Hey Danny, always love all the customs touches you do, you and Steve will have to go to a show together once his is done, would be something to be very proud of having those cars side by side! Man I felt so bad for when that hinge bolt broke, I can’t believe how much you had to redo on that car that was hacked by the previous builder! If I recall when you started doing Steve’s car you still had a full head of hair! Lol Have a great weekend!
When I rebuilt my 283 in my 57 4 door sedan in high school the shop teacher had some small paper bags from napa and told me to bag the bolts from every part I was taking off and take a marker and label the bag of what it was. That was 1984. Was a good thing to learn
I had both bolts break in that lower plate and spent hours getting it out, then drilled it and re-tapped it. Then I spent hours trying to get the correct bolts back it. My plate was dropping to low every time, too. I was able to tape it in place, then finally got the threads started, then pulled the tape out. It was a royal pain.
Great description of the hackery on the nut plate! You showed how you planned to reinstall the nut plate with the wire, how were you able to get it out from behind the A pillar? I'm working on my doors and am soaking up all of your descriptions, thanks much!
At 22:15 you were explaining the install of the custom cover plate you made. You mentioned a certain type of bolt or screw you use for thinner metal or steel. I listened 10 times, and can't really understand what you said. Can you please let me know what that is? You do fabulous work, and I love your explanations. Thank you so much for taking the time.
Was wondering what opera or sail panel lights you used on your black hardtop. I have a 56 and their is round flat spots for them but don’t know if they need to be hollowed out to sit down or if they screw down on the flat spots

I saw fire when that bolt broke. I'm going through the same thing of correcting others mistakes.

I finally put in my earpods, and it sounds like FINE THREAD BOLTS. Worked around jet engines for 42 years. I think I am going deaf... LOL
