Tom, wonderful explanation on how to replace the rear main seal. I replaced mine not long ago (with a seal I bought from you), but I recall removing the oil pump pick up tube as well. Is that correct, or am I remembering it wrong? Thanks. Seattle Rick

Hi - I purchased one of Tom Telesco's mini-starters for my 425 and am very happy with it. It's light weight and quite powerful.

Very helpful. Thank you.

Your panels look very nice. I'm considering the same purchase but didn't know they will need to be stained. Would you mind sharing what brand and color of stain you used? Also, did you use aerosol or brush on for the clear coat. Thanks.

That's funny.

You're not alone - I've the same thing myself.

I spoke with him day before yesterday and all seemed okay.

I forgot to add that vektro's '65 is a good looking car. I can't remember the last time I saw one in silver or one with door edge guards. Nice!

X2 on the Bilstein shocks. I have a '65 and like Vektro, I've installed the same GS springs, the Bilstein shocks, larger front sway bar, and Lares (sp?) steering box. Just received Tom Telesco's rear sway bar today but have yet to install it. Anyway, my Riv drives, rides, and handles so much better with the upgrades. Thinking back, I'd say the Bilsteins made the biggest improvement.

Thank you, Alex and Ed. I appreciate the offer of help but have decided to pass. Thanks again. Rick

Hi there - can anyone say for certain that the green mats will fit a '65 Riviera? Thanks. Rick

Hi there, I might be too late on this, but I have a 3:23 non-posi third member that came out of my '65 a couple of years ago. Worked fine and I only changed because I upgraded to 3:42. I see you're in Seattle and so am I. If you're interested, call me at 425-999-1302.
