To All , My position on the parking issue is of no concern . My job as a Board Member is to represent the Club as a whole . What the majority of the Members want is what I will back . This is just one of the reasons why the survey was done . One Member -One Vote - Everyone pays their Dues . I hope that ALL Members will respect what the majority wishes to do . It would be very easy for me to be a YES/NO man to make some folks happy but that is just NOT my style . Honesty is a true virtue ! See you in Portland !

This is the one I took pictures of - not sure what year that was - 2009?[ATTACH=CONFIG]240475[/ATTACH]
Any Rivs at the Show this year ?

Can someone tell me how to remove the chrome push buttons on my radio - They are pitted bad and I have replacements but dont know how to remove / install them . Thanks , Dick
-
Ed,
I'd be interested in that radio, just curious never actually seeing a 63' wonderbar, is it AM only? -Dave
Wonderbar was am only .
-
I'm scheduled to judge a class at the LJMC, but most likely one on the street, outside the fence. But it would be great to see your current '65 there. BTW, do you know anyone locally who you'd recommend to rebuild an alternator (for my '63)?
I would just get a rebuilt at NAPA or ? If you do be sure it has the right pulley on it - you may need to use yours .
-
I sold the car on the video about 6 years ago . I was asked to bring my Bambo Cream 65 GS to that show this coming - dont know if I will or not ? Glad you enjoyed the show .
-
Hope you enjoyed the show !
-
This has been around before but kind of fun for the new 63 -65 Riv owners to hear .
Sound on , click on the link , click on slide show upper right .

Morning Jeff , Glad to see you here in the chat room . Thanks for all you do ! Hope to see you in Colorado .

If you are not a purist and want something that looks better then factory , cover the plastic with matching vinyl . Should have been that way from the factory .
-
Bottom line in my opinion , if you have a green engine and no reason to pull it out - I would leave it . If on the other hand the engine needs to come out - I would paint it silver .
-
Everyone is correct and it may have been painted green however , without a way to prove it - the color called for is silver when it comes to Judged meets and resale to a purist . It all depends on what you are after .

From my contact -
Check out the show:
Www.comediansincarsgettingcoffee.com
The car would be used like each episode. Jerry and I would be the only people to ever drive the car.
We used a 1M lambo Muira for an episode with Chris Rock.
We've done over 20 episodes so far and treat the cars with respect.
Please watch a couple of episodes

You may need to get the whole radiator just to get the tank ? Check with Larry Daisey at RIVIERA60S@aol.com

The letters on the block - passenger side on the flat surface in front of the valley pan , shoud start with J if its a 63 engine . On the other side of the same surface will be numbers and the last few will be the last few of the VIN number if its original . Who knows how or why it was painted green back in the day .

If there is anyone that would like to have their Riv in the lime-lite - there is a gig in Las Vegas .
If you live in the Vagas area -"Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee” is looking for a first generation
Riv in the show ." Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee” staring Jerry Seinfeld wants to feature the Riv. Pay is not great but may be worth your time and it would be great to see your car on the show . email me questions if you are interested . rivsrus1@cox.net

Looking for complete Reverb for 66 New Yorker . rivsrus1@cox.net

Heat is the early Rivs worst enemy . First think you need to know is if you really have a problem . Install a mechanical gage somewhere . I put mine in the clock . You can leave the original sending unit (light) and install the mechanical sending unit in the rear of the drivers side head - same location , plug , as the original but on the opposite side and in the rear . It may indicate a little higher temp there but safe . It is common for the original light to come on early so you really need to know what the temp is . The fan shroud is a good idea also - for cooling and safety .
