Thanks Alain,
The advantage in buying a bulk lot of nuts and bolts would be that as you
take components off the car through the restoration process, you could match
up the new hardware and include it with the components as you tag, restore
and store them. Each component would then be good to go when you reach the
reassemble stage. Everyone seems to recommend being as anal as possible in
cataloguing the parts as they come off. If you end up taking all your
hardware to a plater at the end, much of that effort seems wasted. Why not
just throw the nuts and bolts into a five gallon bucket as you go? Are there
sources of new hardware that won't cost you deductions in a concours
judging?
