Re: Body Bolt Resto A simple How To
Here's another idea on this subject...I don't know how hot the propane torch makes the bolts..but, why couldn't you just "bake" them in a 400* oven for a half hour or so and then do the oil bath....if opening up the pores in the metal is the goal then this should work....you could also do a bunch at one time....just an idea.
ps...don't use your wife's good roasting pan

Re: Body Bolt Resto A simple How To
In a conventional oven that will heat the metal too slow, metal will hold water, when it heats slow you can see the moisture pull from it, in a slow heat process it will get a golden glow from rusting during the slow heat process, changing the finish too a more brown color, also it might be hard to keep up on the oil process without the bolts cooling. The process posted is the nicest hardest finish process I have found, a repeat is sometimes needed for the correct shade and practice helps, When set up to do a multitude of bolts it only requires a small amout of time in the heat and oil process. This is by no means a new process I learned this in Metals class 25 years ago for hardening steel I always liked the finish you could get and I use it for a multitude of things.

Re: Body Bolt Resto A simple How To
My wife came home early one time and caught me phosphating some bolts on the kitchen stove. Without breaking stride, as she walked through the kitchen, she announced, "You know you're a redneck when you cook bolts on the kitchen stove!"
