    So I bought some 1/4-28 bolts for the floor pan and hood hold-downs from Midwest Military...bright shiny new and just the right size and shape....but it's an old jeep...

    A little Aluminum black, from a shop that sells gun bluing etc., did the trick.

    57 years of aging in 5 minutes.... on the bolts!
