Thread: Finished my 28 Model A

Tweet

Hey, it looks great! I sort of remember when you first showed it with the unusual top. I know what you mean about getting in/out of the '28 in my '29 but you have a great interior and the seat is low enough to go with the chop. Hey, Ford-in-a-Ford is good too!

Ryan,

Many thanks for all the info on your Cummins Corvette. I spent several hours going through your pics and videos. All my life I've always had to have something different and this is right up my alley. So much thought and work went into this project, it's beautiful and so unique. I'm glad we don't live in the same part of the country, I can just imagine the following conversation....

Joe: Hey Milner, I heard you ran your badass Model A at the drags. How did you do?

Milner: I got beat by a diesel.

Joe: Ha Ha, nice joke. Now tell me how you really did.

Milner: I got beat by a diesel.

Joe: Oh well, your car looks fast anyway.

Take Care,
Milner

Milner, you are definitely the real deal and to answer your question - - - - YES, you got'er done - - - IT'S baddazz for sure.

Kinda sad tho for a "builder" like yourself to have finished your Ride - - - so whatcha got up your sleeve for the future?

Hey MelloYello, thanks for the reply. Don't have anything on the drawing board right now, I'm trying to learn photography so I can take better pictures of the cars. I don't know if I should post this but what the heck. My best friend who is a sculptor in California has a company that makes full size silicone fantasy dolls so he sent me a couple of his creations to use as pin-up models. Like my taste in cars, I dare to be different. Hope I don't offend any one but here's a few pictures.

GULP - - - a definite "Must have in the Man Cave" but that would mean changing locks and probably a divorce later. Those dolls you friend is creating are ??????? well they just ARE !

Thanks Milner, a lot of thought definitely went into it. It's still not as fast as I'd like it to be. I guess that is always the case.

Those dolls are pretty life like. LOL

Compared to what you usually see at shows leaning over or under cars, these look more life like.
