'da Hui Presents... Graffiti Coupe For Dummies. Created for dummies by dummies so that all you Milner Coupe builders can benefit from our back breaking labor and get an eyeful of what the real American Graffiti Coupe looks like before you spend the green on parts and labor. These pictures and parts determinations were gathered by 'da Hui and the folks back east at Project THX138. Since very few measurements have been personally verified (the chopped door window opening), we don't list too many. This manual is a work in progress, so if you don't find what you need...find it yourself! We all have full time jobs and none of you bastards pay us anything.

Greetings Students!


So you want to build your own Milner Coupe, huh.? Ya wanna hunch over the wheel and peer up through that little windshield, palm that miniature piston in your right hand, tell that girl next to you to grab on to something... and then proceed to blow that Chevy's ass clean off the road? Is that what you want? Us too.

This blog-a-book was developed by former poor souls like yourself who have fought, wrestled, and scraped their way into just enough knowledge to put together a reasonable facsimile of that most beloved of all hot rods...The American Graffiti Coupe. Now pay attention. Your homework's on the board.

The Body

  • 1932 Ford 5 Window Coupe
The American Graffiti Coupe was created from an original Henry Ford steel bodied deuce. The roof has been chopped 3". It retains the stock drip rails. The insert is stock, but the size of the opening has been modified slightly to accommodate the chop.

The windows and doors have been cut accordingly leaving the door window openings at exactly 10". The windshield still functions properly although the Coupe's windshield adjustment bracketry is missing.

The hood has been removed and the stock grill shell has been shortened 4".
