speedy5963 Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 I just finished this 65 Rivi the other night. The emblems have been removed, the interior is cream with black flocking for carpet. The color is HOK True Blue Pearl. The wire wheels are from the kit with white walls from the Monogram's 59 Impala.
Danno Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 Beautiful. One of my all-time favorite cars, the early Riv.
Matt T. Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 Kool kruiser! Hard to beat a shaved and lowered '65 Rivi on wires. Nice build.
carrucha Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 Cool custom Rivi. Good job on the paint. Nice wheel/tire combo.
speedy5963 Posted March 2, 2011 Author Posted March 2, 2011 Thank you for all the comments, these are fun kits too build and each time I get some different ideas, I think the next one I'll remove the mold line from the bumpers, fit everything really well and have it re-chromed.

mr moto Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 Wow! That's the way that car is supposed to look! Great job.
Nitro Neil Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 Love the paint, always liked early Rivieras ever since my dad bought a 64. It was a lemon, but it looked cool.
parki Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 Wow!! very very nice Love the colour really suits it.
Blake Rogers Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 wow amazing work man everything is just right man great work!!!!!
W-409 Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 Very nice Riviera, one of the best ones, I've seen. Paintjob looks very good to me, shiny and no orange peel at all. Nice job with the wheels are just perfect, so real looking. And that grille is great too. I like this one very much, but maybe foiling door handles would be a good idea?

Mooneyzs Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 Pauly... She's Looking great. Love the color. its making me want to get some other builds done man!
seeker589 Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 (edited) NOTHING looks better than a sleek Riviera mild custom. To me it was the high water mark of GM styling. Almost every thing else is not as pretty. Come to think of it - almost every year Riviera is beautiful - even the 80s models. Very nice build! The color is a knock-out!
