Any anti-sieze do? I'm pretty sure I have this stuff at home: http://www.permatex.com/products/aut...ubricant_a.htm

Or do you need a different type?

Yes, that will work great for those bolts.

Next time you get some more, get the 2400 degree F rated stuff and use it generously on all the exhaust system bolts too.

^^^ Much nicer than stock, love allen bolts too but the bolts around the fender and on the hood just look too tall in my personal opinion. Still way better than stock, other than that, it looks mint!! You simply cant beat the price

I've been using Bolt Depot for awhile as well. On my last project I did just about every visible bolt and nut. It's a great finishing touch.

Great job on all the bolt projects posted

I think the steel allen's used in this heat shield look good Joe. Great job!

This is confusing...I think this is what you should do..you should post up the bolts together with the location of where they go..like the 6x10x12 go with the headlights, reservoirs etc..and the engine bay/valve cover bolts..cuz i'm confused in where all the bolts go lol..but they look great
