    Wayne,
    It should have those rubber pieces on each end of the bumper.
    I saw those on ebay also.
    Tail light lenses are not reproduced, but they do pop up on ebay now and then.

    boostedsix,
    I really like the silver on your car, wish mine didn't have the brown top and tan interior. It kind of limits my options for paint color.

    I am currently getting my 70 Rivi ready to paint. I had to take the front fenders off, like Dale suggested in a earlier post, in orser to remove the stainless stell spear from the fenders. The AC hose does in fact attach to the passenger side wheel well by a C-shaped bracket that wraps around the foam peice protecting the AC hose. I will try to take a picture of the bracket and the wheel well it is attached to. My car is also a survivor with approximately 63,000 miles. The interior is almost pristine, but the paint is pretty bad. Th only serious rust I ahve found is on the passenger side fender where it attaches to the undercarriage. My body shop guy says he can repair it to look like new, but I would rather replace it with another fender with no rust. However, they are hard to come by. If you know of any available fenders, let me know. Attached is a picture of the car when I purchased it a few months ago and a picture of how I want it to look when Iam finished with it.

    Well, I am unable to attach photos. I just wanted to copy the photos from my computer to the post, but cannot figure out how to do it. I do not want to have to open a photobucket or some other bucket to post photos. Damn computers.

    Since the engine area is cleaned up, I need to install new air cleaner stickers and radiator support stickers. It looks like there might have been one on the front of the passenger side valve cover also. The only one still on it was the top of the air breather; 455-4. What stickers do I need, their placement and where would I buy them? And are there any pictures of an original 70 Riviera engine bay?

    Thanks, Wayne

    I got several decals for under the hood to go on the air breather and radiator support and AC. If anyone has good pictures of where they are located and what's printed on the decals and stickers that would help a lot. I can see where one was on the side of the air breather and a couple on the radiator support but I don't know for sure which they are. They are the evaporator control, cooling system, antifreeze decal and AC evaporator box. I want to put the correct ones in the correct locations.

    Thanks, Wayne

    I think these look great with the full skirts.The only year for the skirts. Has that old style customized look-right from the factory. The '70 Riviera is a very unique car.

    We love the Rallies and will keep them but we want to get some larger aftermarket wheels to use for shows etc. Anyone know of a suitable wheel size, width and offset?
    We had in mind 17 X 8 with 255 45 17s.
    Suggestions?

    That is a very nice 70 you have in New Zealand. Have you restored it under the hood? If you have I'd love to see a picture if you have any. Wayne
