Hi Riley RR,
Good to see another Riley Rodder on the forum, I'm I right in thinking it's RM running gear you have got there what happened to its pretty body.
Mine is a bit smaller it's a Elf (60's Mini) check it out on the forum here Biggles Ride
Hey Tripper, Not heard of Rileys...here was me thinking you were a man with a british bent
I will watch your build with interest RileyRR (as I do with many of the guys on here) if there in anything a guy on the right side of the pond can do just give me a shout.

Still crazy after all these years!
That Riley radiator shell is great! Use it if you can. The car has very interesting front suspension.

it takes time
takes a lot of time to set up a frame, cut,weld,grind,grind weld ,grind grind weld weld weld... well 2 rolls of wire later, my frame is now done !!!!! lots of set up and figuring,it took us allmost allday. im lucky to have a friend whos a millright [welder fab guy],i traded him some parts for his time. i can and do weld but he welds every day so he is very good.
