    I have only 2 mild complaints about this particular build. First, I want to disclose the fact that I would own and buy this particular car, so I'm not talking crap. But #1, they put too much layer of paint and/or bondo, you can hardly see the bodyline that runs from the side/middle of the body, this line runs from the front fender, all the way to the rear and then drops down at the end/rear. This kind of takes away some of the beauty of the bodylines. Perhaps it's just the video why you can't see it. #2, he removed the chrome trim that starts/runs around the front wheel well and runs all along the car all the way to the back wheel well. This car would have looked a lot more beautiful if the owner wouldn't have removed that.

    Agree this is a stunning car. Paint is perfection. Look and stance are spot on. Whole car is a great package. Have always had a soft spot for these '65 Riviera's. Grew up with a guy who in the mid-70s had a '65 Skylark. It had all the toys for the day and could rip the tires off as well. His dad went out and bought a '66 RIviera because he loved the Skylark so much but wanted 'one better' then his son.

    I like how Andy is saying "...it's not a low rider, it's not a hot rod. It's somewhere in between." When I first saw the image of the car on the video cover, that was exactly what I was thinking. So he nailed his vision. One of the really cool things about building or working on your own car, especially if it isn't perfectly stock, is that there is plenty of room for creativity and personality. And that idea applies even when making only subtle changes that keep original styling, as Andy did so nicely on his 65. Another great video AutotopiaLA!! Keep them coming!

It's coming along really Good, all original, green interior. Just found it online one Saturday morning after looking for months, almost everyday. I hope to post Videos of my Buicks one day. My Baby is a 60 Buick Electra, Gloss Black Laquer Paint. It's a pedal start car. My kids call it the Batman Car. I Love Classics, take care everyone.
