Guest sintid58 Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 (edited) My son is helping a body shop paint this car because of all the rock chips in the lower half of the car. While removing the trim on the left front fender it was broken. If I cant get a new peice is there anyone that can repair it. Robert has it in his head he wants to leave all of the trim off and I don't want to end up with a modified car. Last winter we purchased this car as a winter project and he has a lot of time invested in it so would like it to be right when he is done. I plan on giving him a BCA membership for his birthday this year so hopefully we will gain a new young member.

Nuts.My car is in the process of paint, and when I go to place these back on the car, I am going to find barrel clips that I can just push the trim on in the middle.I have wondered why they chose to use trim nuts the whole length on the front fenders only.

Guest sintid58 Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 I didn't take it off myself, my son did it at the body shop because he is doing some of the work as a senior project. I will look at it when I get down there and let you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sintid58 Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Well I bid on the one on Ebay, it ended while I was at work Saturday and I couldn't watch it sell. I thought I had increased my bid to $150 but evidently not so it sold for $102. Now I am still looking for this, wish I could get in touch with the buyer from ebay and see if he needs the same piece I do. I would surely be willing to purchase what I need from him if ie didn't. So for now still looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sintid58 Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 They were the first place I tried. Got a window regulator for my 55 Special from them but no Riviera trim parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RivNut Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Don't know what else this guy might have, but it might be worth the phone call.1970 Buick RivieraI use the link below quite often when I'm scrounging for parts. It compiles all of the Craigslist, Ebay, and a couple of other forums to make one stop shopping available for what you're in need of.site mash : : combined classified and auction listingsIn the left colum, click on the Vehicle Parts, then you can type in what ever it is you're looking for. If you want, you can narrow your search by region. Thre's a "sticky" for this link on the Buick Buy/Sell forum.Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTX-SLPR Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 I remember the fustration with finding that the trim on my 70 Riv was all bolted on and near impossible to get to the nuts without taking the fenders off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sintid58 Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Got it from the CTC Auto ranch, not cheap but called Monday and it beat me home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sintid58 Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 (edited) "Curious as to how your front fender trim was held on"Sweepspear, I know the drivers side trim was held on with bolts and nuts but according to my son everything else including the front fender trim on the passenger side was held on with clips in the middle and nuts on the ends. I hope he is right otherwise he broke off all the studs on the passenger side. The car has been put on hold for awhile because the body shop that was helping him work on it is backed up because of the bad roads and weather we have had here. I hope to get down to look at the car in the next week or two. Edited March 13, 2010 by sintid58 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
