    Over the last winter ,I made a water heated manifold for my uncles 32 Riley Banger. Had the craping 97s on it before. So I made the manifold had TNT powder coating in Shingle Springs ca. do the coating. Got 2 carter/ webers from Langdon's. Man ,did those woke up that engine. It runs so good now.
    And the best part is , my aunt and uncle are taking to their 60th High School Reunion. He got the car in 1955. He and a friend are driving over together . He still has a 34 from back then.

    First I ever heard of this 34. And he said the guy lives 2 blocks away. Next time I visit I'll take a look.

    It's not black. It's maroon with black fenders. I rebuilt the it in 1980 for him. It was drag raced in to the 60s then put away.
