Customizing a '65 Buick Riviera! - Full Custom Garage - Automotive Reality

[@TKO44647]

Congratulations, Ian you deserve it

[@user-hy5bu3og1n]

Jacks tail lights are awesome

[@James-ik8yz]

I helped Jack with the taile lights. Lots of fun and memories

[@STRAIGHTP]

GM's sexiest creation. I own a 65 Riviera. Favorite car ever owned

[@larry6795]

Agreed, first generation Riviera’s, especially the 65.. I’m also a proud owner of a 65, and love it stock ✌🏽

[@onewileyguy]

I had one. I miss her so. Never sell it. Sold mine for my son's college education. But I miss her so much.

[@STRAIGHTP]

@@onewileyguy well. i sure hope your Son makes enough money with that education to buy his Dad his Riviera back. I have gone through hard times but i never got rid of that Rivi

[@tienierabie7127]

About time you are in the hall of fame. Your work is outstanding

[@roynew8998]

So proud of your accomplishments. You are a Awesome man. Proud that you got in the Hall. During the show. Will continue to watch your shows

[@romanengelbrecht6717]

Episodes with Victor are the best

[@ChefPHD]

Ian Roussel is the best.

[@owais146]

YOU ARE NO.1 SPLENDID MAESTRO

[@davidlouis2354]

Saw a Rivera in the mid 80's with the same front grill and light set up. It was gleaming black and I just had to sit in it. I'm from the UK and this thing seemed like a boat, it was huge to me. However, it was over my budget and I ended up driving out in a Triumph Spitfire Mk 3. It was also black but I never forgot about the one that got away. Memories!

[@artlandmarknyc]

The Pontiac GTO and this Buick Riviera 👍👍😉are the two cars I gravitated always!! Love the Rivi also the Boat tail and also not to forget the Olds 442💪💪

[@JesseHurtado-k5t]

Looks really nice just the way it is

[@dantoth3199]

Illuminate behind the bumper!

[@Dougk70]

Congrats on the Hall of Fame mate, well done👍

[@pennz69]

Congrats Ian. well deserved!

[@embee1973]

Put a long thin LED taillight strip in the lower line in the trunk area. So it is completely hidden until you hit the brakes. That way you don’t have to change the rear end. It looks great clean without taillights.

[@jamesgilpin5535]

Awesome Ian. Victor is a cool customer.

[@rolansmith9951]

I liked both lights in the rear

[@kevs6402]

All 4 tail lights were awesome together.

[@iamtherealevil]

I am commenting before finishing the video but you just layed it down and shut the trunk. My thoughts were Jack's taillights on the top and mirrored set below the bumper. So the bumper splits the lights but keeps the lights on the edge.

[@davidlouis2354]

I would keep the original rear lights above the bumper and have the same again under the bumper so they look longer.

[@geoffreymills9932]

Im sure im too late but I'm thinking something 64 GTO taillights would look awesome with the grill and front end treatment

[@nelsondejesus7846]

I love this Riviera I like the small tail lights on the car.

[@nauticz1]

What is the chunky grill from on that convertible at 42:18

[@yourhandlehere1]

that's a good 3-4 body trunk. Takes a lot of work to make it look like you didn't do a lot of work. Awesome. What keeps that silverflake from rubbing off when you wash it? I see it's got glue but that just looks super delicate.

[@artlandmarknyc]

I would have put the tail lights..left and right led strip inside the Chrome rear bumper 😉😉👍💪

[@GeorgePawlak-y1j]

Injector might be a pain in the butt at times but I'll tell you what I really like the guy he's a perfectionist there's nothing wrong with that this is money his cars what he wants and can do that's why he chooses em because Ian is good at what he does and it's a perfectionist himself so don't complain

[@kipphawley4514]

Why not make a smaller version of Impala tail lights and mount them on the lower end lip on your trunk lid. That would be very perfect and cool. Also that be very different from any other vehicle's. Have 3 each sides. Keep up with great work ethic. I enjoy watching you and your friends and family. My nickname is Zhead.

[@ryananderson8511]

If I owned the Riviera I would do two strips in the bumper for the reverse lights and brake lights that would look amazing

[@ce7618]

I like it with the 4 lights on it. Maybe 2 side lights as indicators and middle lights as brake lights and running lights. Just my opinion 🇬🇧

[@MikeKiddieCoachbuilder]

Is that Bill Hines "Little Bat" at 37:39 ?

