My Riv will finally get finished

[Billtvegas]

Whats up guys. I lucked out in December whenI got selected to be on the Bullrun reality show. Not only did I get to go on an unbelievable trip in one of my cars. I met a guy I consider a friend now. I saw an unbelievable camero built by TPI at the barrett jackson auction here in LV. When I showed up on the show there was the camero. Brook & I became friends and now after the filming I am sending my Riviera to Brooks shop in withchata KS. If it comes out 1 1-10th as nice as that camaro Ill be really stoked. Im having him put avintage air set up, smooth the firewall. amybe change the induction? And to overall finish the car. I just dont have time. His prices are pretty reasonable.

[TeamDart]

Did you send a car to TPI?

Not after seeing his Bondo Bucket on Bullrun! :enguard:

Lol, j/k

[class67]

Good luck with Bullrun and welcome to the site!

I have to correct you though (just a peave of mine...lol) Camaro is spelled with an A!!

[Billtvegas]

Peeve fixed.:) Ive never been a camAro fan. But after seeing Brook's in person. I am definatly keeping my eyes open. Just have to thin the heard (too may cars) first. Of course after the Riviera is done maybe not?

Dude that is bad ass!!!!!

[darren@ridetech]

Love the Riv's. Looks good!

[icebird84]

wow excellent Riviera

[Mark Smith]

looks like the lexus green i painted my car with.

[claytonisbob]

That is one mean stance. Good looking car!

[srh3trinity]

Nice Riviera. I would love to have one of those one day. I have always liked the lines of the car and the headlight feature too. Stance looks great!

[BaddestBuick]

Bada$$

absolutely beautiful... a 65 is the next car I will build.

Love it.

[Serpa69]

Right on.. Is that a nail head?

[shmoov69]

Can't beat the look of multi carbs. But fuel injection is too nice for sure!

So, go with the MoonJection throttle bodies that look like a multi carb setup. Six two's would be the bomb on that !

[Billtvegas]

Right on.. Is that a nail head?
yea its a 425.

[Billtvegas]

well I got my Riviera back this last week. It still needs more detail work. I guess this car is cursed.

[MrQuick]

sweet ride Bill.

I don't know anyone with a Riv without a curse. Price for owning a wicked looking car I suppose.

Id take being cursed for owning that beauty. Im a huge Riv. fan and thats one fine specimen.

[CruizinKev]

love it!!! :twothumbs

[ssmike]

Let me know if you need to part with it. HA HA. Bad Ass.

i still regret not getting the '65 my uncle had for sale 15 years ago......

[srh3trinity]

Great looking Riviera. That is a cruiser I want to build one day for sure. How much tire will they take?

[72mach1]

I never knew I liked Riviera's, til I saw that car! Definitely doesn't look cursed to me.

[kstompaint]

Bill, post more pics! I could use the inspiration. My 65 project is about to begin at RPM Hot Rods in Warrendale, PA (rpmhotrods.com). I'm in search of a LS2 or LS3 take out with a 6 speed.
