    What's up fellas? I've been browsing the H.A.M.B for years and finally figured I'd join since I'm getting around to my riviera project so I can share it with everyone.
    I have a 63 riviera that I'm building, solid body, needs some floor work, paint and the seats need to be recovered I'm doing all of the work myself. It's going to be built in the 60s bellflower style. I have full air ride except the brackets because I'm trying to figure out if I can use impala brackets or if I have to use the riviera style. I have a set of 14x6 reversed astro supremes that I bought from south G.A customs from the H.A.M.B classifieds, 1965 glove box door because the riviera emblem is slightly different, homemade grill with the headlights relocated behind the turn signal grills. I haven't decided on the paint yet so I might just paint the body with some semi gloss black and candy paint the roof till I decide. I will post pics within the next week

    Until then, stay safe and thanks for having me.


    If anyone has info on using 58-64 brackets please let me know.

    I used to live up the street from Becky's, just past Frosty Freez.

    You got any pics of that Riv?

    Welcome from Kansas.
    I think they used to use Buick engines to fire up the SR71 blackbird.
    A highschool friend had a Rivi and it attracted all the girls!
