Anyone see any problems with cutting away the two thin spokes? I'm thinking the main bottom spoke is probably strong enough to hold the wheel from...
It's a tilt column, I wish it had telescope too. I found some pics of a 68 Skylark wheel hub, I'll try to compare to the Riv wheel and see if the...
Anyone know what steering wheels interchange on 64 Riviera's? Long story short, I'd like to get a 67-68 Skylark steering wheel, cut the two thin...
Really appreciate the info guys, thanks to all of you so much. Had my fingers crossed, glad for good news. Been about 20yrs since i've done...
What do you think about the condition of my 64 Riviera 425 cam shaft? Do the lobes look ok? Bought the car from the owner's son, he thought the...
I think I understand more now. When I was upgrading wiring in my 64 Riviera, I was looking at the "best practices" for each system, not the whole...
https://www.w8ji.com/negative_lead_to_battery.htm So I happened upon this website linked above. They're saying it's a very bad idea to ground to...
Do you have a build log anywhere? Is the frontend made out of metal?
Anyone tapped a hole on the oil filter adapter before? Is it aluminum and not some pot metal? Should I tap it for a larger adapter instead of...
PO was building an old school lowrider with my riviera. 2" off the motor, going to 20" cherry bombs, then into 1 1/2" pipe to the bumper. It raps...
The rear main seal leaks, i'll have to deal with it at some point. Maybe I can get a bung welded in then. I've noticed on the vette that the oil...
Not needed, just wanted. One of those things that if I can make it happen, i'd like to. I have one on a OT corvette, I like it to keep tabs on the...
That's what I was afraid of. I don't have a welder or a means to lift the engine up to get the pan out. How do you feel about something like a...
Engine is a Buick 425 nailhead in a 64 Riviera. I bought some Speedhut gauges, and one is a oil temp gauge. Where can I put the oil temp sender?...
This looks interesting, i'm going to pursue this and see what I get. I appreciate all the info everyone, thanks!
Thanks for the tips and info. I don't have access to a welder, but I do have a high temp soldering gun (I think 475F) and some silver solder. It...
The car is my 64 Riviera. Has anyone ever tapped the tank to accept a fuel pickup tube? I bought a Tanks Inc "floatless sender", and my dumb ass...
Jesus christ, you are precious. So all those amazing tribute hotrods and customs made of cars that no longer exist are fake ass posers too? Your...
I noticed that almost everything is AN. I'm using stainless steel lines, with double 45 degree flare. Turns out I couldn't find a female banjo...
I saw banjo fittings, and it never occurred to me... just thought for calipers. I've found a female banjo fitting that will work. Thanks gentlemen!
I'm changing my 64 Riviera to a dual master cylinder. I bought a 67 Buick dual MC, and 65 Chevy distribution (junction) block. I need to find a 90...
Really enjoyed this, one of my favorite cars. Thanks for documenting the build so well. Absolutely incredible.
I'm redoing the brake lines on my 64 Riviera, and I want to convert to a dual chamber master cylinder. Currently have stock drum brakes. I...
Quarter scale would be mind blowing. This inspires me more than anything to learn 3d modeling, to draw this out in 3d. It would take years, but...
Man, I need to win the lottery. They need to specify that it's a non-runner though. Although, if you were in a position to drop $100k on a car,...
What's the round snout on the Potvin piece? Pop-off valve? Never seen a Potvin on a Hemi, got more pics? Do you have more pics of the Howard chain...
Was it a bolt in? The 500 is a awesome engine, i've been a fan of them for years.
I used one on a SBF, it lowered temps around 15 degrees if I remember correctly. I bought one for my 64 Riv, but it's not on the road yet. Very...
anyone have more pics of that latham nailhead?
Definitely photoshopped. Contrast is way off on the bumper, and it was from a pic taken at more of a angle. Also, you don't see the rear fins in...
