Default Make it stop!!

Ugh. I can't help myself. I promised my wife I would not buy anything else for the car this year unless it was absolutely necessary.

So I ordered up some DSE fender braces and Ring Brothers stainless bolts. I have a couple of shows coming up this year...thought it would be cool to win a trophy after all this effort so the details matter. I guess necessity is fluid in this hobby.

I feel shame.

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!
