1966 Buick Riviera GS. Rat Rod, for the road. I took care not to disturb the ORIGINAL patina. I have gone all over this car except the exterior body and paint. Started with, complete engine rebuild. Block and heads cooked, bored .030 over pistons, rings, cam, lifters, rod, and main bearings @ Standard. TA Performance Cam, lifters and springs, (see spec. sheet) Timing set, valve job, etc.. Stripped engine bay, sand blasted, painted, redid heater/ac box, new core etc. Reconditioned or replaced, engine, and engine bay components, New copper radiator, all hoses, water pump, fuel pump, Holley 600 CFM carburetor. New mufflers, with remote controlled electric cutouts. Serviced transmission, new master, and wheel cylinders, hoses, custom made copper alloy brake, fuel, and trans. lines, wheel bearings. Serviced air conditioning system, new dryer etc., rust treated underside with Ospho, and painted. New headliner, reworked all windows, new door and trunk seals. Reconditioned headlight retracting system, wiper motor, and linkage etc.Everything works except radio. In other words the car was completely gone over except paint, and is on the road and runs great. Needs carpet, Tires are old school wide whites that should be replaced to go fast.I'm retired and this has been my hobby, I'm going to post more, one at a time.
