I've toiled over whether or not to re-use the bolts. Most likely, I'll run down to the hardware store and get what I need since many of them were pretty rusty where you'd see them. Plus, I'd already replaced some of them a while back.

My brother about freaked when I suggested putting in store bought bolts, something about IH markings and all. :biggrin2:

Like I said, most of them were so badly rusted that the IH isnt' even a consideration. Plus, I've never been a "numbers and paint codes" kinda guy. Why start NOW! :biggrin2:

Mine are all in good shape. That is why I am going to reuse them. I have access for all bolts for free if I need to replace any. Even Stainless. :biggrin2:

But I don't think I will bling it up too much. Maybe a new chrome acorn nut for the steering wheel. OH, I am getting a new steering wheel. There is a product that will fill the cracks and I could repaint the old one but I think I will make a clock out of it..

:beerchug:

your doing better then me. I have yet to paint any parts on my O. still fab work to do on the frame for the narrow front end

Paint looks good!:beerchug:

Great job!

Boy that paint sure is purdy:beerchug:

:beerchug:There's just something about freshly painted parts. Lookin good!!!!!!

That's super nice Andy. Did you do any body work at all or is that just primer and paint? And I know what you're talking about with the majjic paint. Mine sagged quite a bit on my rims and other areas with the white and yellow. I'm thinking it's a combination of too much layed down at once on my part and the old Florida humidity during the summer. Yours looks amazing though, great job buddy!

thanks guys!

Here's a couple of today's progress.

Alvy, I haven't done too much body work but that's about to change with the hood and fenders. There's a few holes in the fenders and the hood is a little wavy up toward the front.

I have to paint the clutch and driveshaft and do a quick touch up of the engine before placing it on the frame. I may get a few chances this week to work on that stuff, we'll see how life flows out.

Here's the pix!
