Cool looking car bud! That’ll be a fun project! Denali still looks killer as always!

That's one of my dream cars.... so lucky!

thanks man.

man, i swear i have mocked up 50 different wheels in photoshop. and the one's that look the best to me are the common Boss 330 / U2-55 wheels everyone runs. Everything else just looked cheap or too flashy or too much chrome. I would love to have a set of Billet Wheels made but thats $750 a piece each wheel. I can't justify paying $3000 for wheels on a vehicle i paid $4000 for haha



i just want to go for a dang ride in the rocket! that thing must be a blast.

If it's anything like this one, it has to be insane!

How much boost are you running ??

@Sevenevez, got a few Q's....you any chance have any pics of an emerald green basecoat with blue pearl and another with green basecoat with gold pearl. Trying to figure out what these look like as Google comes up empty

Finally picked up a new project. The Denali's first time trailering a car worked great considering her ride height. Picked this Rivi up in Cali on Sunday. This project is going to take up at least a couple years i would assume. I have been wanting to build a 65 Riviera for a long time so it should be fun.

I’ve always loved the front on these, super evil genius/mad scientist. Now oif I could only find a boat tail version like that. Can’t wait to see what you do, your work is always top notch and a pleasure to look at.

yup, thats the same way i feel about it. wicked/evil front end. i can stare at these angles and curves for days



I like the rear too, and i hear ya about the boat tail, they were almost like a stingray rear window. i think a few people have actually mated the later bodystyle Riviera boat-tail to the 63-65 body before. Mighta been 2014 Ridler award winner. anyways. yeah, love the Rivi lines

i have to admit, i miss when i was building the Denali and getting car parts delivered every week was half the fun.
so it's nice to be knee deep in a new build.



But, just to stay on subject because this is a Denali thread. Here's a random shot of the Yukon.

Need a fresh pair of pants asap! Also looked it up and it was the 2014 winner that bright yellow is not to my liking but what a sick ride that guy built. Paint it flat or satin black like yours and we’d be in business.

It may be a Denali build, but you know a bunch of us love your Riv, so you GOTTA do a Riv build thread. Maybe put some shots in here. I love the hideaways. Have any interior shots?
