The Red Riv starts getting stripped down for fresh paint next week as soon as I finish clearing out the garage, so this is pretty well it for this year. enjoy these pictures of some of my cruising friends cars. The Rivs strip down and paint pages coming as the work progresses. Rob

Thanks alot for checking out my Ciera coupe and Pacers! Yes, ABSOLUTELY PARTY ON! Your Riv is SWEET! Miss mine, though sadly it was not a Boat tail Riv. I had two and 84 that same color and a 96! Both great cars, so I am sure yours is as well! %8s All the way!
