Making some quick stainless hinge pins for a 1941 Lincoln Continental. PJ from Sieberts Custom Paint & Body was working on the Lincoln, and he wanted some stainless hinge pins, which he could not find. He asked me, and I told him sure I can help you out. We had some bolts at our disposal, so I popped some out for him.