[@JesseHurtado-k5t]

That’s the white boy look used to do the 54s French tail French headlights, teardrop and tennis chop tops yeah a nice look for the low riders as well

[@brianbrusseau3233]

I`m converting my 65 Riviera to front disc brakes. I was wondering what rotors and calipers you have used? Your reply would be much appreciated.

[@kenemery4138]

Love the chrome wheels. Who knows the style of wheels

[@ThePOTUSofMatthewEmbryBradshaw]

20:30 jacks design should be turned clear for reverse lights.

[@u3192]

Bravo Maestro

[@atleeriksen8514]

Ian in the Hall Of Fame was about time. The taillights I would have hidden in the rearwindow. That rearend is waaay to clean to mess up with any taillights...If any lights in th erar I can see them as super thin, and bright ledstrips horizontal in the bumber.

[@richardbaker7557]

I love it......very nice....

[@WilderPamias]

Make victor rear lights on make em Clear for reverse it would help seeing back when parking ?

[@mikebarrett3428]

Put the taillights in the bumper!

[@jeremyhanna3852]

Right on the bottom edge pointing down so all u see the reflection on the paint

[@masterofcents.8175]

I think a short row of single LED lights drilled into the curve of the bumper itself. It would be hidden almost look like it wasn’t there.

[@jeremyhanna3852]

But the tail light in the bottom edge of the bumper pointing down so you don't change the rear of the car at all but u still got functional lights

[@James-ik8yz]

Jack Wiemers Rivi ! 😊

[@WilderPamias]

It’s a beautiful creation I love it classy

[@brianscott9861]

Beautiful job. 👍

[@biendelcarmen6168]

Add taillight put in rear bumper led lights inside the bumper so only lights up when u hit the brakes and you will never see the lights when not on

[@CalvinMayes-zv5di]

Use both sets!!!

[@manulucky027]

Can't find the previous episodes 😢

[@johnallen262]

Where is the video of the 65 Riviera being built

[@rolansmith9951]

After watching this I think you need rear grill lights like the front

[@VernonWallacejr-hu4yg]

Might have took the jaks lights and turn them sideways under the bumper

[@johnsavage6628]

Ok. Where do you drive it?

[@SDMF5000]

I know it's all for show.....but Victor is a pain in the ass.

[@albertrivera5443]

Put some 68 impala tail lights

[@matthewmarquisee238]

Jacks taillights are way better than Victors idea.

[@jimcockburn4652]

I thought Victor said "it makes me walk on three legs"

[@gusgone4527]

I call that a collapsed unroadworthy suspension. Crusher food!

[@danielvick7875]

Myself I would have kept the upper fender lights but used clear Plexi with red accent lights. For my thought is not direct led , to me leds look cheap? Just me .the clear would still have anyone looking for for the tail lights

[@michealfigueroa6325]

"Jack's" Tailights and take the TRASH STRIPE off the side I have had three Rivters's and thank GOD Victor did not get his hands on any of them !!!

[@tomsnider7611]

Jack's tail lights looked perfect. Give them a nice, subtle chrome bezel, and it would've been perfect.

[@sirhands65]

I'm so happy I have a 65 Buick Riviera. But I'm so sad that it's just sitting in a garage. I need the money to do what I want to do with it. One of the first things I want to get for my Buick Riviera. Is a house where I can put it then fix on it.

[@JimBobBarkdoll]

I would put a break light around the license plate box , that would look cool

[@ddmau7995]

JACKS TAILLIGHTS WITH A TRIM AROUND IT IN CHROME

[@johncoy3699]

too much victor

[@Matthew_Mini]

Not enough Victor.

[@scottstudebaker2959]

This is Victor's dream, why do you what to put Victor's dreams down. To each his own.😊😊😊😊. Well if you get into land yachts then go right ahead

[@George-tz1cv]

Actually, the more Victor the better. He has spectacular insights.

[@ng_bn]

😂😂😂😅😝🤧🤧😝🤧

[@jimmygliss1171]

Ypu need to make up your mind about paint and detail about your construction and not follow some else like Victor, you have a wonderful imgination use it to its fullest.

