[FC] tool?

[J R Read_HML]

For my Rampside, the ones on the engine cover were torched out and hinges 
were welded to the front edge of it.  Since it has a 110 car engine, this 
makes it very convenient to get to the dipstick and the top side of the 
engine.  Of course, it is not the stock configuration.  But, if you are 
considering different bolts, you are not staying stock anyway.

Attachments (if any) are scanned with anti-virus software.

'65 Monza Convertible 4/140
'66 beater Coupe - icemobile 4/140
