Default Body Bolt Resto A simple How To

I was at the shop today restoring some hardware for the beater and a friend came along for some sunday bench racing, to my surprise he had never seen the simple process I was doing. This gave me a idea on a how to thread. Now I know alot of you out there know how to do this but I thought some might like to see how to and be able to do it themselves.

This is a simple Body Bolt Restoration it can be done for next to nothing. A few items are needed a propane torch, some motor oil, pliers, and a way to clean the bolts, you can use a wire wheel bead blast etc but they need to be clean. Remember to check the threads! here are the items needed.



This is our example bolt in need of a restoration.



The first step is going to be cleaning the bolt you need to do a good job at this, it can be done a number of ways, I chose to bead blast them, remember to clean the threads.
