    Lets face it folks, I ate in the tent as well and it was one step above Jack in the Box. Thats all you can expect for a meet this large. This was a once in a lifetime deal and lets not complain about the food. I would agree that it lacked the personality of a National but It was one of a kind!

    PLANO RESERVATIONS

    in Buick - General

    Posted

    I just called - got the recording ( 10 AM Texas Time)- they will call me back. That is fine when you are home all day and have nothing better to do then to wait for a phone call. I could leave the cell number but dont really want to get involved with dates and Credit Card Numbers while on the freeway. Perhaps there is a time when there is someone live to answer the phone.

    PLANO RESERVATIONS

    I just found out that if you want to make reservations for any of the Hotels listed in the Bugle for Plano 2004 you must use the following number - 1-800-81-PLANO . That would include the Harvey Hotel (host) , Holiday Inn,Best Western,LaQuinta Inn,The Ramada Limited and Motel 6 . The only problem is what time you call I guess. I just called and got a recording. Perhaps they work 9-5 - I will try tomorrow. The Hotels will not take the reservations. Good Luck

I hope to get a picture of the presentation and Sean is going to do an article on Doug. in an upcoming issue of the Review. Many thanks again - You have been and will continue to be Rewarded!

Its just going to take a little more help to get to the Thousand Dollar Mark. Beths email address is - 72boattail@cox.net Thanks a million for all your help. Dick Sweeney ROA # 146

    Correct tach location in a '63 Electra?

    in Buick - General

    I can only comment on the Riv. but the info might work on your car as well. In the back of the 64 Manual there is a line drawing of a Tach sitting on top of the dash under the rear view mirror and to the left side of the speaker edge between the speaker and the rear edge of the dash. I have mounted them there. I have also utilized the pre existing holes (in the metal framework under the dash pad) for the Guidematic - that works very well also. If the dash pad is original and brittle you run a big risk of splits when you cut the holes for the tach. Why have a Tach. - because they look COOL!

    65 RIV Heater Core R&R...HELP Wanted

    in Buick - General

    Posted

    You can go thru the car as posted or thru the firewall - If it is done right there is no problem going thru the fire wall and it is a lot easier. The advantage of doing it the factory way - inside - is that you get to check out other parts of the system, lube and such. The disadvantage is you run the risk of breaking parts.The advantage with going thru the firewall is that it is easier and more trouble free. If it is done right no one can tell it was done that way. It does involve cutting a little bit of the metal behind the heater cover but when you put the cover back on everything is covered.Your choice. I have done it both ways. Both works well - one is a little harder then the other - a lot depends on how your age. If you can bend around like a pretzel - the interior is not bad. Email me direct if I can be of further help. rivsrus1@cox.net
