johnworden1 Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Milburn #6 test driven today. All seems fine. Much relief. I'll post interior shots soon. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pughs Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 John, Very Nice! I can't wait to see more photos. How about some photos of the underside? How does it drive? Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnworden1 Posted June 22, 2015 Author Share Posted June 22, 2015 Steve, I want to post photos of the interior because it is beautiful. It was done by a shop in Ames Iowa so I can't take credit. Before the interior shots I will "fit" some rose buds in the vases. The car drives well in first, second and reverse. I haven't got up the nerve to go faster yet. I forgot to look at the volt/amp gauge while underway. Steering is fairly light once underway. Suspension with driver only is stiffer than I thought it would be. Softer would be nice. It is a bit odd sitting back so far in the car. I can see the allure of a light electric for around town use. Four passengers would be a tight fit. The overall feel is that of a powered wagon. The car weights 2700 lbs. with 170 lb. driver. Thanks to you Steve for answering my questions and providing photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnworden1 Posted June 22, 2015 Author Share Posted June 22, 2015 We found the original blue and black under crudely brush applied black paint. The blue is fleet color Rodeway Blue. Thanks for the complement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Restorer32 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Glad we could help. I still have the patterns here should anyone else ever need running boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
