    Um, my comment was on the magazine, not your car. Dunno what you read into it.... I like the Rivs, yours looks like a nice custom, but I'm interested in hot rods, not customs. That's all.

    You gotta grow some thicker skin, man.

    ^^ That quote was directed at Model T's post about the Barracuda...



    ^^ That was the only part directed to your post, my bad for the confusion.. I just thought it's funny you took the time to read a post about a Riv, and post to everyone in THIS post that you now want to cancel your subscription, when you are interested in hot rods and not customs.. Come on dude you gotta admit that's kinda funny:D... Or at least I thought it was.. No big deal..

    Thanx everyone, it is pretty cool to see your ride on the newsstand...

    Thanx Sinister, yeah there's been a few but actually not too much, most have been pretty cool about their preference.. Definitely got a lot of comps on 'em..

    Thanx Destin, the green in your avatar threw me off.. Where's the gold?..

    Yes he did, and he froze his ass off that day. Friggen cold..
     
  16. congrats, thats a sharp riv... love that white interior..

    Congrats, man! You deserve it! That is such a beautiful Riv! I must have stopped and gawked at it a couple dozen times at Autorama! One of my fave cars in the basemant at Cobo.
     
  19. Got mine today. Bitchen Riv. John is the man.

    I let my R&C subscription lapse, so I picked it up off the newstand.

    Love the '65 GS. Had a shot at one (for a decent price) a few years back and blew it. Oh how I hate regrets...

    Funny, I was just on the porcelain throne looking at that very car! That body has stood the test of time for such beautiful styling. It still looks as fresh and clean today as when it was first penned. You have done the car justice in your build and simply let it speak for itself. Excellent work!

    Thanx everyone, definitely been a fun week..

    Thanx McKee, I missed that..

    Thanx Matt, yeah say hey if you get a chance.. Big fan of those hardtops..:D

    Thanx S&S, I love Bellflowers, but the Riv tapers up and has a short span in the rear, not sure they look as good on these..

    Thanx ToddJ, next time we cross paths, I hope to meet ya .. Always like meeting a fellow masochist, eh artist..:D
