wingrider 21 #26 Posted November 24, 2011 You should be able to buy them at any hard ware, or home improvement store. Almost every 1/4" bolt will have a 7/16 head on them. Good Luck with your project Wingrider Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

faster 11 #29 Posted November 25, 2011 Heres alittle Thanksgiving update. As far as the bolts there the the 1/4" bolt washer 7/16" head I`ll get with you Kelly on the bolts and also the hood you have. Cleaned up the tires the best I could hit them with some ArmorAll tire foam and they don`t look all that bad. Also blasted primed and painted the rims with Rust-Oleum Almond 7770 paint just a lite coat. Tomorrow I hope to mount the tires tape them off and give the rims a second coat I will be real happy having tires on rims. The bolts I need rims after paint The middle of the back rims is original paint The tires after cleaning Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also picked up a hood off of ebay for $56.00 (free shipping) can`t ask for much more but it will need some work. Also got the decals for the engine should dress it up very nice. Have a look getting closer every day. ebay hood. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your doing a great job on this rebuild, can't wait to see the finished machine Thanks Stigian, The way I look at it the basement Man Cave is mine. But I do all the painting,grinding and dirty work outside so most everything you see is clean and ready to put together in the Man Cave. I do have to say I follow your projects and there very impressive. I started off in life as a welder building railroad cars and your welding and fab skills are killer. Keep up the good work.
