  1. Thanks Bob, I agree. They are beautiful cars. We get a lot of compliments on the color.
  2. Beautiful day here in southwest Ohio. Drove the Riv all day
  3. Thanks Alex and John, I’m happy with how the dash turned out. I like Ed’s chrome paint pen idea.
  4. Alex, i found it about impossible to get a good result in the car due to the raised edge around it. When I did the interior I used good old testers silver model paint and a brush when it was apart. Good luck though.
  5. Fantastic, would love to follow a build thread on your car. Brian
  6. Roberta emailed the contact information on the 65 1/4 if interested
  7. Roberta, @BUICK RACER has a post here about a NOS 65 right 1/4. Might still be available?
  8. A first gen is the ultimate Riviera 😁😁😁😁 just kidding, I’d like one of those myself.. good luck with the search
  9. Welcome and congrats, I second the factory service manuals. Also join the ROA.
  10. remember to mark the location of the flange to the rear end and put it back in the same location.
  11. I bought a cracked up wheel from Steve Lorenzen and had my friend Paul do his thing with it. My perfect original hangs out in the basement safe and sound. Paul does these all by hand and is quite the craftsman
  12. You got it. Your in the right place here. Join the ROA and get the service manuals if you don’t have them already.
  13. Ahh that’s a bummer, maybe it could be saved but not sure, I believe they are pot metal. Gene at ab&g, and Steve Lorenzen usually have some when your ready. That going to be a really neat car.
  14. Your on your way now for sure. Be careful with that intact horn bar, fragile and very hard to find a good original 👍👍 Keep posting your progress Brian
  15. Welcome Dave, looking forward to following along.
