Thanks to Randall, Andy, Ed, and Dan - the mystery is solved.    I'll stop 
by the local bolt warehouse on the way home tonight and I can keep this 
project moving forward.    This weekend the fenders, apron, hood & boot (I 
typed bood & hoot first) go back on for the last time.  Also finish up the 
fuel & hydraulic lines.

It is beginning to look like a car again...  Not just a pile of parts......
