Can-Con Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 The blown Volare is almost done so I started to restore this '67 Riviera annual while waiting for paint and glue to dry. I'm going to keep it stock, after all, you don't come across a '67 annual everyday. This particular kit seems to be kinda hard to find so,, Plans are for dark teal blue paint and a set of re-chromes Buick rally wheels on thin whitewalls. I will use some MCG photoetch scripts on the fenders though. There was a bit of damage to repair where the custom "vinyl 1/2 top" was attached but other then that it seems pretty good. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can-Con Posted October 8, 2023 Author Share Posted October 8, 2023 A couple pics with the paint polished out and mocked up with wheels and tires. The Buick wheels are from a '68 Riviera kit. They're some of the most accurate representations of this wheel. The red lines were just to see how they'd look with the color. I only have the two right now but I think I have a few more. Just a matter of finding them. LOL The interior parts were sprayed black when I got the car but doubt they'll stay black. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

customline Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 Great job resurrecting this old annual, Steve. I wonder if AMT did an annual of the '70. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, they stopped at '69. A '70 kit would need a whole new body as the sheetmetal is completely different from the doors back from a '66-'69 as well as the back window.

Thanks, Steve. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
