  1. Took it out for about 300 miles this weekend on nothing but backroads, stopping at all the little cool bars, restaurants, and other cool areas. No interstate weekend
  2. I love my Supremes on my Caddy.....Great choice for a big cruiser.
  3. Absolutely beautiful. Did he do anything to the hood? He's the only other one I've seen running the batwing aircleaner, and getting mine to fit was a lot of trial, error, and customizing to get it to fit without cutting the hood.....
  4. The Mach 1 is a '72......I message you a couple pics of it so I don't clutter up this thread with non-Riv photos.
  5. Been busy and not on the board much lately. Here's just a couple of mine chilling in the garage while I worked on the Mach 1 yesterday.
  6. Washington still has a few. Was in one in Spokane last month while the drug dealers were sampling their products in the parking lot....Not a joke, sadly.
  7. I believe the vacuum canister should not have the dent being an early production model. Mine is smooth......Look at me, talking originality!
  8. If you're talking about the marker lamps under the bumper, my car has them on it. I've got the 65 grill without having the clamshell headlights, I have headlights retrofitted into my original front side markers. I didn't do the lower lamp swap myself, the car was in the process of the conversion when I bought it, and I finished it, but it looks factory. I don't have any pics with just the markers on, but I can take some detail ones tonight or tomorrow if you need or want. Lucas
  9. Tom Telesco (telriv on here) knows them in and out. I'd pm him if I wasn't going to rebuild it myself
  10. Well I WAS driving mine to work this morning......then I ran out gas....
  11. Mine is a Centennial watch from 2003. My buddy found it on Ebay for me because they're not still produced, obviously. I think you can find them fairly easily
  12. That's the bell housing. It houses the flywheel and torque converter and connects the trans to the engine.
  13. In the "overview" section of the radiators that I posted, it tells you what the tube size is. The Champions are fully welded and brazed. No glue or epoxy.
  14. Took the Riv out to Hamilton, MT for the air/car show....man, those pilots are NUTS! Did a little more driving, probably going to put it away and drive my Caddy for the foreseeable little bit. Over 90 degrees here and black paint and no A/C make it kind of unbearable......
  15. Not a 1 1/4" to my knowledge. The next step up from Champion is 3 rows of 5/8". They're rated for 1000 hp they say, but you and I know that there's more to it than tube size, rows, and cores...... All I know is mine works for what I've got and that's all that matters to me. And it looks good.
  16. Just 1". Wish it was bigger tubes, but idled for over an hour yesterday and never boiled over in 90 degree heat basically not moving getting into the air/car show after driving 50 miles to Hamilton. It and the 6 blade flex fan are doing a good job this summer.
  17. If you don't mind it not being stock, I run one of these HD 2 cores in my car. It fit great other than the stock cooler lines I had to adapt, but other than that, super happy with it. http://www.jegs.com/c/Cooling-AC-Heating_Radiators/10123/10002/-1?N=1010597&Ns=P_PrimarySecondary|0||P_SalesVolume|1&Tab=SKU&make=4294829225&model=4294829199&year=4294829683&storeId=10001&catalogId=10002&langId=-1 Here it is in my engine compartment......
  18. Thought this was a cool color combination....looks like a nice car, and the guy sounds like he knows what he's talking about. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1964-Buick-Riviera-/272731068651?hash=item3f8009d8eb:g:l14AAOSwXY5ZTD7o&vxp=mtr
  19. Agreed PWB. I like the natural flow of conversation, like sitting around with your buddies having a beer and the topic goes off in left field naturally. When I'm talking with people in real life, we don't end a conversation, stop, pause, then reset on a different topic. It stays flowing. And we're not all going to get along all the time. It's fun.
  20. For the original poster.....I've heard nothing but good about Scarebird or the OPGI kits. I've heard great things about the Australian Mako kits, too.
  21. I didn't mean to get into a pissing match Just different strokes for different folks.....I've actually got Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetrics off a new Corvette on my Riviera. I run the shop at a Chevrolet/Cadillac dealership and I get take offs from work for basically free. Corvette guys are a weird bunch of ducks and want what they want, so I'll end up with $1800 worth of tires for nothing because the want Pirelli P Zeros or whatever else. The Riv will still lock them up. Once. Then the tires have more grip then the brakes. But still impressive for drums.
  22. Yes, I love those gauges too. I'm in the same boat, but I'd like to put them in my Mustang. The prices are pretty out there, though, as you said....Too many more "important" things to do haha
  23. Nothing super rare, but my Riv key fob and Buick watch my buddy got me for Christmas (I'm a massive watch freak).
