C500 latchtray/grille bolts

[richRTSE]

I've been digging through some of the boxes of parts that came with my 500. I'm trying to figure out where all the screws and bolts go. I looked through some reference pictures I had and I noticed a difference in the hood latch bolts on two cars that I thought were both survivors. The bolts for the grill have different size washers. One car was the black and red hemi car which has the large washers and the other was a red/white stripe/white interior car which has smaller washers.  It seems like I have the larger washer bolts, but it looks a little funny to me. Is one of these cars more correct thatn the other, or did creative just use whatever they had laying around?

Thanks, Rich

Also, does anyone know what this is? I don't recall seeing this when I did my '69 R/T...

That looks just like the patch piece I made for the rusted out brace under the top of my fender, back near the doors.

Rich you would be best to go with how the black car was done rather than how my R4 red car is. There are plenty of things that are wrong on my car so if you want it done right, don't use it as an example. I know it is my car in the picture due to the red bolt and crappy repaint showing.

Wrong or not, I still think your car looks good.  This is it, isn't it?

Yuppers that would be my C500 in the picture, and there is even a view of me in the background. Ugly guy with the tank top on.

My car has tons of things wrong on it, but there are some things that are still right. Paint looks decent in photo's from 10 feet away or so, but up close its a different story.
