Jason Thanks for you response. I saw an old post and Ed Raner told me gloss black. I have some rattle can one coat gloss black epoxy. When I stripped the air cleaner I couldnt tell if they primed it at the factory before painting or not? This paint I have says it doesn't require a primer. Didn't you restore a later year RIV and the story was in the Riview? Regards Glenn McMahon

I think I will just order a repro from Ebay. Thankyou.

Hi Ed What black semi gloss or gloss. Thanks Glenn McMahon

Hi Gents Was wondering if anyone had a list of the proper colours for all the stuff in the engine compartment. For eg. is the air cleaner assemble semi gloss black? I found a nice post Ed Raner did for the 63. Do the colours stay the same for 64? All responses appreciated. Glenn McMahon ROA#12929:confused:

I also read the same note Ed. Sorry but I dont know the answer. Anyone out there know? If so there are a lot of shop manuals with an error in them. Regards Glenn McMahon ROA 12929

I looked at CARS in NJ catalog and they show 63-64 as having 6 holes and the 65 as having 3 holes. I am really confused now? LOL as I said before the metal vents have 3 holes so I dont know why there are 6 large holes in the kick panels?

:confused: Hi Gents Have a few questions about the kick panels for my car as they were in the trunk and not installed when I got the car. 1- Mine have 6 holes in them. Are these correct for a 64? Checked Clarks and I believe they are. 2- The metal fresh air vents have 3 holes. Are these correct? 3- Why do the panels have 6 holes and the fresh air vents only 3? 4- Do the panels get covered in carpet or painted just the way they are? It seems like the extra holes in the kick panels will be visible? 5- Could someone please provide pictures of installed kick panels and installation on a 64. Thankyou Kindly for all Responses Glenn McMahon ROA #12929

Hi Ed Thanks for your reply. Its funny I had the same thoughts about using those bulldog clips as I call them. I will install the cardboard with them and see how it works until I come up with something else. I also thought of using those plastic christmas tree plug things on some of the pieces. You know the type that hold half the parts on a new car! The cardboard is very stiff as is. Does anyone know if it is best to slightly score the joints with a blade before trying to bend? Also has anyone tried to paint there cardboard? Regards Glenn ROA#12929

Kevin Only the little jet twists out I believe. The whole nozzle piece is held by a clip from underneath. Check shop manual it may show it or check other threads on same subject as I know there are lots of them. Regards Glenn PS Let me know if you find any spare clips for trunk cardboard or 64 glove box book.

Hi Gents, Anyone have an original extra owners manual for a 64 Riv? I know you can buy reproductions but an original would be nice. It is missing from my car. Regards Glenn McMahon

Thank you kindly Chuck for your pictures etc as they are most helpful. Now to find all these things. I believe I am also missing the flat bent metal piece that goes on the tire shelf. So other than the jack and its base and the lug wrench and a new set of trunk cardboard and the threaded hooked bolt I am missing everything else. I am looking. Thanks Glenn Mc Mahon

Hi Kevin I believe the little jets come out if thats what you mean. Regards Glenn

Pete thanks for your reply. How many clips constitute a full set for the trunk and are they all the same? I have the rod for the spare just not the wing nut. The spring hold down I know I could make the problem is I dont have an example of one to use as a template. Does anyone know of a drawing or thread that show where the clips go? I will try to send CTC a message to see what they have. The problem up here in Canada is there are few parts cars around as the winter and salt have sent them all to the crusher.

Hi All I have been away for some time and its full steam ahead now. I need to get my car ready for this summer to drive. I know this is an old question but does anyone have a set of the clips that hold the trunk cardboard in or know where I can try to get one? Also need the wingnut and jack hold down spring. I ordered a wingnut from CARS but they sent me the wrong size. To ship it back will probably cost more than it is worth. Any members with 63-65 cars in the Toronto GTA Ontario area please send me a PM. There our many questions I have that can be answered by examining an actual car. All help appreciated. Regards Glenn McMahon Toronto ON Canada

Hi Kevin Sorry for delay but have been out of country for some time. Time to step on the gas so I can get into my Riv this spring. I ended up buying a new nozzle from CARS in NJ. Regards Glenn

Hi JJ, Please send me a list. agmcmahonsal@yahoo.ca Regards, Glenn

Hi Ed, Have been busy up at cottage and just saw this. I will Email you tomorrow. Thanks, Glenn

Hi Ed, I have a 64 and need the front clear lenses that go behind the chrome pcs. Also need a reverse light passenger side I believe. Also wing nut for spare hold down in trunk. Also missing light in trunk and the spring to hold jack in place. Also the clips that hold the cardboard trunk pcs in place. Regards, Glenn

I wonder if it comes in different colors? Looks good though.

What a pleasure it would be to learn from a master like this! An absoulutely fantastic example of restoration work. Who would believe that car could be rebuilt. Regards, Glenn

Looking good Don. I wish I had your weather! Cheers, Glenn:D

Hi John, No luck as of yet. Have been busy lately and have to ramp up my parts search for my car before warm weather gets here. There were a few posts about guys parting out cars that I need to check. Let me know if you ever find a source for clips and I will do the same! Regards, Glenn

Hi John, Will try this and let you know results. Regards, GM

Let the journey begin my friend! Good Luck. Glenn:D
