  1. Yes I would consider but haven't been able to find who makes them with my searches online.Where did you get yours. Thanks for the reply.
  2. Thanks for the info Brian,I hadn't thought of the other vehicles that may have the same armrests.
  3. Hello, I am looking to buy 1971-73 Riviera lower deluxe armrest door panels preferably in sandalwood but will consider other colors.I am looking for panels with no cracks and good pressed cardboard backing. Thanks in advance, Brian
  4. Buick Riviera. Haven't posted in forever and don't know what I'm doing! Thanks!
  5. Hello, I am looking to buy both driver and passenger side lower door armrest panels for deluxe interior that aren't cracked and pressed cardboard backing in good condition.My car has the electric windows and power seat switches in the front of the armrest.Ideally looking for sandalwood but will consider other colors. Thanks in advance, Brian
  6. I used the same paint for the trim pieces that you are talking about.Just tape it off and mist on light coats.It does not cover very well at first so refrain from laying it on too thick.Nice thing is that it dries quickly, 10 minutes or so before I re-coat.Once paint has dried for an hour or two ,then pull the tape.I don't like leaving tape on too long.I purchase SEM from my local Car Quest auto parts store and I think NAPA carries it as well.If you can't find those stores in your area try to find an auto parts store that sells auto body paints and supplies.
  7. This is SEM trim black.I also use this on the interior trim.It goes on thinner than Rustoleum and will require few light coats.It doesn't have that thick look that Rustoleum has.That being said, I love Rustoleum satin black for just about everything else. It is great for chassis and under hood and holds up for years. You also can't beat the price and how easy touch up is.
  8. Guys, I am working on a linear actuator set-up as we speak.Also the linkage arms and bell cranks. It takes time, research along with a lot of trial and error and testing.Trying to keep it easy to install and reliable.I will keep you updated.
  9. I don't know of replacements but they are for mounting the a/c condenser. The condenser bolts to the upper radiator crossmember with rubber isolators and has a tab on each side at the bottom that fits between the bolted rubber isolator that you have circled.
  10. Thank you Ed.I know that took quite a bit of time.Much appreciated. Brian

    Door Panel

    The one in the picture is a passenger side with power window switch hole and the upper hole is for the power vent option.
  13. The cap has to come off.You then need to pull outward to get side bracket (with hole) to clear the post that had the cap on it.The other side has the pin on the bracket that inserts into the seat frame.
  14. Hello Whitewatersky, The pedal has been pushed onto two ball studs at the bottom.You need to pull off.This is sometimes difficult if the rubber pedal has hardened.
  15. I received the horn bar from Rick and it looks great! Also thanks to Patrick for the beautiful Super Wildcat air cleaner decal.Thanks again. Brian
  16. I would put them in before the glass is installed. Just be careful when installing glass. Sometimes when there has been a metal repair the studs are gone and you will have to use screws and screw them in. Can't do that if glass is already installed. There are also replacement pins that have a phillips head and screw in only leaving the stud.
  17. Hydro-e-lectric has replacement gears for these for $59.00 if that is the problem, most of the time it is. Gear is made of pot metal.If the motor is shot there is one on Ebay right now.
  18. The rubber that covers the filler neck is masticated rubber like the dust covers that cover the a-arms in your engine compartment.That can be purchased from Steele Rubber in different sizes and can be cut to fit.The other item for the a/c muffler is like a foam rubber.Try Restoration Specialties,they might have it.Not sure if they have it but is a good place to start.Good luck.
  19. I applaud you for all the hard work,research and diligence to see it through to the end resulting in a beautiful part. I too have looked into short runs of these specialized Buick parts that larger vendors will not make. They don't make them because the market is so small compared to say a Camaro or Chevelle. They figure that with time to research and develop that the price will not be marketable. So that leaves us where we are. We can find them used,NOS or take a chance and make them but price will be higher than comparable Camaro and Chevelle items. I will support guys like you.I want a horn bar! Brian
  20. Rich, My # is 216 406-3770. Give me a call. Brian
  21. Hello Rich, I have one and I am just a couple of minutes from you. Brian
  22. I just pulled a dash out of a 64 and the speaker was not a 6'' x 9''. It was narrower than that.Make sure you take a measurement.
