What's up fellow modelers! Here are some pics of another 65' Rivi kit I built, really love the way this one came out! Really a box stock type build other than the tires. Cleaned up the body, removed the emblems, shot it in HOK Tru Blue Pearl and Sikkens Clear. The model was built as a curbside so not much engine or chassis detail. The interior is painted with Krylon paints, used the custom dash in this one to see how it would come out, overall I think I like the stock dashboard but this did come out nice, has black flocking on the floor for carpet.

Thank you, I really like these kits, for a while I was finding them on eBay shipped for like 9-12 dollars and stocked up on them. Partially to build a few of these before tapping into some of my old 63 and 64's. I was looking for some old projects the other day and found another 65 I started some time back that is already all cleaned up and sitting in primer so I'll be getting on that one soon!

Very sharp indeed! We've seen several nice builds of this kit lately for some reason. Is Riv Fever sweeping the land?

That is really nice!

I think it may be because it is one of the most beautiful body styles to ever come from GM. Love the 66's too.

Given the engine detail especially, building this one curbside isn't that big a loss. Chassis cleans up nicely with a little detail painting.

Nice color/wheels/lowering.
