    Here she is with just a base coat. I love the way the matte contrasts with the bright work. Also have some pics of the '64 dash and '63 wheel I installed. I always liked the '64 dash better than the black '65s. Anyway, what do ya think? BTW, I love the WWW's, if they are good enough for the silver arrow they are good enough for me :D. I know a lot of you prefer the skinny whites, I dig 'em too I just wanted these for the prototype look I'm going for..

  11. The 65 Riv is the best looking Riv ever made and yours is proof of that.

    I could nitpick... but with how good the overall look of the car is, I'll refrain. Sweet Rivi.

    Call me weird, but I have always favored the '65 over the '63-'64.
     
  22. I prefer the 1" whites,but it looks really good. Dash looks great too....

    I'm guessin you mean the astros, well that's a tough one for me. Imo these are the best wheel for the riv, there are others that look good but I'd always be thinking about how better the astros would look. An early version did come out in '64, so close enough for my prototype;).

    'Course if your talking about the WWW's..... Bill Mitchell would disagree

    Easily one of the most tasteful overall looks I have ever seen on any make or model of car.

    It really is something to look at.

    I think you've done a hell of a job.
     
  25. That's really pretty, there I said it.

    Wow, this site is crazy fast.. NO other site compares!! Thanx, for all the compliments, and like I said I knew the skinnys are more "period correct" I love 'em too... This is the HAMB and I do respect your opinions...

    Weaverville, thanx for posting the shots, wish I had been around to meet you I dig your work. (Sorry, the Riv is stayin..:D) I was basically a zombie goin on a few hours sleep at SOS, all the trim and the dash was still off at 2am the night before...

    I tend to prefer shiny paint, but that car looks damn nice just like that. Really nice job on that.
