Couple things. Stock style interior obviously, just recovering with upgraded materials?
And the frame...that’s welded to the body. How are they going to finish it off coating wise?

The car looks great and I love the sneak peak of Welds truck color you’ve done on the firewall. :headspin:

I know Charley and I - amongst others - have done a tremendous amount of "car stuff"... we could be/can be pretty "jaded" after awhile. Kind of a "been there done that". THAT DOESN'T happen on this tour. Everywhere we go is just about jaw dropping. The roads chosen - the places visited. The group. Doesn't get any better.

Curious on what kind of ride and handling characteristics your wanting the white tank to have?

You know Gordon --- I used to put my garbage in my buddies dingy when he'd raft up to me..... BUT NOW!?!? I'm just happy we all have a place for our dirty laundry while on the tour. 10 days worth adds up! I've seen him sleep in a '69 Camaro trunk -- Surely, Shirley.... he's got plenty of extra room in this trunk. No room for clubs in my '40 -- don't want them scratching up the bed... so another good reason for him to build the Rivi.

I knew it...that exactly why I asked. I follow them on IG. When they made them, they weren't painted/powder coated, and someone asked in the post what what they for and EVOD said "A custom 65 Riviera." So, I said to myself, hmmmm and then asked, "Would these happen to be a white Riviera with a Roadster Shop chassis?" I have them making me a set too Charlie. Just waiting on my chassis to be finished so I can give Shawn my specs. Believe it or not my wheels will be similar to yours with a split 5-spoke design.

Sweet, billet plastic. See u at Race Deck. U driving there or meeting the Riv there? Oh, did you lower the seat so your hair doesn't end up like mine? (dam those abrasive headliners)

[clill]

At this point I am meeting the Riv there. TI think there are 5 cars that this 3000 mile trip will be their maiden voyages. Hopefully no teething problems....

Charlie, I know this is an odd request and just maybe just a tad too much to ask, but I'd love to see a few pics of what the inside of that thing looks like. Just curious. I know it has nothing to do with your thread, but I'm just in awe and wanna see.

Pro-Touring Tank build? :lol:

[Panteracer]

We went to the guys place in Portola valley a couple of times
who had three buildings with tanks, scud launchers etc... very cool

Then one of my Concrete subs was a big tank owner
When he went on vacation they went some place in Texas
to run them and shoot them... never wanted to piss him off

We got this one from that place in Portola. The guy died. He put a bunch in a museum and then auctioned a bunch of stuff off.

GWs smart ass buddy. Figured I would look,, glad I did that car is nice,, inner fenders are amazing as well as floor. Should be fun. I also hope you are standing beside Greg when someone asks him what color he is going to paint his truck!
