Well...I DO live in Minnesota! Rust is the enemy!
That's the reason I got the bolts in the first place. Take the stock fender bolts out a few times, and before you know it, it's rusting where the paint came off.
I needed the adjustable fender struts to help align the sheetmetal...we know how difficult that is on a '69 Firebird! Right?!?
Whew...that was easy! Justification, check!
