Like everyone has said, "That is a thing of beauty". Do you mind if I ask if the powder coating was expensive? Did you prep the parts before you took them to the place that does the coating? And also being in Michigan myself I wondered if you could tell me where you had it done?
As far as using stainless bolts, I definitely like the looks of them. It's too bad someone doesn't sell the IH marked bolts in stainless.
You did a great job on your restoration, I'm sure you will enjoy it for many years to come.
