You can thank Chrysler's contribution to the chassis for the bolts I think. It is sort of annoying.
BTW I took pics off ALL the bolts grades etc if you need hahaha…

OHHHHH WEEE that hardware and fresh coated parts look amazing! will you be afraid to drive this once its done?Hey guys,
Weather was super nice and I wasn't skiing this weekend so went over and did some organizing, planning with the car.
I have everything except my subframes, calipers, and rear brake shield/brackets back from powdercoating, so trying to get everything in order so I can just fly with the install.

Sort of forgot about the coilover springs though, they are cracked and rusty..... Probably will have to get those done
I also got a little side tracked with my lock cylinders, I tore them all apart and rebuilt them. They were so gunked up with grease they would barely turn. They now spin soooo easily.
I used graphite spray to lube them back up. I also opted to not use the billet door handles, I will keep them for a rainy day.

Regarding all my bolts, I think I'm going to have them laid out on this table while I assemble. That way I can just come over and see what I have and then just grab a bag and go. The bigger bolts are pretty easy to remember where they all go, for the suspension etc.

I did do a little bit of assembly, but will probably remove these items. I want the car running/driving as bare as it can be. Just to make sure there are zero hiccups or leaks etc, then I will do the FINAL assembly.
But it sure looks good so far....

Peace
Definitely worried it will get side swiped or something for sure..
Insurance will give me like $2,300 for it.
Ouch! Surely being so old you can have classic insurance with and agree'd value? Worth looking into now you restoring it so far from every bolt onwards etcDefinitely worried it will get side swiped or something for sure..
I'm not sure but I will absolutely look into it.
Gotta call Haggerty. You can list modifications you want covered and stuff and craft a policy tailored to the miles you drive it each year and the agreed value.
). They have a plastic film on them to protect them in the meantime. I did the taillights and center section as well as the sunroof and got that all put back together.. 
Its so you can look at it - and know where it goes. ;-)
I'm not using any on these small bolts. I took them all out without an issue and the car is 24 years old. The car will never be in salt/snow again. I'm not worried about it. I'll use it on some of the suspension bits for sure, though.
