Stacey gets down to business on the Big Bad Buick. With the top end engine rebuilt, the exterior and interior of the car need some serious updating. You don’t have to spend a ton of cash on simple modifications. Stacey shows what’s behind making a good clean line with your bumpers and how a simple front and rear bumper tuck can drastically change the appearance. Replacing the grille and scraping off that old vinyl top are also sure-fire ways to add attitude to this big ol’ boat tail. That old carpet has got to go! Follow along as Stacey shows the ins and outs and some tips and tricks to keep your exterior and interior redo from breaking the bank.

Thankyou for tackling a boat tail Riviera. They have always been my favorite car. Always loved the old buicks. I currently have a 63 Riviera that I will soon be starting

My old neighbor Kevin Green actually has an early 1970's Buick in his garage, and I really want to buy it.

I really love the floor mats and I've always liked the '70s full sized cars cause they were massive enough to strike fear and respect from others on the road and if you're hit, you will be glad that you are in a heavy metal vehicle

I used to be a fan of this show but now it is a long commercial for sales purposes with an old car thrown in for fun that you have to watch continuously to hope you see finished.

Wow the intro really brought a team to my eye, me and the boomer crew listening to the wing dinga, we truely were the best generation. Enough of the trip down memory land, I gotta get my diaper changed.

The Riviera is a great choice. But those bumpers don't need to be tucked at all. They're perfect as they are. That would be ridiculous to shove them right up against the body and ruin the proportions.

@davidmandziuk8493 4 жыл бұрын

Think that Riv looks better with a Vinyl top. It isn't a sports car, it's a cruiser. Would leave the bumpers alone. You get hit, or tap it, nowhere for it to move, 'cept right into that sheet metal.

I always thought that "restomod" meant "restoration" and "modernization"-since most cars called such aren't concerned with being original but updating various parts of the car to make it drive and perform better.

I hate vinyl tops also because my brother and I had a '74 Catalina with a vinyl roof and people like to take a knife 🔪 to it and they are harder to keep clean

16:14 This radiator doesn't look that bad. I made rebuild some radiators that looked worse thant this, for I don't know 120 € maybe. Depends if you want that original look or not, and I find that coper core fins are harder to bend and be damaged.

72 is cool but the 71 is cooler and the 71 GS IS THE COOLEST OF ALL !!!

I had a 1971 Riviera (Non-GS) special ordered with NO Vinyl roof and NO side moulding. It also had 4-5 horns that were harmonized to sound like a train ...
