Ak Miller´s Roadster

Ak Miller a hotrodder born in Denmark 1920 and his family immigrated to usa soon after.

This is a short story how it all begun for AK.

He was 14 years old in 1934:
"We were headed out to Muroc Dry Lake," Ak said. "We were going out there with no trailer, no nothing. Just a chain. You know who was going to drive it? Me. I just sat back there. They just told me to watch the brake because there was no such thing as a tow bar. I had to use the brakes to stop from hitting them. But they didn't drive too fast. And I remember 100-and-some miles in a frozen desert. It was colder than hell."

That wasn't the only seat time 14-year-old Ak got at that meet. Zeke was supposed to drive the roadster but got cold feet at the starting line and asked Ak if he wanted to drive. Ak eagerly lined up with the field, took off, and got the car up to 94 mph."I had really wanted to go 100, but I'm not too sure it would,"

Ak learned speed tricks quickly after that run in 1934. By 1937, he and his friend Wally Parks were founding members of the Road Runners car club (whose ranks would also include Vic Edelbrock Sr. and Jr., Fred Carrillo, Art Chrisman, and Bob and Dick Pierson, to name just a few). Later that year, the Road Runners were among seven clubs that formed the Southern California Timing Association.

Flatheads were the most popular engines among rodders in the pre- and postwar era, but Ak delighted in making speed using just about anything else. He built a number of hot rods in those days using Chevy, Buick, Olds, and Caddy mills.


Check out the front end on his roadster. Picture taken in 1947 and it does NOT have a traditional Ibeam axle. This must have been hightech to drive this one in the 40´s.

Here is a really nice swedish built pan chopper from back in the days.

Early Flathead V8 hop up

just an Hour ago I fired up my engine for my 1929 pheaton on 1932 frame.
I have been working on this for a while and it feels great to hear it run!And it runs very good.
This is a dresser with very early parts.
I have a set of polished 1933 Ford original aluminum heads and a original and polished 1932 aluminum oil pan.
On top I has a original Edelbrock slingshot intake crowned with a pair of NOS Stromberg 97.
The headers is homemade by me.
To morrow it needs some carb adjustments before it will be perfect. I hate the moment just before you fire up something new. but now I am very satisfied!

How to..

..get cops interested in hotrods without give you a ticket.

Living Your Life

This old picture has haunted me for a while.
I really envy that guy how had that overhead conversion 4 banger.
And the coolest distributor ever on a flathead four.. Not a scintilla magneto, not a mallory dual point. its a flathead v8 distributor converted for a 4 banger. Maybe has a dual plug head? I dont know, and never will. That question will haunt me for ever. But agree its awsome!

Look at the picture, this is exactly what life is made fore, drive around in your hotrod with your best friends a sunny day.

Flathead Super Charger

Here is a very nice 1932 Ford roadster with what looks like a gmc super charger on top of a Cadillac flathead engine. You dont need a hood on your car when you got a engine like this one. I wonder if it still exist...

Im with stupid

My 1929/1932 Pheaton

I took her out of the garage for the first time to see how she looks..

Ill get back to that.