[@bobbywonder4574]

jack's light is better

[@guillermomartinez2339]

Needs 13" spokes...no tint...the silver leafing is a little too much...probably look better thinner and going just straight across

[@James-ik8yz]

Working with Jack at his shop . He dropped the ball and never offered me any of his cars 😮😢 . I would left Jacks car alone and just paint it the Candy Orange jack had on the shelf. Oh well .....

[@romandybala]

People use their money as a power tool. If he's bring lots $$$$$$$$ then bury your principles . If not, pass him on to the next guy. Imagine if he turned up at a car show and started his this and that bs. he would be told quick smart to eff off. Bring money and everyone licks ass.

[@user-hy5bu3og1n]

I allway s wondered how jack passed away ??? RIP Jack

[@James-ik8yz]

Jack had a head cold on the plane back from LA to Chicago. Wich turnd into Covid. ! He passed from Covid. Even had a beard like Snata. His snake brother will Sold everything of his in Chicago. ​@user-hy5bu3og1n

[@MrAussieCrasher]

Love Victors humour Cool

[@GregoryBamber]

I agree with Victor, the rear just doesn't suit the rest of the car.

[@mikeedson3189]

You took a beautiful car and made it look like ca ca.

[@robinredbreast-kc5gs]

Mirror the front

[@VernonWallacejr-hu4yg]

Would want Ean to help me with my truck it's a 99 gmc one ton really need his help

[@ZulFikar-sn1vr]

Clear tail lights with red bulbs would be very discreet...

[@Matthew-x9d]

Victor, Patron of the Vehicle Arts.

[@sirhands65]

Let's see if you can do a better job than Bill Mitchell.

[@HoosierRooster]

The answer to that question is a hell no they can't

[@mykec.selene8302]

Your content is great thanks so much but you need to find another host! The one you're using is a total dork! Sorry to say that, but it's true!

[@snuffa.luffaguss6337]

They should have left Jack's original TAIL lights in it. That shit look SO FUCK UP without it🤨

[@robbiesmith6417]

The rear quarters ruined the looks of that iconic beauty

[@paulpz04]

I can't stand when dudes fill in or even partially fill in the rear wheel wells and hide the rear wheel..ive seen it look right on some Mercs but other than that it's cringe

[@garrypritchard1658]

Fucken up another good car???????😢😢😢😢😢

[@lovsompie]

how did Ian not want to kill victor..lol

[@seanboy-kr1kr]

Vicks cool

[@James-ik8yz]

Jacks lights could have been the reverse lights

[@user-gn1ic9ww8q]

thats my size

[@HoosierRooster]

The best thing to do to a Riviera is painted real nice Make the interior real nice put some nice wheels and tires on it then leave it the fuck alone and not do some horrid rear wheel well like this...the rear end is awful also..... This is the second most ugliest Riviera I've ever seen and ironically the other one was also done by a crew with a show that was on motor trend I'm talking about that outfit from watseka Illinois they totally butchered a Riviera also I wouldn't want to be associated with it either one of these cars if I was on the build crew

[@josephchintella9026]

Fit and finish is beyond pitiful

[@kenc3288]

What an impractical ridiculous ruination of a car. I bet it handles like a block of apartments. The owner has more money than sense. Rubbish.😡😡😡

[@jamesmcleodjr.7521]

Friggin’ guy annoys the CRAP outta me! I wouldn’t change a spark plug for that dude, nevermind do an entire custom car for him! 😒🤨

[@pigidly]

Building a lowrider… hey let’s go to a rice burner show for paint inspiration 🙄

[@johnkurczeski6851]

Hide-aways....

[@asiatic777]

Too long winded too me ...hell nah!

[@notbadsteve]

So you just rip off other people's content?

[@Bulliesof619]

Victor has nooooo taste. 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@awilliams5007]

Not your stuff. Stop posting someone elses stuff!

[@5150mdw]

Stolen content

[@BUDSBEAU]

is this Victor guy just filthy rich or what ? he acts like a spoiled rich kid who always gets what he wants and no one ever told him no !!!!!!!! i like the show but he gets on my nerves !!!!!!!

[@hswing11]

LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE SEEN IN.

[@davidlouis2354]

I would keep the original rear lights above the bumper and have the same again under the bumper so they look longer.
