Project Rat Royce - '34 Rolls Royce

[dineno]

So I joined the RROC (Roll's Royce Owners Club) and dug through the old "Flying Lady" archives (their private magazine/journal) and found the last known owners of the car. It appears that the coachwork is of a Landaulette, which is a limousine that has a convertible top for the rear section where even the sides come down. Mine appears to extend all the way to the front though, but while leaving the the outer frame of the roof still in place with the top down. I can't find a single other picture though of one with this style of coachwork.

Yea after going through the discussion threads in their forum and reading the board meeting minutes, I figured there's no way I could ever post in there. Very valuable resources there, just have to hide what I'm doing considering their mission statement is something along the lines of "the preservation of Rolls Royce motorcars".

fucktard purists

[Dr.AK]

When the car is built just post up the whole build thread there.

It will go down in history as the day when cigars crumbled, monocles dropped into tea cups and almost all Rolls Royce owners died of a heart attack.

You are smart to not post anything there yet. I would wait til completion as to not burn any bridges should you need parts/resources.

My thoughts exactly. The resources in there are incredible for parts, diagrams, advice, etc.. It's a whole community in hiding that mostly exchange things amongst themselves.

Ok I'll be old guy saying this, but don't butcher it too much, in a few years you might be able to trade that for 10 1932 fords or 70 supras :P

I'm always dreaming of a build like this. Please put a huge fire spitting engine in it can't wait to see some updates.

[GTShunter]

Fuck it. Throw in a Euro v8 or v12 engine in there.

[Chasen88]

[Yezzz]
