IM BACK IN IT!!!! new project

I knew its been along time since I have been here, but I had no idea its been 6 years. WOW, Well I am back now with a new project and I am very excited to be back!
This weekend I picked up a 63 Buick Riviera wildcat 465. It has some issues, but nothing a lil TLC cant fix. I am in dire need of a hood, incase anyone in the central Texas area knows where I can find one.

Here are a few pics.

Under the hood




Finally home and unloaded




Tucked away in her new home



Just getting a lil creative with the camera lol

 

I've been wanting/lusting over those rivs forever. Looks great. Love it

Thanks. I have wanted one for years. I was excited like a high school kid on prom night when I found it.

 

Nice, always have liked the riv's!

 

Thanks. The interior im this thing is cherry. Just needs some cleaning and a new carpet kit and it will be ready to go.

 

Nice riv. I always liked those since I seen road house with Patrick swayze.

 

Congrats!! Looks sweeet!

 

I saw this early Riv at Indy last weekend. Just make your engine look like this and leave your hood off!



Looks like you've got a good solid example to start yuor project with. These are one of those rare cars that never look as old as it actually is!

 

Looks a lot like the one I just bought

 

That's a real beauty.Congratulations & best of luck with it!

 

Awesome! What are the plans?

 

If you go with the Edelbrock's kill the red logo's, it only takes a few seconds each.

 

Very Very nice !!!!!

 

As an ex-Rivi owner, congrats! Is that the one that had been on the SA craigslist for the past few months?

 

that's a nice looking Riv, always liked those too

 

Thanks guys, and yes its the one off San Antonio Craigslist.

As of now, the plan is to clean it up, get it running good, and burn the tires off the sob. But eventually I will fix the rust redo the interior, and paint, then burn the tires off the sob. lol

 

Nice Nice Nice...
Good for you...
Cheers......

 

I forgot to add air ride suspension to that list.

 

nice!.... what's wrong with the hood?

 

Good looking project. HRP

 

That's a beauty allright! Congrats!

 

nice car to make how you like

 

The previous owner slighly rear ended somone, so the front center of the hood is crushed in and it is bowed slightly.

Thanks everyone for the kind words. I am very excited to have this baby sitting in my shop. I have wanted one for way to long.
