Thanks, I've never had a "clean shiny chassis" before. I plan to stop by every day I can to see the progress and take pictures as it goes together.

For you guys that have put together frame-up projects before, what did you used for bolts? Yeah, I could use some of the 60 year old bolts that didn't break but nah...

This is a "small potatoes" issue but I don't want them to rust . Zinc plated bolts are yellowish according to my Google search. But i always thought the yellowish ones were cad plated. Yellow is fine but what are the shiny silver ones? Galvanize electroplated? No, I don't mean stainless. I know they're pricey and tend to gall if you don't install them with anti-seize.

I do plan to use button head polished stainless under the hood for inner-to-outer fender bolts but not much else.
Advice appreciated.
