Best source for original bumper bolts?

[Gary B.]

Has anyone heard from Rich Pasqualone recently? I see that he's no longer listed as an NCRS Member and I haven't seen any of his eBay auctions for 3 or 4 months.

Rich was a great source for used, original bumper bolts. Does anyone know of another source for original bumper bolts for a '64? I know John Meissinger might have some, and I've looking into that, but what about someone else who might have good, used, original C2 bumper bolts?

Don't know what is up with Rich but..... regarding bumper bolts for a '64, contact Dave Sokolowski, he advertises in the Drive Line - he has EVERYTHING - don't be discouraged if you don't get an immediate response to an email, he is a busy guy. But.... his prices are fair and the quality of his inventory is good. Hint - when you send him an e mail describe what you need, including part # out of the AIM and, new vs used - the easier you make it for him to dig out the parts the faster he will respond. I got a bunch of "correct" bumper fasteners for my 64 from him. All good condition - they needed to be zinc plated but other than that, good stuff.

Dan,

I'm just glad to hear Rich is OK. I don't have a current need for used parts, but I like to send people Rich's way when looking for original bolts.

Ed,

Would you please PM me Dave's email? He provides no email address in his Driveline ads and my needs would be difficult to communicate over the phone.

Thanx

most people just call him. But his email is not a secret.

Phone calls are so much better than all the emails friends. The old fashion way.

John,

It's obviously a personal choice. I'd rather get emails from 10 people than phone calls from 10 people. With emails there is a paper and date trail that has proved invaluable at times.

Dan,

I'm helping someone who is restoring a '64 which had all the bumper bolts replaced some years ago with reproduction bolts, most of which don't look particularly correct. The current owner wants to find clean, original bolts that are correct for '64.

Re: Whereabouts of Rich Pasqualone?

I believe the most common bumper bolts for a 64 are WB's! Some earlier cars had some TR's on one side and WB's on the other.

JR,

Were M's used later? Like '65? My '66 has almost all RSC's. The catalog companies sell M's, I think. And M's that aren't 100% correct, even for whichever year(s) they were used.
