John Milner Coupe Cold Start and Warm up! (Clone) Nick's 1932 Ford American Graffiti Hotrod.

Here's a winter cold start up video with a few things that I like to do before and during winter storage. It is a nice warm day here in Arkansas. Time for a little fun! Please keep watching and commenting. Thanks so much. Nick

[@cureforsale]

Thank y'all so much for watching and commenting! I love it. Please ask anything about this car you want. Please don't anyone think that I have this kind of talent. So many people have helped me build this beautiful car. So much credit belongs to the original owner who completed approximately 80% of the car before I purchased her. Thank you! Nick

[@bobbyhall7472]

So did you build it or have it built? Wouldn't it be nice to go back in time with your hot-rod and cruise?! In the 90’s we had a spot called the square but as usual the cops shut it down😂

[@cureforsale]

@@bobbyhall7472 Absolutely! I would always dream about cruising back in time in that car. It was built over several years before I purchased it. I just helped with a few things. Thanks! Nick

Lol 😂

[@danielbohland5271]

Nicely done sorry about your buddy's 🙏

[@larrybaker5316]

WOW, John Milners '32 5 window, that is my DREAM car, I grew up in So Calif, graduated 1967 and American Graffiti was so spot on for that place and time. Thanks for sharing.If you ever need a place to park it I will volunteer my garage! My best friend (passed a few years back) could have been Milners brother, Jim was almost the spitting image of "John" and Jim was a gear head too.

[@dependablepaul]

When I think of a "hot rod" your car is what pops into my mind. Really nice job and the license plate is just the right touch. Saw American Graffiti, the first time, as a 12 year old at the Valley High drive inn in 1973.

[@stevestudley5685]

Beautiful. Thank you.

[@davidgeorge000]

The starting procedure for a B29 super fortress is simpler than this.

[@cureforsale]

I completely agree!

[@carpballet]

90% of this had nothing to do with starting the car. Lol

[@kylefarmer7192]

Jesus yes, just freaking get in and crank until it fires. It’s only been sitting for a month.

[@JW...-oj5iw]

@@cureforsale ... I don't know if you have a separate switched circuit for your fuel pump, but you should be able to cut off the fuel feed before you shut down the engine, allowing it to burn the fuel out of the carbs, rather than the potential of raw fuel draining into the intake side. Something is getting the fuel out of the supply hoses, that's visible.

[@MaxConrad-qo4tu]

That's because each Superfortress had an auxiliary power unit for each engine to oil up and start the engine. Automatic systems are always simpler. Duh.

[@frankvandergoes298]

When you mentioned under the Rochester carburetor service parts sign, all I could see was 2 cartons of beer, which is a very important part of the car scene.😊😊

Excellent maintenance schedule. Back in 73 I had a 69 Roadrunner. And there were still a few hot rod clubs around. Sadly, now there are none that I know of. Sure, sounds healthy when she starts up.

[@larrybaker5316]

I had a '70 roadrunner before going to Nam..it was 1 wicked fast car

[@606garage4]

Absolutely perfect!!!

[@robertdees2150]

I once had to become a mechanic overnight. I had to get a 1928 Ford model A to run by the next day. Fortunately i had someone who was kind enough to help. We were successful.

[@vermontvermont9292]

One day I'll have an old hotrod. I wanted one while I was still young. Now at 41 I'll have to wait even longer it looks like.

[@Australia-ky7kx]

Wow! a beautiful machine the epitome of a hot rod. American Graffiti lives!!

[@taylorchandler7402]

What a fantastic ride 😮

[@Tiffany.1970]

Cool looking milner 32 coupe indeed ❤

[@ccjensen4670]

Great car..one of my faves. Jay signed a 32 for me at the Petaluma show..Candy didn't have a 58 Impala to sign...but I got an invitation to be her escort at the event dinner..I had just met my present wife..thought that nots going to work. That was 25 years ago . We used to cruise 4th street in Santa Rosa back in the sixties. My 56 Chev 150 utility sedan was in Peggy Sue Got Married..filmed in Petaluma and at Santa Rosa High..lots of fond memories. My only car left is the 56...here in Las Vegas. Thanks for showing us your car!

[@mocharger06]

When I was drag racing, there was nothing like that first fire-up. Of course, I was running 2 Holleys, and a much bigger cam, so that idle was like music to the ears.

[@maxwellcrazycat9204]

Guy I used to work with had a 1934 T bucket. 350 Chevy with Ford axle. No radio because he said that the sound of the engine was all of the music that he needed to hear. He is a member of a Hot Rod club called the Good Guys.

[@michaelnaisbitt1590]

Its a beautiful car and its made me very jealous of you the engineering and carb set up are extremly good TAKE CARE OF HER cars of this quality are hard to find

Real nice clone you got there.👍

[@user-ux1eh5gd5x]

Love these videos!. What a fantastic ride .

[@RRL110]

Looks amazing. Always dreamed of having this car. Even in high school 40 some years ago. Best I could do in High School was a 73 mustang convertible. A buddy of mine back then had a old lawn mower so we pulled the piston from it and I made a gear shift knob for the mustang. Closest I came to the real thing. lol

[@ccjensen4670]

Nicely done...my friend from Santa Rosa High School hand built the headers for the 32...many of my automotive friends worked on various cars. My 56 Chevy 150 utility had a small part in "Peggy Sue Got Married" Cruised 4th street in Santa Rosa in 62 in a 59 Ford Galaxie with complete running gear from an R code drag car...pretty much like the film..LOL

So good. Thanks I really needed that today. It's April 2023 and warmer weather's on the way. I love the Milner coupe. May I ask how you built the old girl. A parts list or a kit? I've been thinking of selling my classic British car and getting OR building The Milner coupe. Don't think I'll be fulfilled until I do. Thanks

[@howardkeil1526]

I do the exact thing with my gas except not blended from race gas. It's eliminated 99% of my fuel problems from all my stored engines- cars- lawn equipment-saws-bikes-boat .

If you use ethanol free fuel you don’t need to anything with it, can be stored in a gas can for about a year.

[@cureforsale]

It was made by New Age Motorsports. Ed and Chris are the absolute best in the business.

[@brianandersen643]

Thanks Nick

[@thedolphin5428]

Why on earth don't you spray a little ether into each carbie, or a little squirt of fuel, or just a few fingers over each carbie for a dummy choke to make an instant start? There's no reason a well built and tuned motor can't start after just a few revolutions with a nice rich mixture.

[@cureforsale]

That is an idea. I've thought about keeping a bit of gas in a small squirt bottle to fill the bowls. The video shows the standard way that I was taught to start the car. I usually like to give it a few revolutions without fuel to get the oil pressure up if the car has not been started in a few weeks. I think that was the delay you probably noticed. Thanks for watching and commenting. Nick

[@ckane510]

Always good to build oil pressure first anyway. Ether is really a no no for gas engines. Builds tremendous cylinder pressure. What he is doing for starting is really good practice. Especially on an older engine.

[@cureforsale]

@@ckane510 That's the procedure I have always been taught. Thanks for your input! Nick

[@dash-qe3ul]

Yeah the real one was once offered for sale for 1.500 and no sale it later sold for 1.5 million!

[@howardkeil1526]

water out exhaust is because it's the biggest byproduct of burning fuel (hydrocarbons) and engine and pipes not warm enough yet to stay evaporated.

[@michics100]

WTH are you jabbering about. I've been building hot rods since the mid sixty's and never went through this much crap to start a car. The only thing out of the ordinary are the carbs and running the fuel pump a little more would fill the bowls. Looks like no chokes but your in CA for crying out loud. I've started these things in the cold northern midwest without that much fanfare. Your just jabber to hear yourself.

[@TS-ef2gv]

Yep. I ran an ill tempered, full cam rat motor year round for several years in the Midwest back in the '70s and never did any of this. The most I did for a really cold start (sitting all night in a bitter cold Midwestern mid-winter) was pop the hood and take the air cleaner off the 780 DP so I could watch the carb through the bottom of the windshield while I cranked it. On starts after a good cold soak it tended to be even more evil than normal and would sometimes pop and set the gas in the carb on fire. I needed to see that so I'd know to keep cranking it and suck the fire back into the carb, or if that failed, jump out, put out the flames, get back in and and try it again. After about the second or third fire it would usually start. 😄
