65 Riviera

[Platerpants]

SUPERCHARGED! Finally back to the forums and the car section, got bored with trucks so when i found this sealed 65 Riviera for $20 on ebay i had to get it. Just a quick 3 day build wish i would have had some bare metal foil instead of silver paint... but my local hobbytown always seems to be out of the stuff. Didnt know what to do for air cleaners so for now itll have those stupid carbs. Also have some pictures of it with my 69.

Thanks For Looking

that's a good color on a Riviera, nice work.

Looking good, so what did you do with the wire wheels in the kit?

[Platerpants]

Thanks guys. The color combo was really brought to life by the two cars I wish I could have saved. The grey one was my grandma's which ended up getting scrapped. The white one was my dad's but essentially my first car. It had red interior like this model and the Grey one was the influence for the body. I found the car fax on the white one after my parents traded it. It got scrapped too... :'(  both were 92s. Bottom picture is one of my senior pictures from 2013

It looks real good. Builds of something you've known are the most fun! I am still working on all I've had ,,,

Nice, tasteful build of a classic kit. Well done and model on!

Nice build, personally I think '65 is the best year for the Riviera.
