In the 16 years or so I've been doing woodwork on 1930s cars, I haven't
found a source
for the unique little nails they used to fasten the sheet metal to the
wood. They're about
1/2" long and pretty stout with a head that's shaped like an inverted
cone. They sink flush
with the metal, while a regular finish nail won't do this. It's about
time to post a reward for
information leading to the arrest and capture of a few thousand of
these, or to make my own
somehow.

So what's the reward? page 187

You'd have to split it with a friend of mine, he found them right away
in a catalog
from a place called Restorationstuff, after we had a conversation about
how to
make them from regular finish nails. Why do I always end up being the

elaborate fighting motions before
somebody just pulls out a .45 and plugs me?
