That looks good to me. I like your moving the side character line up to align with the bumpers. Adding the front fender lights to the extended lower rear accentuates the Riviera shape and kind of gives it a '51 Merc coolness. Thanks for not chopping the top — the stock height roof doesn't need to be lower, IMO. That color is perfect.

Very cool mods. The thing that makes the biggest difference to me is the reworked shape of the rear wheel opening.
Oh by the way, great color choice. That will really make all the chrome bits pop out

Looking at the headlight covers stuck to the rear end in the early photos looked awful and I couldn't figure out where you were going, but then when you showed the body finished with the covers molded in I saw your vision come to life. Beautiful work. Curious to see the rear bumper in place. In the mock-up stage it looked somewhat unsettled, but I'm sure you'll pull it off.

Those Rivs are a hard car to customise, the design is almost perfect as is.
Looks like you have it handles though. I especially like the rear bumper and wheel wells matching the front.
If we had seen this sooner I would have recommended using the custom clear rear lights from the '65 Lincoln. Same basic design as the Riv's front parts with similar horizontal bar detail but about 1/2 the width.
