Do you mind if I "save" the pictures?

 

Damn that must of been fun to work on it.

Haha yeah plenty of Riff Raff at the show

This car was the most well constructed vehicle of its time rivaling/surpassing the Indy roadsters, It took 3 years to build. Notice there are a lot of aircraft surplus parts including the hoses and fittings? The Miller Lakester was even trailered to Detroit and is said to be the inspiration for the Pontiac Bonneville.

I have heard a blown ARDUN on the dyno and man what a sound, if I had the $$ I would buy one without doubt.

No Worries!!!

Yes, 1 down 8 to go!

 

What a great post one of my all time favorite race cars of all time. Got too see it at Grand National roadster show last year before it was done. Car is so mean looking in person. Thanks for the photos.

 

By all means, I just don't want them see/used commercially.

 

"M is for Miller? I belive it has a pontiac motor...I saw this in a old Hop Up and at the LA roadster show in January this year and it was bare metal...beautiful work"

The first picture shows the specs for the car - Pontiac engine with a Miller head.

I tend to agree, look how all the slots on the screws in the interior line up. A little over done. I think some things should be left as found, that way it is there in the raw to show the craftsmanship and techniques of yesterday. These guys built these cars with gas welders and hack saws for the most part.

 

Great car, great restoration, great pictures. Thanks

 

May I ask what color that is???????????

 

You saw the teflon tape on the fuel shutoff, too?

And the hard lines near the dash are modern fittings, not WW2 surplus. The rubber lines might have been reusable ends when new rather than crimp-ons. but that's all I'm seeing.

I am not a big fan of over-restored race cars, but this is spectacular.

I do think the 2 distributors firing 3 cyls each is a neat touch.

 

So, we are all justifiably raving about how good the new issue of HR is, and this doofus is seeing this unbelievably cool machine for the first time. You know what I mean, I have laid eyes on it before, but did not SEE.

So cool . . .
