• '67 Riviera finished , , [PICS]
  • Well done. Nice and clean. *NM*
  • Super nice. Are the emblems photoetch or did you foil kit? *NM*
    • Photoetch. The '67 has the scripts on the hood and trunk as well as the fenders so I needed 2 of the '66 sheets for all four scripts. *NM*
  • Beauty, eh? Lovin’ the Star Wars air cleaner! *NM*
    • Yea, me too. '67 was the only year to use them. *NM*
      • Just curious.... Even though it was only used on the 67, was it included in the later kits?
        • Yea, they're in every fastback Riviera since. The newest '69 kit I have has it and I also have a builtup '68 with it on the engine. They seem to be missing the two small pieces that attach to the sides though. I destroyed the ones on this one and was going to use the ones,,, *PIC*
          • In the instruction page you posted, it shows the engine having an option of "Hilborn" fuel injection. Is that in the latest '69 kit, too? *NM*
            • Yes, with stacks and some funky air cleaners attached to them. *NM*
          • Thanks... That explains it! *NM*
            • That's wild that they supply the manifold, but nothing else? (stacks, timing cover, fuel pump...) *NM*
              • No stacks so it fits under the hood. Notice the "fuel injection pump" that replaces the power steering pump *NM*
                • Oh yeah, I see it now. Thanks. I believe that's pure fantasy on the part of the kit designers. *NM*
                  • I think the '69 kit has some sort of stack/air filter arrangement, not sure if it still has the fuel pump *NM*
                    • Yes, it does. I know because I keep throwing them away. LOL. It does show stacks on the side of the '67 box but my example was pre-built so I don't know for sure if they were in there or not. *NM*
                • Pretty sure they'd fit Mark. The stock air cleaner and carb sit pretty high to start with. I cut the mounting tab from the bottom of my air cleaner so it would sit lower and look better. *NM*
  • Looking great Steve! *NM*
  • NIce build! What color did you use? *NM*
    • Well, I wanted a dark teal color so I has some very dark blue and added a bit of very dark forest green and that's what I ended up with. *NM*
      • Looks like an OEM color for this car. Very nice build! *NM*
  • BEAUTIFUL! *NM*
  • I'm with David.... No other word fits better than, BEAUTIFUL! *NM*
  • WOW!! *NM*
  • Very nice build, Steve. The color is perfect for that car. *NM*
  • Very nicely done, I'm in Riviera mode now, working on a custom '63, so it's great to see such a nice build, I'm using some of that kit's stuff. Cheers! *NM*
    • Yes, I've been following your build on the other board. Very cool. *NM*
  • Very clean build as usual. I particularly like the tinted windshield. However it needs an NB plate *NM*
  • That looks perfect, Steve. The redlines pop the finish, and the Buick rallys look great *NM*
  • Very sleek looking Heavy Hot-Rod. Nice job. *NM*
  • Nicely done and great detailing on the chrome esp the emblems. *NM*
  • Beautiful resto Steve. The color, details, just super nice. *NM*
  • Beautiful! *NM*
