I've researched the archives, and have read what has been written before, but I would like to ask again. Who has good bolt kits? Ones that look good, and most important, long lasting. This car is a driver, not a numbers matching.

Thx guys,
Rut

I bought mine (front sheetmetal kit) from d & r (drclassic.com)

Big ole 10 pound baggie of fasteners. I haven't needed to open the baggie yet, but as far as I can see it's all there, in the correct finishes and washer types and such

I purchaced mine from Rick's and was a real good kit,all parts are bagged in individual bags and labeled,my car was only a roller with no doors or front clip,the guy that disassembled the car pitched everything,if you want to reuse what you have you could always buy a tumbler and the media material and rezinc them,I believe Eastwood have these supply's.

I got mine from D&R, and it was a bag of bolts. I'd go with one that has them separated and labled.

Most of the bolts on my 68 were OK but I went ahead and got control arm -frame- and front end sheet metal bolts all new from Rick's and they are really nice for reproduction pieces, it saved alot of time searching for them at a bolt place.

I got mine from Ricks for the above reasons LABELED it help now if they would just add pictures to go along with it. Now I'm buying a stainless set for my 69 with allen button head. Hope it has pictures.

A freind told me about AMK. I think they sell to mostly to dealers but will sell to the public.It seems their stuff is really top quality. I am having a hard time using their site however. It requires a java program and mine does not work right even after trying to relode it. I called and they gave me the page for the catalog. This is it. If you want the home page just delete the rest of the address after .com http://www.amkproducts.com/catalog_pdf.htm

Star,
Great link! I was thinking about going with the stainless steel set from Classic Industries, but I like how AMK shows you exactly what you get for your money.

Man that looks like a great deal, I'm not sure how I feel about the allen head though.
