You should work on a 50 year old Jaguar.

When you need a specific OEM fastner..... it can be nearly impossible.

Guy I know had to have 10 PCs of glass made for a 63E flat floor, kept one, broke two -> sold rest to recoup

Do ya old fasteners? They are ways to recover and re anodize. Take time but worth it .

First - go to Harbor Freight. Buy tumbler and cutting media. Place bolts etc in tumbler, run for 48 hrs...

Look on line to “how to electroplated or annodize”. Literally make a charged bath and soak for another few days

It can be done and has by many.

I have access to all that at the shop Mike. We have used the tumbler many times as well as the media blaster. They work like magic! All of the OEM parts that were usable were plated and have been used. Either parts went MIA OR they were not in concours usable condition.

Finding that some parts are irreplaceable which seems crazy considering 3-D printers etc. So many of the aftermarket parts are pricey as hell but are still incompatible. It’s a known thing I guess with these cars.

Not so much with the the C3. ‘Merica baby.

Well I'm not about to start my mileage collection over on a new airline. Simpler to just book a seat in one of the first 3 rows.
