Family Fish on its 3rd life: 1967 F/B Resto

I took a day off to spend on the car. I am waiting for my spray gun parts and my new gun, so I figured I should add the studs to the fenders. (eliminating the bolts)

I started with 5/16 elevator bolts. In order to have maximum tightening ability without adding spacers, I decided to thread the square part. The first set I knocked down with a 3" cut off wheel, then ran a 5/16 die over it. The last one set I just used the die and it worked fine.

I centered the bolts on the holes and tightened them down.

After clamping down the fender I burned it in.
