Joe ~
I have replaced all my engine and body bolts and nuts with polished
stainless or chrome hardware with the Chevy Bowtie emblem embossed on
the head. I got them from http://www.gardner-westcott.com
They also offer hood hinges but I passed on them because they were about
$450.00!
I had the complete section in front of the radiator (with the hood
latch) chromed locally. You can get a glimpse of it in the attached
website photos.

Hi,
I'm looking to add some more shine under the hood of my AD and seen a few
AD's with either chrome or stainless steel hood hinges, springs and
strikers. Does anyone know of a vendor selling these items or am I just
going to have to send the current stuff of to the chrome shop?
I have found one vendor that sells the special shouldered hood bolts in
stainless steel but that's it so far.
