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.

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.
