I learned long ago to use anti-sieze on all stainless bolts and nuts. Learned the hard way that is.

Part of the reason I went to zinc plated bolts in my latest build, plus I like the OEM look.

Trust me we put on anti-seize however I can confirm it was not enough

In the late 70's I had a 71 Camaro with a small block and 6-71 blower. I remember installing some Moroso anodized aluminum blower studs in the new Weiand intake by hand. Next day I went to remove them and several were like welded in place. Couldn't believe it, destroyed them getting them out. That's when I first learned about anti-sieze and the reason for using it lol.

If you don't end up looking like the Tinman from the Wizard of Oz when you use anti-seize, you didn't use enough.

That’s almost as good as cutting up jalapeños and then having to pee and you forget to wash your hands before you do.

I don’t speak from experience, but one of the guys at my station actually did that. It quite a sight to see. 🤣🤣🤣

Back on the door panels



I set up a table so I can easily work on them.



Need go modify a couple bolts





Time to see how close or far off the door handle hole is.



Once again I ran the bolts in from the backside so I could get an idea as to how far off they are.



The modified ARP bolts worked.



Door handle is in.





I am going to need to get a hold of D&R Classics as I can't seem to find the door handle escutcheons.
