Platerpants Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DumpyDan Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Looking good, so what did you do with the wire wheels in the kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platerpants Posted March 5, 2016 Author Share Posted March 5, 2016 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxer Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 It looks real good. Builds of something you've known are the most fun! I am still working on all I've had ,,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBuick Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Nice build, personally I think '65 is the best year for the Riviera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
