Cool stuff! Ive got a very similar tool chest like the one in #2505.
What I like it works on different Mopar platforms. I think my SS hood works. But only for A-bodies. It just looks off on a B-body.

That plate is the finishing touch, glad to see it where it belongs. A gracious nod to the cars heritage. Nicely done Scott!.

Nice shop
I have a Black & Decker valve grinder like that.
I need the part to mount a valve in to grind the stem length. I've only used it on Flat heads & haven't needed it, but have heads to do now.

You might regret using those grade 2 bolts to put it on. If they get seized they'll twist off easily.The chrome thermostat housing was leaking. After trying to fix it with some gasket sealant, it still wasn't good and looked terrible.

I went through my old parts and retrieved the original cast-iron one that was on the car. Hit it with the bead blaster, high heat primer, and high heat paint, new gasket, and no leaks. Plus, I think it looks better.

Thanks I will take a look at that. Do you know what size they are?

9/16 head = 3/8 bolt, 1/2 head = 5/16 bolt. But I'm positive someone on this site has the exact proper bolt w/factory style head markings.
Just post a parts wanted thread. Bet someone you've already had comment has just what you need. Ask if a factory flat washer exists. I wouldn't use a lock washer unless factory did.
I'd probably use an AN(Army-Navy standard) type washer & anti- seize on threads to prevent rusting threads, especially if the timing/waterpump cover is Aluminum. Iron not quite as bad, but I'd still use some as t-stat bolts can be a problem anyway. Don't overtighten & occasionally check titeness.
