Project Rat Royce - '34 Rolls Royce

[JeremyN]

So... I joined the forum just to see this build play out. What a ridiculously great score. I knew of a guy long ago with a last name that started with "H" in upstate NY with piles of old, rare cars like this in a giant barn. Any chance its the same guy?

If this project ever gets weird and you want to sell it/trade it for something else cool, I could be interested for sure. Until then, I'll be glued to your build! Can we see more of the aluminum body parts?

I think idea is brilliant. I have never meet anyone with the balls to do this.

As far as the engine goes if your not apposed to running diesel I think a a Cummins B6.7 turbo diesel (I6) would do the trick and look absolutely beautiful sitting on the front of that coach. And their is nothing better then dumping coal on anyone looking to challenge your Royce.

It may have come from that guy as it looks like it sat in a barn, but not who I bought it from. I'll definitely grab more pictures of the body panels tomorrow though. I need to start stripping the paint off them and polishing them

I'm definitely not opposed to running diesel, but I'd want to keep the motor from a European manufacturer. There doesn't really seem to be one from across the pond that rings badass like a cummins does though.

OM606 is THE diesel to have. Scandinavians are pro's when it comes to MB diesels.
But I'm still convinced that Jag v12 is best

I've started looking into the Jag v12 more and am dissapointed that it can't be had with a manual transmission. There is a company selling a kit with a t56, but I'd have to think more about that route.

Happy to see you are already making progress, congrats! I can't wait to see it move along.

What if I copper plated the Rolls Royce as well?

[loekaaz]

[loekaaz]

I think you wouldn't have the guts to do it
