Sweet Riveria! '63 or '64?
Very nice, looks like that one escaped the low rider crowd.
64, Roger
It'll look like this in a few weeks.
Did this 1 a few years ago and in only lasted on the market for 3 days
Better hurry up- you got less than a month.
Where's the top?
Well I asked earlier if you built just '32 Fords but I know the answer to that now. Cool car and adore the two tone one also so should be another quick seller. Is the photos taken outside your workshop???
Yep --- Outside my Hobby ShopQuote:

Now I believe you are retired and building those cars was your idea of relaxing but heck I could of done with you in the bodyshop I used to manage. You would of set a excellent workpace that I would of demanded everybody to keep up too otherwise out the door with they went.:D When do you slow down and just catch your breath???;););)
Know what ya mean Whiplash, and thanx for the Kudos
I owned a Body Shop for over 40 years, and I told every guy I hired, that there was only 1 tool box in the shop without wheels, mine, and that if they couldn't keep up the pace, their boxes had wheels on them so I could roll them out the door for them if they didn't produce. Usually got their attention when they come to work in the morning and see someones tools sittin @ the back door ready to load.
Don't stop now!!! Here are a few ideas! :-)
Now that is BUTT Fu**in UGLY
Yes I totally agree with you DA34GUY ... I like the look of that two tone one you did and the great choice of wheels and tryes you made for it... They are a beautiful looking car from the factory I believe without butching them...
Just my opinion tho.....
"64, Roger

DA34GUY, the one ya did a few years ago is just gorgeous, so can't wait to see what this one turns out like.

DA34GUY, I don't know whether you have mentioned this before, but what size is your "hobby shop?" It looks like a great shop....maybe some pictures?
I like those Rivs in stock form,but that two tone one you did,really looks good..:cool:And,yes,what size is that little hobby shop?The whole place looks nice..
Thanx Guy
The shop is 3200 sq ft, just the right size for 1 guy to scatter parts around.
The booth, office, parts room and Shi**er tale up about 1100 sq ft.
Good size,,down right luxurious in fact,for one man..:cool:
Update on the RIVI
A clone of the other one?? Still had paint left over?? :D If it worked the first time, it will work again, maybe this one will only last 2 days!! Good luck.

Nice way to fill a trailer. Love those Rivieras. Looked sweet to begin with. The roadster looks pretty cool too. No you just need a RPU!:LOL:
But I'm guessing you might have one of those too!:3dSMILE:
3200 sq ft. seems just about right!:3dSMILE::D
I wish I had some land where I could build a shop that size. It would be great to have some space to spread out. 10 years ago I wished I just had a garage.
4 years ago we did an addition and rebuilt the chicken barn into a small to car garage, that seemed to fill over night. Now more space would be great, but really I'm just grateful to have a covered space to keep the truck, harley and tools!
Got it cleared this a.m.
Got new shoes
Looking excellent and another excellent wheel tyre choice. What do you do with the hub caps as they looked in good condition. Collect them for around the workshop walls or when you have enough take them to a swapmeet??
I came across this picture the other day and thought maybe you may have painted this car or like the idea. Both paint jobs look really nice but I think your silver looks better.
