Not only would they work they'd keep you from scratching your nuts too.

Not a Guru but - Easy - Put them on before you paint..........

Oh, too late?

You should strip them again, install and hit them with a jamb gun maybe.

The reason I cannot paint the bolts while it is assembled is I have almost every piece under the car, other then bolts powder coated and I really do not want to get overspray on my freshly done parts. I will try the electrical tape but of it comes down to it I will just touch them up with a little brush.

Use an Airbrush for your fine painting details/touchups. You can literally paint a "pencil" line and never see where the old paint starts and the new paint stops. The Airbrush can spray a pattern so nice that the bolt heads will look as if the paint is bleeding from their surface. It is probably one of (if not) the most important detailing tools to finish those hard to reach "touch ups" and not get ANY over-spray on your surrounding parts. You can set the spray so fine that you can't see the paint leaving the nozzle tip. Once you use an Airbrush, you will wonder how you ever got along without one!

Is that what they did on the assembly line, before delivering the cars new ?

Are you serious Alan? Please tell me you are not going to start nit picking the restoration processes that I use in contrast with yours or anybody else out there. Nowhere have I ever claimed that we restore vehicles using "exact" factory procedures. Restorers are basically illusionist who try to emulate the characteristics of a factory built vehicle! Did you really think that my cars were restored on an assembly line like they originally were built by the Factory? Wow!!!! Thanks for the tremendous compliment Alan.

Dave - You blew it (as in muffler water!) Now you will have to admit all the things we did that were not like the assembly plant... like using hand tools instead of pneumatic tools, taking our time (18 months) instead of 18 hours...etc. Way to go!

You ought to go back and look at some of the hilarious comments that people have made in an attempt to debunk what we did! The angle that Steve spray painted the starter was wrong! We used an airbrush to help make painted parts look new again instead of leaving them damaged looking. Don't forget the one about the alternator being restored "incorrectly" even though that is how we documented it!

Dave, are we the only restoration guys that had to touch up mishaps that occurred during the assembly process? Either some of these guys have access to factory equipment that we were not privileged to use during our restorations, or they don't realize that every insult simply exposes their own hypocrisy! Maybe Alan will let us use his overhead conveyor with the 250 foot dip tank for dipping the body or let us have access to his assembly line pit for installing the engine or the paint booth and baking oven just like Hamtramck used or the robotics used to help install the Dash...........
