i buy them by the pound have a TSC not far from the shop .i do not wast time cleaning up old bolts less a old oem restore deal .i use the 8s they have a neat gold dip coating .looks good on a new engine build and use them around on the shop . but were i stop.. i will not use there bulk bolts is were you going to bet you life on them. there trace ability is qustionable at best. i have seen them fail before they reach TQ for the grade fastener they are . i buy bolt that have trace ability and class fastener for any thing that going to hold parts on that you do not want to fall off like a lower controle arm

It's been a while since I got to put some time in on this one; I spent a few hours wet sanding the front clip and had to rebuild one of the hood hinge mounting edges. Feels good to see a little progress again.

Yeah, last week I did a major garage cleanout, mass throw away, and sold a truckload of parts. I havent had this much room in several years. With the 51 done for the year and space to work I hope to make some serious progress on this one. Got the other side of the hood done today.

Been working on the hood several nights this past week; finally got it to where I could put some etching primer on it. I'll do the other side in a day or so.Last edited by falconvan; 03-13-2013 at 04:32 AM.

I went looking for the rear hood brace and found it was missing; bummer! After checking around one of the HAMB members came up with one for a Desoto. The curve was right but the end where it bolted to the hinges was different so after welding on some short tabs I think we're good. Got a coat of etching primer on and hopefully we'll get a trial fit with the hinges bolted on done this week.

Thanks, Dave. I moved the car to the other side of the garage today to make it easier to get my 51 in and out. Here's a trial fit on the hood; it's close but will need some work for a better fit in the front. This is actually the hood off the 47 parts car; the 48 hood was ate up.

I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
