The only items that are new there are the shoes, and some of the springs. Every other part was cleaned and or, rebuilt by me.

Great work Rob! Seems a shame to cover it up with a drum. BTW, does your Riv have those big honking finned aluminum drums?

Yes Jeff, it does. I'll post some pics of them when I install them later.

Paul, yes, everything has been cleaned up. Have you seen my build thread of the Rivy? I have some photo's of the frame there.

Here's some newer pic's of the frame.

Looks great. And s much nicer to work on once it gets to a cleaner than new state as well. So what museum is it going to?

WOW!!! I agree, it must be tough to cover up that work of art. At least you have pix to prove it. Keep the pictures coming.
