Is there a source to buy correct bolts. Mostly for the chassis.

Correct Source?? Probably NOT!
Replacement bolts can be found at various vendors including Paragon and Long Island. Not 100% but they fill the hole and do the job.
Most newby judges don't know the difference between originals and reproductions since all they have ever seen were reproductions.
If you want originals, go to a swap meet and take a pair of gloves.

Try http://www.amkproducts.com/ . I've used these folks over the last 5 years for some of my harder to replace or re-plate fasteners. They do group some fasteners by manufacturer (GM, Ford, Chrysler) and alot of these have head markings and finishes that will be acceptable (I believe) for judging.

Re: Correct Bolt Source???
Richard Fortier has an extensive collection of correct bolts and other Corvette hardware. He knows what's correct and what's not. Richard is a great guy, a NCRS member and advertises regularly in the Driveline. Might be worth a try.Don Lowe

John Meissinger sells original nuts bolts and parts on ebay and has been for a long time. I am a satisfied customer several times over. He has great feedback score.
Another NCRS member to try on ebay is Rich Pasqualone he is another great source of original nuts & bolts.

Rich, Thanks for the help. I am going to get a list together of what I need. im hoping to get every nut and bolt possible. Im not sure how Ill have a complete list all at once since I am coming across things as I clean and assemble them. But I will try to put something together.

I scanned these from a Paragon 2002 issue. I don't know if this helps but here they are.

Re: Correct Bolt Source???
I didn't think I was going this far with this car. I told myself I wasn't. Then I told myself again I wasn't. I wanted to get the car done and drive it!! And now here I am looking for correct bolts and ones in good condition. I guess this just grows on you.- Top
