64 Riv is my fav Buick. nice job

[@user-up6qc9hh8n]

You made it look so easy .I wanna try it on my Rivera

[@timelesssteelgarage]

It is easy!!!! Do it. Unbelievable difference. On some car's it doesn't make that much of a difference . On this car, it definitely did. Front disk and factory rear drums rebuilt is plenty of brakes for this cruiser. Subscribe!

You do great work!

[@timelesssteelgarage]

awesome thank you ! subscribe plz!

[@bradhoward9055]

Looks like a nice kit and a good job of installation. Looking forward to your next step.

[@timelesssteelgarage]

Thanks! I'll be starting the sniper today.

Damn thats a beauty………i think some 17”/18” wheels would do it major justice!!!

Thanks, subscribe !

[@alishagrace]

Beautiful car! I always wondered how drums were switched over to disc. Good to know!

[@ronnieboucherthecrystalcraftsm]

disc brakes with high pressure brake lines 40% increase easy ! even better on twistie hills and down hill !

[@timelesssteelgarage]

It was a huge improvement on this car.

[@itseithergonnaworkoritaint7852]

Those Buick aluminum drum brakes work just as good as a front disc rear drum setup. If you added Muscle Car Brakes ceramic brake shoes you would have even better stopping than the disc/drum setup. I'll post a Iink for the site on my community page if you're interested for future reference for your other car. Yt likes to disappear comments with Iinks or I would of put it here for you.

[@timelesssteelgarage]

I agree. Don't really expect much better stopping power . Just upgraded for simplicity. Yeah send it !

[@itseithergonnaworkoritaint7852]

@@timelesssteelgarage Send the Iink? I posted on my channel community page, yt doesn't allow Iinks in the comments.👍

[@timelesssteelgarage]

Ah Ok I found it thanks !

[@ClarkWendt]

Looks like a nice setup. Did you order the kit directly from Willwood? You have more restraint than I do…I would have the whole brake system torn apart and scrambling to get it done on time!! 🥴

[@timelesssteelgarage]

No I got it from summit.

I’ve got a 68. I bought a conversion kit from POL and I found out I need to do some modifications to brackets. Any advice or recommendations?

[@timelesssteelgarage]

Not Familiar with the brackets or that kit. Probably just minor clearance. At the end of the day the caliper just needs to be centered on the disc and all hardware needs to have clearance from the disc...Buy yourself a pack of shims and basic tools, grinder wheels drill etc you should be good... Sorry not more helpful but I am not familiar with the POL kit.

[@glifikskils3792]

Where do you buy your parts at like track bar and bushing or anything as far as parts? I have 64 rivi to...dope video!!

Thanks reach out to Matt at nailheadbuick.com aka centerville auto. I have had great experiences with them. And subscribe !

[@0922jus]

how did those brakes do you. about to do the same on my 65

[@timelesssteelgarage]

Phenomenal. Whole different car. Stops like it weighs 1000lbs less. Stops straight every time. Consistent brakes.

[@jus1975]

has anyone found a disc kit for the rear

[@timelesssteelgarage]

I haven't bothered looking but honestly it stops great as a cruiser with front disc rear drum.

[@davidvonanderseck8649]

Want to hear it run

[@timelesssteelgarage]

check out my other videos and shorts to hear it run.

[@davidvonanderseck8649]

@@timelesssteelgarage I saw that, I heard it run in video when you bought it But I don't see a video after the nee carb

[@timelesssteelgarage]

@davidvonanderseck8649 go to my shorts videos. Title you can keep the Sniper I'll keep the Carb. It's like 3 shorts ago.

[@timelesssteelgarage]
