Hi Bryan and thanks to all the welcomers- Yes can now see that there are quite afew Brits on this site as well.
Base models for the specials are Riley - fortunate to have found one that had sat in the open in a garden for over 30 years and was in such poor condition that it was totally uneconomic to repair the steel body although the running gear was mostly salvageable. Also found a bare rolling chassis ( no body panels at all) that wasn't rolling! - EVERYTHING had been totally dismantled in the 60's and had never been put back together - the chassis had also been butchered badly and was literally held together with coach bolts and scaffold tube.
All bits coming together now - with panel work to be started yet!!!
Whilst I now have a wheel - air powered planishing hammers seem to take up a lot of discussion on the forum. What do you all think of them vs the wheel is it worth getting one in addition to a wheel?
