    Hey guys, I'm excited to be a part of this community. Picked up a 72 Riviera a while back that needs a little work but should be a fun project. I'm looking forward to the process and the learning that will come with it. I'll have a ton of questions on this project and a lot of the answers look like they have been/can be answered here.

    Nice! Looks like its all there and not abused. A little love and attention and that will be a nice road car and will pay you dividends in "fun"!! Welcome to V8Buick; you will get lots of help here.

    Thanks for the links. I'm saving up for a little rust repair and paint right now but I'll definitely be looking for center caps at some point.

    Thanks. Took quite a while to find a decent one. Lots of rust issues in this area.

    Thanks, I was in Hazen a while back looking at a couple boattails. They were beautiful cars but way out of my price range.

    Thank you. It took me a while to find one that didn't have the lower rear quarters rusted out but was still in my price range. Every one I found seemed to be a rust bucket or had been in a garage for 30+ years and more than I could afford.

    GM didn't design the boat tails very well 95% rotted out they were worse than the A body's
