTT DAN...!

 

I have a completed Thom Taylor rendering of the finished car. For some reason I cannot post it on here. I've posted many pics in the past,but cannot load this one. You can e-mail me if you'd like and I'll send it to you..........Mike hemifarris@aol.com

 

That is an amazing chassis!! I am truly inspired by this. I wish I could have seen it in person.

Oh you have no idea Jimmy...it makes me want to start on a new chassis for something right away. I spent an hour looking at it, and know I missed stuff.

 

I concur

 

Mike

I'd like one, thanks!

dmckee@look.ca

 

ditto... kustombuilder@yahoo.com

 

great metal work, amazing crafman shift, im digging the orange rims

 

beautiful.

 

that thing was just cool. i couldnt fit in it but i liked it alot! thanks for bringing it to the show.

 

A few more....CC

 

ProEnfo -- thanks for posting the additional chassis shots!

Ashley -- Please keep us updated on the project through the "bare metal" stages if you would/could. (I fully realize it needs to be hidden until the painted/finished debut at SEMA) Is there any plans for a rollcage within the bodywork structure itself? I like the tie-in ala the grille / stance and other items per your own project -- was this intentional via Dan / Thom?

note: I've seen the recreation of the Miller Golden Sub many years ago when it debuted at the Monterey Historics and Pebble Beach. I've also seen it go down the road and around the dirt track also since. Hopefully this iteration of the Golden Sub will be the same -- I think it would be awesome to see it on the asphalt and also flat tracking on a dirt track all crossed up before powering down the straight away! (The skinny narrow tires would make this easy to do)

 

Adjusted the Thom Taylor photo for HemiFarris. Here it is.

 

I love that you are recreateing the Golden Sub, that is one of my favorite Miller cars of all time. There is another out there in the world somewhere, cause they had one at a Miller reunion a few years back. Haven't seen it though. Good Luck!

 

interstedd in the steering box?? sprint car maybe?? any info would be gerat
