    Hey, so I've always loved the 1965 Buick Riviera's but I came across a garage find, a 1964 in super condition from original owners. I couldnt pass it up. So how do I convert the front grill/lights to a 1965 style with clam headlights?
    -Thanks

    gonna be a lot more complex than it looks like,,, wiring harness, under the dash, under the hood, grill change,,, parklights change, probably bumper change... light switch change....
    May be easier to change out the whole front clip.....:Do No: :Do No:

    As Doc says. Much more complicated than it may appear to be. An alternative would be an aftermarket tubular grille & the kits to install the headlights where the parking lights are now. No clamshells, motors, linkage & the mtraid of other obstacles you will run into.
    Just my nickels worth
