Indy_68_S

While waiting for my frame to come back, I started inventorying everything. I have a huge pile of labeled baggies with bolts/nuts/clips/screws/etc... that are all crusty to some degree. To clean/repaint all of this stuff would be maddening & prolly cost more than new, plus they're 40+ y/o fasteners & deserve a rest! I researched some kits (mostly chassis) and have found :

AMK
http://www.amkproducts.com/GM_Kits.htm

Chevelle centric - Chevelle guys seem to like them. Prices good. Catalog/selection = excellent. 'Correctness' = ? How close is a '68 Chevelle chassis to a '68 Cutlass as far as fastener colors & parts? (pretty close, I'd think)

Totally Stainless

Serious $$$$ - More than I need for a nice driver

Fusick/TPP/OPGI/et al
Smaller, more piecemeal kits...Seems the same as AMK, but w/ a bit more $$$ & some claim 'garranteed correct'

Inline Tube
Individual pieces...Some nice stuff, but also some crazy $$$ ($24 for 3 steering box bolts ??!!)

Looks like smaller kits and not real descriptive on contents

I'm focusing on the chassis now, but will eventually need front-end, interior, & other kits..

Anyone use any others ? Recommendations ? Condemnations ? Ideas ?

Thanks ...

I'm not sure if you'll find a whole kit for the car but i've used this web site

New hardware is the way to go but you shouldn't have to go broke doing it.

If the Chevelle guys like the A body AMK kit it should work just as well on the Olds.

Do you have an industrial plater near you? I took 3 boxes full of every rusty, greasy bolt on my car and picked up like new black and silver hardware. I spent apox $200.00 two years ago so I am sure you can find something similar. If you can't and want to send them to me I will get them done here for you.
