    1948 Chevy truck hood nut stripped

    If you’re replacing metal can’t you just drill a new hole and use a rivet nut? I realize it won’t be period correct for the year but it will work. Or you could weld the hole, re drill and tap.

    Can't See Garage Door - Anything to Know It's Shut

    I installed an automatic closer for a customer of mine a while back. Cant remember what it was called but a quick google search will probably pull it up. It piggybacks on the opener and if the door is left open for a predetermined period of time it automatically closes the door.
