'63 Riviera radical custom

[bobss396]

I have one of those kits I picked up last year. I did build the annual one as a kid. You did a lot of great work, wow.

This is one kit that deserves 100% new tooling, like the AMT '66 Riviera. I would imagine that a lot of those parts would work on this kit.

It looks great. I think it looks good with shaved door handles, now you just need a solenoid system for the doors.

It looks great as it is Dennis.??

I've got the solenoid system!  (in my imagination, that is) LOL

Looking very nice, Dennis! I would say no door handles, for what it's worth... ?

Very clean build as always from you Dennis.

Where is the intake with Webers from? I love nailheads

 

[dino246gt]

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)

Incredible workmanship on this awesome build...

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!
