Thank you for posting this video. Like others, I had no idea what went into making these bolt kits. I'm blown away by it.

I truly appreciate all of the time, effort and labor of love that goes into Third Gen's operation. Really incredible.

IF you guys are interested, Here is a couple of bolts/fasteners that my local machinist & customer (I am most fortunate to have him as he makes ALL my "special" hard project parts for my German V8's for me as well as he is my machinist teacher and tool bit supplier for tools I may not have pics 4-6) made for Us for a couple customers AND one of a 1000pcs of a very large Stainless Steel Lag Bolt 7/8 X 3" that one of my "boutique" manufacturers made for use for another customer. The hex head flange bolt is of ETD150 material for a special application at a paper mill and the threaded taper pin is the most impressive piece....tapered shaft alignment pin for a drive shaft, threaded at the top so it self pulls from the taper for easy servicing of the motor drive. Most cool to me!!!

Beautiful "stuff"!! Things like those I like to hold in my hands and fondle. Like my fetish for operating column drops in my hands, LOL. Way more fun than viewing Mona Lisa or the ceiling in the Sistine Chapel. Mechanical Pervert!

Anyone here know where I can get 3/8-24 D-nut clinch bolt? They are used to attach fenders to the body on a 47 Ford 1T van. Same for a 47 PU.
