Hope someone can help. I am looking for a NOS grille for my 1980 Riviera. If anyone know where I could find one, I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
Andrew

Does not have to be new, but I would like it to be in good to very good condition. The car is in process of restoration now, the finish on the original grille is excellent however it is damaged. I bought a replacement off ebay it is not damaged, however the finish is poor, and the shop that is doing the restoration says it is no good. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I did PM you several days ago, but have not heard back. The grille is silver (chrome). If you know of one available that would be great.
Thanks

Hi Dave,
I did PM you back several days ago. I am using Raleigh's Auto Body in West Bridgewater on route 106. He has done work for me and friends and family, quality work and the price has always been fair. My Riv is there now waiting for the process to begin. Still need a few more parts, but hopefully he will start it soon.

Just sent you a PM a few minutes ago regarding the grille, hopefully you received it. But if not the price is ok, as I spent more than that on the last one and I can't use it. It is too worn, weathered/faded, and the shop says they can't use it.
Thanks,
Andrew

Andrew,
That's for the info...at some point I have to get some body/paint work done on my '85 Riv. I had Columbia Buick Pontiac dealership's body shop in Hanover do body/paint work on my '92 Riv and they did a great job. But, its always good to look around. It's ironic in that I lived in West Bridgewater for 10 years about 15 years back (now in Weymouth)! Both of my sons graduated high school there.
