I took the Riviera to NNL North in Minneapolis this weekend. Such a great show as always. I've been going there for years and have made great friends, so it's always a good time! If you live anywhere near, you should go, maybe see you there next year!

Webers are from Norm of Reps and Mins of Maryland, just used a kit manifold modified. Valley cover is actually a custom side piece for a Chevy 6 from a Galaxie Kit. I need to make fuel lines and linkages, add wipers and she's done! Keeping it clean with no door handles or mirrors or antenna or emblems. (easier that way, LOL)
-
I've got the solenoid system! (in my imagination, that is) LOL
-
Looks better in outdoor light. Still need Weber linkage and fuel lines. I'm now thinking no door handles, OPINIONS?
-
The Revell '57 Ford is better for the chassis and parts than the AMT, I believe.

Okay, I see that this will be another super amazing, ultra realistic, unbelievable replica of the fantastic F-40! In fact, it already is! WOW.

I made a pair of sun visors, stole a rear view mirror from a '69 Riviera kit, cut a piece of rear glass and mounted it with no trim, then I glued the upper interior and floor pan on! Tail lights are similar shape to the rear glass and also have no trim. I made front and rear bumpers from the stock ones, sprayed Revell chrome on and mounted them. Here the front and rear styling is seen looking very much like a stock Riv, but nothing like the AMT kit! As they say, "It's starting to look like a car"

Back to this concept car, I made a rear license plate and backup light piece from 6 pieces of .015 X .030 on end, then filed it down and foiled it and filled the lights with canopy cement.

David, thanks to your amazing build, I DID start trying to restore mine! I found a few interesting facts, first I build it in 1977! But, I was a terrible builder back then, LOL. I twisted parts off the trees and didn't sand off the nubs, or mold seams. I used WAY too much tube glue. I painted it with enamels, and extremely poorly. It's not on the top of my "to-do" list but it sure was a blast watching your build and so far, just between 1/24th builds, I'll be playing around and start my own thread. Thank you again for the inspiration! -
WOW! You had me at "I started cutting".........LOL! Looks fantastic already, I know you'll end up with a fabulous model!

Fantastic build! -
Great work so far on this "difficult" kit! I also cut the bottom out but I used the Foose Caddy underneath.

Man your work on this has been inspirational! Makes me want to pull that old built junker I have and re-do it! Isn't THAT what us modelers looking at the internet is all about? Inspiration!! -
As much as I liked the open pore wood I felt that it was just too modern for this build, so I brushed some clear orange over it and now it looks more period correct.
-
Interior looks fabulous! I love the engine colours too.
-
That turned out great! Excellent photos as well!

Okay, I was rushed yesterday posting pictures with flocking dust everywhere, but today, I'm more relaxed. I cut the pedals from the '66 Riv kit because I already stole the engine from it, so pedals no longer required in that one. I printed some Buick logos and just glued one onto the steering wheel and put a small photo etch ring over it and some canopy glue. Outdoor lighting shows the interior better, now it's just glass, headliner, dome lights, sun visors and rear view mirror, THEN I can glue this into the body. I'm sure it'll look good enough once it's inside the hardtop body, that's why I wasn't too concerned about the smallest details. Cheers!
