Glad it's coming to the end.Bet U can't wait for the first drive. My wife and I each have a 32, hers will get paint soon. Been doing the "shakedown thing" for about 130 milesso I guess it's OK. Good Luck

Hey Brother, I have a whole website dedicated to this car that has EVERYTHING you would need to know to build this coupe the correct way. I don't like talking about my website as I don't want to come off as a salesman. The name of the website is Project THX 138 (Untitled 1) and it was started back in 2003 and a car club has spawn from it (Milner's Mafia). Because of all the ORIGIANL members wanted to keep everything on the down low I set it up as you have to be a member to see all the good info. Membership is $75 for a lifetime membership (which goes to help keep the website up and running). Not one person has ever told me that it was a ripoff but EVERYONE has told me they would have been totally lost without the site. Just so you know, we have over 400 member in our little Graffiti Coupe Club!

I'm sure you have seen this video of Falfa's 55. Nice to see it is still around too.

Hey Guys,

Sorry for not posting in awhile but I figured I better let you all know that the Graffiti Coupe's Headers are now being built! Here are the first photos of them as they are being built.


























These headers are being built by New Age Motorsports (203-268-1999).

Hi Rick, I was up at Ed's shop with my father and brother a month ago, and when I first found this site and read your thread, I was saying to myself, "so this is the guy Ed was talking about". I think it's great that you took the time to document everything you have done, as it's very time consuming in itself. My Dad and I sold all of our stuff (63 Falcon, 66 Fairlane, 97 F250) to buy a New Age 5/W Hiboy/Chassis. We are going to put the 521/C6 from my Fairlane in it, and I'm sure glad we found Ed. I won't take up your thread, but it was nice to see more pictures of Ed and Chris' handwork. They are too great guys, and I can tell they take a lot of pride in talking about your project. We were there over 3 hours to put our deposit down to get the name on his board. Our car will start in January. If you see "Pat" on his board; that's us. Thanks again for posting so much information!

Hey Pat,

Yip, it's me (LOL). Glad to see you are investing your money in a GREAT PROJECT! Ed & Chris make the BEST 32 bodies out there (and their chassises are top of the line as well) and I just know you are going to love EVERYTHING you get from them. GREAT PEOPLE who do FANTASTIC WORK!

I'm glad to hear you like following this thread! Here pretty soon you are going to see everything come together (Finally). It takes a lot of work to build this car just like old John's but I just know it's going to be worth thte wait!

Can't wait to see your project!
Rick

Yes Rick, we are all waiting patiently for the next update on the Project THX138 thanks.

Have you sold the other clones you have built? Do you know if anyone has one for sale?
I would be interested.

Thanks,
Bill

Thanks Whiplash23T, It shouldn't be to long now before you guys start seeing the coupe come together.

Hey Bill,

I don't sell any of the cars but I do build them for people from time to time. What type of Graffiti Coupe are you looking for? Are you wanting a BALLS ON REPLICA or a TRIBUTE CAR???? These cars are pretty hard to come by as all the guys that have them love them to death. Really, who doesn't want to be John Milner??????

Hey Guys,

Just thought I would post this Picture of one very cool looking 32 Ford that just made it into the newest Street Rodder Magazine. The car is owned by Ron Wolcott and the Body was made by New Age Motorsports. I'm telling you guys, NO ONE builds a better body than Ed and Chris over there at New Age Motorsports!!!



Talk to you all soon!
Rick

Either spot on or tribute car would be fine, I have searched all over the internet and not found much. At this point i am probably looking to build my own. Thanks for the response and if you hear of anyone wanting to part with one of these, I would appreciate a heads up. wberr73149@aol.com.

Thanks Again,
Bill

Ed at New Age can build you a turn key car.

Thanks Weasel, I have spoken to Ed and unfortunately, my budget is a bit less than that. I have decided to order a chassis and body from timeless rods out of Lula Georgia. They use some of Ed's parts such as fenders, rear bumper and radiator shell for their version of the Graffiti tribute. The body is by Downs. Not as nice as Ed's but within my budget. I'm looking forward to starting my build and will utilize this forum for any questions I may have.

Thanks again, Bill
