[ATTACH] Here's one of my '33 Coupe, painted over 20 years ago.
Thinking about the nuts coming off. Could you drill a through hole behind the nut and put heavy cotter pin in to stop the nut from backing off?
Just had a look at home here. I have some 9/16" fine thread nylocs but no 5/8". Tomorrow is a holiday here, but I can check with our supplier on...
If you can't find your nyloc's down there this week, let me know and I'll check around town and bring them with me if I can find them. Does it...

Hi Willy, We've been down at our place in Maui for a couple weeks and went to the drags last night, but there was a big oil down that closed the...
Hi Willy, glad to see the car is still holding together, although it sounds like you're on the verge of breaking stuff, so keeping the drag slicks...
