Re: 1971 Buick Boattail Riviera

I found an alternative gas tank. The same year buick centurion tank is the same size and dimensions, uses the same sending unit, but has the filler tube in the middle rear where the riviera has it on the driver side corner. So I will need to graft my filler tube onto the new tank which should be delivered tomorrow.

LockDoc made me new keys for my trunk. When I took the lock out the studs broke off from the emblem that covers the lock and holds the cylinder. I've got one of those super solders that melts at 350f so I tried it on this and it seems to be holding. The lock I bought that didn't fit the riviera came in handy anyway. I put in for a refund and got it without having to send the part back. My kid busted his trunk key off in his lock on his 75 monte carlo. This lock fit his car. Bonus!
