'65 Riviera mild custom


Can-Con

Recommended Posts

Actually built this several years ago. Thought I'd repost it for those who haven't seen it.

AMT kit, of corse,  Mostly from the box but with trim shaved and a scratch made custom grille. I also cut the headlight grilles away from the front bumper and used a set of the custom ones included in the kit for more realisn.

 Paint is HOC candy pagen gold.

Sweet!

I've always thought that those wires with the spinners were some of the nicest wires ever produced in 1/25th scale.

Refresh my memory as I haven't seen any in a few years.

Were they from this kit?

Yes, they are. 

There's another set in the Cushenberry Silhouette custom kit. Those have a narrower front half but look exactly the same if you sand down the back of the fronts like I did.  In fact, that kit also has a set of Astro Custom slotted mags same as the Riv kit. 

I've always wondered how both kits, so different, ended up with almost exactly the same wheels :huh:
