Good post Jeffrey. Thanks!
How do your bolts (using yr process) stand up to moisture in the air. For example, does the absorption of the oil create a barrier or some how improve protection of the bolt from rust?

Sam it seems to hold off the eliments quite well, Now I do not subject any of my cars to harsh weather, (I save that for the wifes car)
I just sold a 442 of mine I had done 4 years ago and the hardware still looked great, but if one starts to see a little wear the process can be done with little effort, I usually keep a good hand of new hardware around but the original is much better with correct marking and washer size, it seems on the new stuff the washer is a bit on the small side for the 3/8-16 bolts. It really is a good detailing trick especially when doing a survivour look.
