okiedrifter's car "IN THE BEGINNING"

hey just thought i would give a pic of my car, soon to come: 5% tint, and hopefully lowering springs. yes that is a dent on the hood, it looks as though someone took a sledge to it but its just that one spot, no creases around it :wierd:

With no creases it should pop out fairly easily. I'd love to see some other pics of her. It looks like you have a deep lip on your rims...they look good. What color is the interior?

unfortunatly the is is greyish tan. and filthy, the leather in the driver seat is ripped

Hey, I can hook you up with a guy that can fix your seat fairly cheap.

lookin good, but like jack said, we would like to see some more pics of that black and rim combo.

nothing spaecial, other than the heat wrap on the airbox

closeup of the rim, 16x8

door speakers, sound awesome 5.25" and 3"

The seat tear sucks, but all in all it's not bad
I'm actually getting 5% tint tomorrow, so i'll get those pics on here ASAP

Very nice Tyler. I think the five spokes loook good on the riv. Where are you getting the 5% and how much is he charging you? Do they have to remove old tint too? I have to get mine done soon and T-town's not too far.

where the dick did you find 3in speakers???

3.5" are a common size, used mostly in dash applications:

i know 3.5" are but 3.5" doesn't fit in that hole. I have been looking for 3" for a while

He's using 3.5", probably enlarged the hole.

yeah my bad they are 3.5 i "mis-typed" if you will, i used a dremel to enlarge the hole. and a friend knows a guy who will tint me up for around $150 not too bad but i couldn't wait any longer!

I purchased some of the buick fender port replicas, what do you guys think?

Welcome to the forum Tyler, I like that style of portholes. I've got a set of those too, but haven't put them on yet. I am having some paint work done on my '65 right now'. My oldest daughter lives in Tulsa. It's good to have you here.

Nice lookin Rivi! I like the wrapped CAI looks good.

got the tint, now i'm just waiting for it to stop raining for 5 seconds, so i can wash my car and it not be in vain! literally it has rained EVERYDAY for the last month! i cant take anymore

we've been in a drought up until today! and...i just washed mine
yours is looking really good i like the rims, but you need better tires than continental

yeah tell me about it, i have never had them balanced because i keep telling myself i will get new ones, so the vibrations are a constant reminder. lol

finally got pics of the tint job!!!! and some pics of the car while, "clean"



i have some stuff that helps to clear the corner problem :after:

:before: more on that later.

not bad!!


I NEED a new mirror!!



Even better with a wash






whadda ya think? next on the agenda: wet sand and buff followed by painting the front bumper and hood. the car has been pre-painted sometime in it's life, but it was never finished, so it is total orange peel. a little 1500 grit should fix that right up. and yes, i'm having a pro do it!!! she's well on her way~!

damn I love the look of black rivs that are tinted.. makes me even more excited to get mine done lol.. sick ride man

Looks good. What % is that tint?

Looks great!! Cant wait to get mine done. Wheels look good too!
cheers!

awsome! black on black with chrome is one of my favorites.
who has the other riv in the first pic? are they on the forum yet?

Lookin' good Tyler, tight ride! I love the pic with the pair of rivs facing each other. I can't wait to throw sum five spokes on mine someday.

the green one is a 95 i'm trying to sell, it's not perfect, such as the door panels are loose at the top, and the supercharger makes more than average noise, ( i think it needs oil but havn't had time to check it), and thee are two faded spots in the paint. but everything works. and the body is strait. i'll get some pics on here soon of it. i got it cause i knew a guy who wanted one, but he is broke, so now i have an extra car. lol
