Default 65 Riviera

Just seen this car at One Off Design in Santa Clara, They did a complete frame off build, and now its getting close to the finishline, looks like its going to be shown at some local shows this year, its been chopped, bagged ,and shaved, and what a beauty I must say. The front hood has been skinned with a cutlass hood and a custom cowl was built to go with the flow, Wess the car builder is an amazing metal man. and has built acouple of show cars. I will be getting some build pics from the Riv and will be posting them soon figured I'd share these for now.

'65 Riviera is in my opinion one of the classiest/sexiest looking cars ever built. I love it!

A Riv is on my car bucket list. That is a great example of what I would like to do with one.

Wow... I didnt go to that extent, but here is one I recently freshend up and sold (before the exhaust work ha ha)... I also think that the 65 Riv is one of the sexiest cars ever built. They are very hard to find trim pieces for, so it is really important to start out with a decent car.

Default I saw this @ the March GG show

Very clean car, I loved it was rockin' Rushforth wheels! Amazing how low it was when the bags were deflated, the oil pan was about 1/2" off the ground!

Got any more details on the drum brakes? Are they functional or covers hiding disk brakes?
