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.

it rusted away from sitting outside. my dad had a nice one ,and this was his parts car. i wish it was restorable,but its not, so i will use its parts to build a hot rod.

buildind a car takes time!!!!!

i allways thought i could put a car tougher from parts in a 100 hrs. rat style, safe and driving. hah hah , i daydrem longer than 100 hrs, before i even put it on the table!!!!!

First of all, where's your tent??!! You are really going to have a one of a kind hot rod. Very few people can achieve that. Sure looks like a winner to me.

 

[rileyratrod]

t is to tall to fit under tent.

had to move the tent to put the body on ,then i took off the wheels, and put just rims on it to lower it on the table. just finished putting tent back,before the rain. i have a real shop to work in but its full. as soon as i get some room this car will be moved inside to finish.

had to work on paying cars!!

i had to get off the riley rat rod for the last 40 or so days. got the body mounts mocked up last week, and will be posting some new picks soon. hope to put 20 or 30 hrs on in this weekend.
