sorry to resurrect this thread but I was looking through the unrestored pics for 65's and the first 6 Dearborn cars I looked at had the nuts on the inside of the engine bay
Am I missing something ?

Don't know why we didn't post a picture earlier to help some understand what was typical



Hope this clarifies details for members and those reading this thread
