  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    My '63 Riviera was kind of a Pro-Touring type build. Just never got around to proper brakes/sway bars before I sold it.

    one good thing ive learned is the upper arms are the same on 71-96 b bodies. Which also means it is the same as a 73-77 a body. Now the thing I havent found out a 100% if the those are the same as 2nd gen f body but ive seen alot of info saying they are. So thats a cheaper option for a upper that def improves the curves. Still havent found a lower. Im thinking the c10 lower is the same but ive not had one to compare yet. I really need one of those manuals to cross reference oem parts so i can get a cheaper option than the 1400 dollar global west arms. Rear i have figured out. Now this is for the 71-76 cars. I have no idea on earlier ones since ive not worked on one in a long time.

    Here's my Pro Touring, or rather Poor Touring Riviera. But i feel it's more pro touring than classic now with all that delrin, uniballs, heavy springs, billsteins and 315's in the rear and 295's upfront.
    I have a thread with mostly pics from the build in Boatload of fun section, i am behind with adding pics there but still there is some.
    Please enjoy, like and subscribe.
