I want to add realistic suspension to my AMT 65 Buick Riviera. It has a bad
promo style chassis. Can anyone recommend a kit that has suspension I can use.
Would a revell 65 chevelle work?

Why not get a 1966 or 67 riviera model kit. There are a few including a low-rider with many differant spring combinations.

You could use one of the newer AMT '66 kits. You'd have to shorten it a bit ,, 2 scale inches ,, and change the gas tank area. The stock exhaust system is different also but there's no reason you couldn't use the newer kits pipes and say it had a newer,simpler system installed.
The engine is accurate and correct for a '65 too. Much better detail.

Thanks! I'll take a look at the 66 Rivi kit. I've been wanting to get one of those too.
