Projects Milners coupe gets a facelift

After building my tribute coupe more than 20 years ago,enjoying it displaying it with Paul LeMat,Cindy Williams,Candy Clark,Bo Hopkins,Brian Setzer,and Faith Grainger,ALL of whom signed my dash,it was time for a change.I built this car when I was 24 from a pic on my wall and freeze framing the vhs movie. Now there are so many closer and almost exact clones out there I figured I could change it a bit .All the changes I made were bolt on/off so I could put it back if I choose.However after I got it done I love it now as much as before .People cant believe its the same car it still has the 20+ year old paint just the hood grill shell and rear roll pan are fresh paint . I hope you all like the changes as much as I do .I also have a MAN A FRE for sale ,and I may sell the COVICO wheel,rear fenders,and rear bumper if any one is interested.The 1st pic is the day I pulled it from the barn where it sat since 1954 then the milner coupe then now. So now Ill finish my chopped 50,then the 34 5 window ,and fianally bring the 55 back out to the track .Maybe not in that order HA HA HA HA .

 

Ok the pics didnt load Ill try again HAHAHAHA

 

I like the new look



.

 

Never was much for "Clones". I must say I like the new version.

 

looks good ether way
I would keep the fenders and stuff just because its cool that you can switch looks

 

Looks great! She's got a nice profile. That rear wheel well would look good yellow too. That black area makes the tire look huge.

 

Nice change

 

Hi,
nice piece you got!

My friend is building a milner clone and looking for the man-a-fre intake, and covico steering, if its left ofcourse

cheers

 

I really dig the new look. Much better in my opinion!

 

None of us are 24 anymore.......................good job.

 

I like the new look, and like stated, yellow wheel wells would set it off

 

On Milners I never liked the cut down radiator and grille shell.........but that's just me.

 

Good work looks much better.

 

Well you can't stay seventeen forever. Looks good

Wow! The new look is Awesome!!!!

 

Much, much better..Other than Milner's car being a deuce coupe and a feature car in a movie I thought it was dorky.. Your remake is a great improvement, IMO....

 

OMG, say it isn't so?!!! I loved your car. But I do understand, I just sold my Kookie Kar too. Life goes on .Good luck with the new look

 

Change is good

 

Looks great bro, its your hot rod now!! Rock on! ~sololobo~

 

It looks great !

 

Very nice. No regrets, Hotrods are evolutionary and there is nothing wrong with a heartfelt honest tribute.

 

Hey thanks for all the great reviews .Im really diggin the look. Im getting a lot of action on the parts id be interested in selling so if your thinking about any of them let me know. Thanks Darryl[The Big Stahu] Lost Kustoms cc

 

If you need another change, throw the WWW's on the chromies, that would look good too.

 

Looks much better.

 

If anyone is interested to see how my coupe with the little small block runs I just found it on Youtube. Search The Hardcore Happening 2013 then look for video #9 and all the older milners coupe shots were it in previous years . And by the way it still has the 4 dueces on it

 

It does look much better now, great job !

as long as you are happy with your changes - that's great , but its still a piss yellow coupe ha ha ha - jaxx

 

Thanks Jaxx, Im not sure if its piss yellow or puke green Ha Ha Ha !!!!

 

No, that's not just you...lot's of us don't like it.

 

Well said!

I'm a Hotrod lover but I liked the 55's look better than the Deuce in that film.

Looks like you have a traction issue!!! Hahaha!
