That shiny dash will cause a bad visibility through the windshield.... Although the Riviera emblems were taken off on the outside... he added one on the center piece of the rear seat (which looks good IMHO)
I will say this, it is extremely clean. However, someone went to great lengths and cost to turn it into a comic book car and ruin it's value. Those ricer wheels look terrible not only on ricers, but on American cars too.
only thing its missing is the turbine rims, big honking O1 on the door, and the rebel flag on top of the roof. But like everyone said it was done in his taste's at the time. It would not take much to change it back to somewhat normal again. Of course this coming from someone that is gonna have a dual quad tunnel rammed 355 chevy poking thru the hood a 1976 Chevy Laguna (LIME GREEN I MIGHT ADD, factory) with ansen sprints on the corners and 10" wide in back
It's like dressing Mr. America in orange tights and a tutu. If you look closely, you can see tears dripping from the headlights. Poor Rivi!
If the Green Hornet is ready for a new Gig, this may be perfect. I agree, not poorly done - just tough to take. Then again, we spend hours pouring over the correct speedo clips so we may not be completely normal either. Steve
Poods....you of all people ! How cool would it be living in Vol country and driving that around. If I lived there I would drive it everywhere.
Well, it has a certain amount of, shall we say, visibility? It would be impossible to lose in a parking lot too! Lot's of work and from the pics, seems to be a well done effort. Not my cup of tea for color scheme but other than that, it's a cool ride. I actually like the blacked out rear and other chrome. Not big on the front end mods but that's just MHO. I'd paint it, redo the interior, get some new wheels and tires and drive it!
