The Ford Barn

Thanks for the complements fellows. This post is a bit of payback for all I learned since I got my '46 and signed on to the Barn. To answer some questions and comments. Yes, point sets and a few other small parts are available here in Northern Ontario from NAPA.

I thought about using a small nylon nut/bolt, which I had, but was concerned about how it would hold up in the heat from the rad/engine that it would be exposed to. Would it soften and fail? I didn't know so I went with a "POP" rivet. Regarding shipping, a US $10.00 part plus US $32.00 shipping converts to about $56.00 Canadian, and that is not including the customs fee.
