Thanks List for clearing up those first few things on the beading and seat
belt hardware. Now I am looking at the bolts that secure the front apron
assembly. They are left unpainted and do not have flat washers. Think Marty
the
blind judge will catch that? Should they be body color with flat washers?
I know here I go with the anal stuff. I am going to say they should be for
the complete body shell must have been painted at the factory and then lowered
onto the complete rolling chassis engine, radiator and all in place. The two
bolts that secure the latch up front are the same way no washers or paint,
not sure about those. Please correct me if I have this wrong.
You know now I can understand why many restorers typically leave all these
underhood bolts unpainted. My man Mark lined up the painted wings and then
went back and resprayed all the securing bolts and the channel they sit in
afterwards. Trouble was he had not fitted the bonnet yet. That required some
wing
adjustment ruining the plate on all those original Crane bolt heads so the
paint process had to be done all over again. What a pain.
