Dose anyone know where to get a Stainless steel front end bolt kit for my 66 el camino? I see lots of cars have them at car shows.

your local chain hardware store will have them, you just need to know the sizes and how many :inlove:

Tell me which parts you want the bolts to show stainless (i.e.wheelwell house, to fender,,, radiator to radiator core,,, etc) and I'll go count, get a list of bolts. I bought mine at a local nut and bolt house. They had some 5/16 x 1/2 and 3/4 'collared' stainless bolts that look really close to the original GM "body bolts" but were stainless and a standard thread (not the tapered nose like the GM version). None of the stainless bolts come cheap,, best is to buy them by the box (about $30 a box of 50 typically in the smaller sizes).

Call Barry at Home Pro Fasteners in NY, they are the experts and will know the exact requirements for your vehicle. I've bought all my polished stainless from them and they are the best.
