I used the kit from Cars, Inc. in Neshanic Station, New Jersey on my 65 Riv and they turned out really well. When you are finished you will never want to look at another hog ring again, four buckets...
The fun for me is letting the hammer down on a 40 year old Nailhead and watching the gas gage and the speedo race in opposing directions. When
you get to the next light some yuppie wants to know...
Just another days work in D.C.. Hey Tom I just noticed that the "Reflection Picture" is yours. Very cool shot, sutle and tasteful. I am going to try and
duplicate your idea but I won't post it out...
Tom,
They get the parts from our government. The brains in D.C. decided after the Bay of Pigs fiasco this was a viable option. The plan is to keep them in those old cars so that they will punch...
Tom,
They must have forgotten because something over there sure stinks and I don't think it's the sand. I just saw an article where they finished building their own indoor ski slope. They can now...
Mark,
Craig Jackson isn't making enough money so now if you try and put that sign in your car you are given three choices by the guys driving around in golf carts. You can remove the sign, remove...
Just filled the "Riv" up yesterday here in Norfolk, Va. for $2.51 a gallon for 93 octane, Amoco white. I guess that should feed a hungry family of "Sheetheads" for a week.
Hey Tom,
I think we are seing the same thing happening to our hobby that happened to the housing market. Many of these guys aren't "Gearheads" in the classic sense, they are just investors...
Tom,
Yes it was called AMOCO (American Oil Company), they were bought by BP
(British Petroleum), sad sign of the times. It burns very clean but it never had the lead wich served as a top...
I remember seeing the quote years ago in a "Hemmings" but now I can't find any documentation and I believe it was a 65 Riviera. Any documentation
would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Does anyone know what Buick and what year used the advertizing phrase,
"An iron fist in a velvet glove"?
Those are relay switches. I found them in a place called Clarks Corvair parts.
You can get a catalog for 63-65 Riviera parts from them on the internet and
they will be for a Riv and not a Corvair. ...
It's going for about $1.95 here in Norfolk, Virginia.
Forces me to be more selective about the days I take
the Riv out of the garage. $1.95 is for regular 83 octane
which I wouldn't put in my...
I have purchased seat covers, window rubber and relay switch from them for my 65 Riv have have no complaints other than his parts are very limited.
"Rancho Riveria" has a cool operation but I found...
I am having the same problem with my 65 Riv and I am afraid it is the same problem that I just resolved last summer with my Vette. The printed circiut on the back of the dash was delaminating. It...
Does anyone out there know if the headlight visor relay switches for a 1965 Riviera are suppose to be identical. Mine has a 3 prong with 1 seperate prong on one of the switches and the other has just...
