frenchy51 Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 It's been about 2 years but I can finally see light at the end of the tunnel! All done with body work and paint and have her running well. Doing the fun stuff now-Bolting on the Bling! Thanks to all forum members for their help. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frenchy51 Posted May 31, 2020 Author Share Posted May 31, 2020 Thanks Turbinator! You've been great help with the project along with other forum members. It's almost done-waiting on seats to get recovered and I need to cure an overheating problem......New aluminum radiator, water pump, thermostat, and flushed the system well but boils over after a few mile test drive....I've checked thermostat-It's opening. The car had sat quite awhile before I bought it so maybe block is really dirty (rusty) inside? I thought I had it flushed well but I'm going to try some " Thermocure"by Evapo-Rust in the next few days. Don't want to have to pull the engine at this point. Thought it was fine...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockinRiviDad Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 I have heard that trapped air in the cooling system can cause overheating issues. Maybe your problem is that simple? good luck & SWEET ride 👍🏼 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the last couple of years, every light I've seen at the end of the tunnel has turned out to be the headlight of an oncoming freight train.

RivNut Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Maybe we're all into this Riviera restoration gig because we're all masochistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You all do know the difference between a sadist and masochist, right? A sadist says "Hurt me, hurt me". And a masochist says "Nooo, I don't think I am."
