    Hey Matt, thanks for your confidence in the Riv. I am pleased that Laura likes it!

    but please don't tell anybody I am a nice guy. You will ruin my reputation.

  7. Good looking car Matt! I can't wait to see it in person! Maybe you should drive it down now that you have a dependable roadworthy car. :D

    Add some really good 3" dropped springs, the best set of shocks you can buy, and a set of those big sway bars that dude from Australia is making and you are done with what is already probably the best '65 I've ever seen...

  28. How does it handle and ride now? Any bottoming? My new Riv is above ( post 300 )and I am not sure if I want -2 or -3"
     
  29. Here's mine, needs lowering. I don't know if I'm going to go with springs or bags.
