Mike-Yes, that's what I use, I believe they are the finest and most dependable, but hang on to your wallet I get them from Terminal Supply Co. in Troy Michigan.
BradC- You got me thinking about how many I have used in my life I'm almost out of my 2nd bag of 1200.

I welded the inner and outer pieces to my hood and side panels together today. If anyone is considering doing this let me tell you it is well worth the time and effort. What a difference it makes, they are so rigid, no tin canning. I marked where I wanted the spot welds on the inner panel on the powder coated side then transfered the spots to the unpainted side so I could grind of the powder coating where the weld would be. I was concerned about leaving marks on the finished side so I used a piece of 3/4" copper on the good side so it wouldn't leave any marks. it worked really good. Then I welded it together. I'm really happy with the way it all came out.

One of the other things I have been working on is the air inlet tube, snorkel, I don't know what to call it I needed a place to hide the horn wires, headlight wires, and some other stuff. So I welded a 1/2 in tube inside that tube to hide all those wires. The rectangular slot is for the air flow sensor for the computer. Finished the tubes that go into the fuel and wire distribution block. The two tubes behind the block are for the wiring for the injectors the fuel line is in between those but you can't see it.
