I feel your pain Jake!! My current project was also loaded with hardware store fasteners from a previous restoration requiring many searches through my stash and elsewhere for correct pieces.

Thanks Lynn. We appreciate the kind words. The fact that we are a close family is not lost on us.
Being able to work on the old niner is icing on the cake.

Thanks again,
Dave Dykstra
