Nice Dave! Have you decided on when you're pulling that motor out yet?

djcrook73

hey john, probably in the spring. then it's going to the machine shop and im hoping to scrounge up the money for edelbrock heads with some other goodies to make it run real strong! here's my other refugees-delta88interiorandcleanup001.jpg

Best car to do a burnout in!

Sounds good and nice pic of the kids lol. Let me know when you get ready to pull the motor.

djcrook73

thanks old skl, im a gm man also if you could'nt tell. i also love buicks and had a 65 electra 225 fully loaded(got stolen never to return) 72 riviera, 96 riviera with a sick two tone paint job i did myself complete with ventiports from a park ave and 22s , 85 and 87 regal presidentials. nick, when i pulled up with the 98 at the burnout contest, they said "what is he gonna do with that" all snotty , so i replied "you'll see right now" and lit it up! i think most did not know that big motor + big torque= good burnout! john you will be notified for sure when it is being finished off. some probably thought i was high to dismantle her, but you got to see the titanic like underside so you know why. it helps that i found the other 98. old skl this is for you brother, the 96 riv with some almost ghetto restyling by me- i bought this car hit in the nose for $300 and did all the body and paint myself with the exception of the three shield logo i had my airbrush guy do that. enjoy!

Wow Dave that was a sweet Riv! Too bad it got stolen.

Looking forward to the final dismantal of the Titanic, I mean Ninety Eight! Lol

john the 65 electra is the one that was stolen in 1990. someone pulled into my friends yard where i was keeping it and hooked it with a tow truck and it was gone. had every option and cold ac too. i sold the 96 riv to a guy in colorado four years after i finished it for less than what i paid for the wheels. on these roads, 22 inch wheels are not at all practical but it was never a daily driver anyway so i did'nt care.i reached the point of do the whole undercarriage and engine compartment over to make it show worthy or just sell it. i put the proceeds towards buying the yellow gp and every time i open up the four barrel, im glad i did!

if the 98 did'nt already have one flat tire i would kill it one last time the day of engine removal!

Kids and their toys!

Nice Dave! Throw the flat on the front and burn it one last time! Lol

OLD SKL 69

That Riv looks AWESOME. I like that look, even if it is almost ghetto. Then again, I have the same taste. Some of my friends made fun of me when I pull up with the 85 Riv I have. Had to get rid of those gangster whitewalls for some regular sized ones.

That gold Olds has a twin in the new show on FX called The Americans.

hey darrell, thanks for the compliments on the cars, you have some sweet ones too. riv's were always a love it or hate it car, but they almost always at least had ***** in the styling department and i definitely love them, had a 72 also and it always turned heads. john, i may just follow your suggestion as it would be fun to blow the tires right off one more time! kQQl cat, i know of the show,but have'nt seen it i'll have to check it out, thanks for the info

lsutigers93

that Riv is beautiful!!

djcrook73

thanks, it did come out pretty kick *** seeing i bought it for $300 hit in the front and spent $8000.00 between rims, paint, trim and clips and a new rack and tie rods. i drove it during nice weather and sold it to a guy in colorado for $2800 off ebay as i was tired of it and wanted a new project!

75regency

djcrook73

Hey Dave,

It was great to see you the other day. Here are a couple of pics I took from my visit. I also took a really nice pic of my car at the college we visited. I love this picture! It looks like a dealer brochure pic! Thanks again for everything and keep working on that silver 98 for the show next month!
