sweet

 

Looks like a Great start, Congrats.

 

oh my, the AACA is going to be angry

 

thats our club color! we have painted motors that same color! i like it!

 

nice looking car love the 64 rivs.

 

I guess I'll have to follow your progress here (not AACA). To get the good stuff any way. Is the HAMB like Cinemax late night and the AACA is Disney.?

 

I guess if you have to put it in laymen's terms....



hahaha.

 

great car. A true factory custom, with horsepower to boot.

 

i really love a riviera.

nice car dude.

 

Looking good my riviera brother!

 

Thanks asshole.... So, now I've got to go out and work on mine? And it was only 110 yesterday, and I don't have any F'n A/C in the garage.
Good luck with her. Nice looking start.
You stickin with the patina? Or nice paint?

 

Someday, I'll have one, love those Rivieras!

 

Ive owned a couple of 64 Rivis, man they drive great! Those cars were ahead of their time...

 

lucky

 

Man that's like a knife to my heart...really miss my Rivi...one of these days I will change my avatar but I am clinging to it...congrats they are great cars...definitely, to me, one of Detroits best ever designs. Gonna get another one of these days as time and budget allows.

 

Looks good! Keep us updated.

 

I don't like em----I LOVE"EM----nice score man. ~Sololobo~

 

thanks all, the seller did a great job describing it prior to the sale,

right now just getting it protected from the midwest moisture and then on to run steer and stop.
probably won't be painted this season.

yeah, you need to get to work on yours. You damned kids and your fancy A/C...

 

I'll second that statement.

 

ground, primed and sealed trunk pan today.
posting progress pics for my own motivation more than anything... thanks for putting up with it.

 

engine's back on the frame. looking to turn the key for the first time on Monday.

 

I have always loved those cars !!! Tom (Tired Old Man)

 

ready for wiring and burn in.


I bought a coolcraft radiator, I ASSUMED it would come with a cap and plug, but it didn't. it fit right in the stock mounts like it was made for it though. if it doesn't spit at me tomorrow I'm gonna call it a good radiator for the money.

 

Fire it up!

 

hey turn the flash on! pictures will look brighter, just a little to dark. its looking nice.

 

if it makes it through the burn in I'll post a vid and some better pics. no sense making a huge deal of it until I know how long it's gonna be in there.

 

Cool car!!!!

 

she sat all winter and I went out and wired and started it tonight. small fire due to holley clear window plug popping out, but it was nice to hear her run. it goes and turns, now I just have to make it stop.

I know it's been 4 months since an update, but it was damned cold here...

 

Badass, goodluck!
