He decided to have us build the whole chassis. Gonna be 8BA flathead powered
T-5 overdrive trans..sweet. Got the frame home last week.Alabama is going to have a nice hot rod.
Watch as we post up pictures as it gets finished up.

complete chassis from Riley Automotive world headquarters

start with something nice
I can't argue with that.

Rod and Custom

Rod and Custom did a nice article this month on the sub rail kits we sell.
Been keeping my friend Henry (Steadfast owner) busy cranking them out.
Made to put a 1932 frame under a Model A body.
Cool deal to get a mention. And Mark Schneider the owner of the coupe under the knive
was just by here visiting...

Matt got his car back

Since his move up to MI from Texas he's been missing his hot rod.
My old friend (?) Marcie hand delivered it to him.
Just in time to store it away for winter.Glad the trip and delivery went so smooth.


getting loaded



ahh picture problems..

zzappp magically appears in Mich.

I like this picture

283 for me

I like early small block Chevy's.They make great hot rod motors.My 1961 283
Nothing to radical, Early Edelbrock intake,Mallory dual point,"camel hump" heads.
Little cam,stock rockers,early Cal Custom valve covers.New 2.5" rams horns.
Going with a T5 5speed.Should push the 32/34 pick up around just fine.
My pal Bruce at Hillsboro race engines built this one for me.

I like all the little stock pieces

valve covers still need one more cleaning and then detail

splash of chrome,
notice the 'vette oil fill with PCV ?

2.5" Corvette outlet ram's horns..yummy

been waiting years to use that Moon gauge

Love the old Mallory 3 piece caps and big condensor

infamous cample humps

Rat rod sedan up in Minnesota gettin' closer

Matt up there in Duluth has been working on his Tudor for awhile now.
Big 440 Mopar will thunder !
Sneak peek..

I'm guessing the term Rat Rod wouldn't bother my buddy Matt.

He brought this one back from the edge for sure.

(I'll let you know how the floor kit is coming along)
