1966 Riviera / 1957 Chevy

[John Teresi]

Hello......this is something I built a few years back......some folk`s hated it and some liked it......I kinda liked it?...... I grafted a 1957 Chevy top on a 1966 Riviera body......wired and plumbed......foil....flocking.....H.O.K. pink kandy....Slixx mini flake top with .......temporary 50 cent tattoos with clear coat.....thank`s for looking.

A little odd, but well executed!

[parki]

That is what i call different.

That is pretty wild. Never thought about that roofline on that body. Good work!

[Danno]

I always thought this one was just goofy enough looking to be cool, or cool enough looking to not be goofy or oddly not too odd. Ya know?

It shouldn't ... but somehow it works.

Great craftsmanship and color/finish as always, John!

[Foxer]

I love the audacity of doing this!

[TheCat]

A unique build. I like it!!!

You know that is very unique, actually I do like the combination. Not too mention what an Excellent job you have done with the Interior. Great Job! .

John, normally, I love everything you do....your workmanship and attention to even the smallest detail astound me. This one, I am afraid, is not up to your usual standards. I mean the paint is perfect and the colors are cool, but the roof, short and tall and the body long and low, kind of collide making me shake my head. But hey, I think it was a car that had to be built......if you didn't want to finish it, you could have stopped and boxed it up any time. I guess it's like they say, a mother loves all of her kids the same, regardless of how they turned out.

One question though, is it me or the pictures....I see the line separating the door and fender on the rear of the door, but not on the front...did I just miss it? But then again....what do I know?

[John Teresi]

Peter.......thank you so much for your honesty......I built this a few years back when I first started out with the hobby......a heard about Kit Bashing and tried my hand at it......I posted this on purpose to get some reaction.......I know that this build has got to be the funniest looking thing.....but,I think that I have improved with my skills.......I have a long way to go but.......I just like to post this old stuff to show how I have improved .......I just finished something today that I will post next week in this section........ and it might show my improvement........thank`s again for your honesty.

You know what, John, I just knew you would understand where I was coming from. Thanks, I feel a whole lot better now.

It's a little bizarre. But, the more I look at it, the more I like. The paint is amazing. Who know candy pink could be so cool. Also, I appreciate your ability to take Peter's comments in stride. Trust me, no one questions the skills you've displayed on the in progress builds you've posted here. You are an incredibly talented builder. It's inspiring to us mere mortals to see that a guy as talented as you goofs up occasionally (door line) B) Thanks for sharing your stuff.
