I found the CruisinUSA Riviera on ebay but, it is missing some parts because it's a bagged up kit. I don't care about the Barris particulars but, can someone familiar with the kit, in general tell me what's missing aside from the wheels and tires? I think it may be missing bumpers and some other body chrome as well. I thought about buying it to make a lowrider but, I ain't buyin' if there are critical parts I can't just grab out of the parts box.

The Crusin USA version did not have any stock parts, mainly a custom option. For sure, the wire wheels are missing in your photo. I have the kit downstairs and checked. Here are instruction pages from Drastic Plastic for you to compare.

Unfortunately, the Cruisin' USA kit did not have a lot of the stuff that came in the other Riviera kits. So, if you were looking to build a stock Riviera, the Cruisin' USA version IS NOT the one to go for. I have 3 Riviera kits in the basement, one the Cruisn' USA, which is by far the least content.

My instruction sheet shows the parts trees. If scanning that would help assess better whats missing, I can scan it.
