    Thanks. I was actually a bodyman/painter by trade once upon a time. Do some restoring on the side in my garage these days. I'm so old I started out painting lacquer ha ha. Gulfstream Blue is a beautiful color but I have many mechanical issues to straighten out. The burgundy metallic stays for the foreseeable future.

    Hi Frank,
    Welcome from New Zealand. Your car looks great! I am in the finishing up stages on a restoration of a 67 GS400 4 speed with A/C.

    Hey Steve. Liked your Riv as well. So you know, I replaced the master cylinder like we talked about. Bench bled it and all, and there is definitely a difference. Also adjusted the rear drums somewhat. I am still not happy. Brakes stop great. But I feel that there is still a little too much travel. Wondering about the brake pedal push rod. Wondering if there's a difference between a stock drum brake rod and a disc brake rod. Maybe the disc brake rod is a little longer?
