Mine looked a little down in the ass After I dropped it. It sat level but the wheel openings aren't level with each other. I put a pair of coil over shocks on to hold the ass end up a bit.(1") The wheels look a little more even in the wheel openings now.
I think the wires I had on my previous '63 Riv were the 75 Series from Wheel Vintiques..not cheap, but cool as hell.....
The Riviera name actually predates them and was used by Buick as far back as 49. I still think the rubber band tires are all wrong on it. I have faith that Ryan has the good taste to not go that route.
I know, a bit of a mistake in my wording. When i think if the body style Ryan has, i think Riviera first, then Buick..the earlier ones were always Buick Riviera's to me. Don't worry, makes no sense to me either. Tony
Looks awesome. The stance is perfect. Good wheel and tire selection as well. Too many people go out to left field when they choose wheels and tires.
Is it the Italian underground in action? - somebody's pushin Borranis to the Austin crowd - even one of Charlie's High Top T's was wearing them at the roundup. They'd look great on the Riv though.
Three inches is perfect. Looks great, and I'm sure you'll find that's it's just hard enough to get a jack under it. Not too much of a pain in the ass, just enough.
How about a Doane Spencer inspired build like his T-bird, but think Riviera, kidney beans,knock-offs...
