I've been fascinated by Tommy Milton of late and after picking up a couple Aurora Frontenac kits one for the 1920 winner and one for Milton's 1921 winner I figured why not try to do the Miller 122 as well I remember Front Motor did a kit of this car but with it being long out of production that's not an option and converting a ARM/Etzel Miller 91 isn't a realistic option either because of the price so what to do well it's time to break out Fusion 360 and get to work designing one in 3D it's a good start lots of work on the cockpit area to go but the basic shape is there   I'm pretty much working blind on this one because I don't have a drawing or measurements so that's the fun part lol |

As you know Mike, front engine is not my "cup of tea". However, it is fascinating to see craftsmanship in printing up a car and then seeing it printed out! Can't wait to see it printed! The video was very nice too!
