I made a new graffiti friend. Turns out Joe the gentleman I bough my chassis from is also an American Graffiti fan and has always liked the Milner Coupe. Joe was happy to hear his old frame was destined to become a "super fine machine" Joe told me it ran and drove when I picked it up. I bought it in the middle of winter. When I got it home the temperature was in the low 50's so I didn't drive it around but It was warm enough I did go borrow a six volt battery ,hook up a small gas tank and listen to it run before I sold the motor.
Keep you eyes peeled. I sold the motor to a guy in southern California. It's new home is a red and white 1931 Ford.
