Hi,
My name is John, located in central Indiana. Retired residential contractor and lifelong car lover.
I’ve always been fascinated and intrigued by metal shaping, and even though getting old, I want to learn.
My current project is a 1935 Riley Continental, no body, so Building a special.

Default Riley

Clifford,
The Riley will be offset two seater, at least that’s the current plan.
Engine will be late 40’s Riley RM 2.5.
I live about thirty minutes from Indianapolis Motor Speedway, so go over for inspiration.
I keep staring over as I learn a little bit each time and realize I can to better.
