With vinegar you have to put it into some sort of mechanical oil straight after do not let the vinegar dry and remember to leave it in a glass closed jar for 24 hours more if necessary you can shake it to accelerate.

dont they sell small blasting cabinets?

There are a lot of automotive grade bolts on that car, and it would cost you a bundle to replace all of them with new ones. I would take the advice of the acid dip thing. However, if they are still usable, but are eaten up a little, I think I would hit them with the wire brush first.

Mail 'em to me - I've got a monster tumbler I use for my rifle brass. I'll put them in that for a full day and let the media do the work.

Oooooh - carb dip it in a bucket. Good idea...

Carb dip. it comes in a one gallon pail, with a tray inside the can. You can also dip carbs in it when you are done with the bolts. Put the lid back on and have a nice day. I have two gallons in a 5 gallon bucket, I use it to clean carbs and handfulls of bolts. its alot easier than running them though the bead blaster. Although I have done that too.

fastener kits are a nice alternative got one for the fastback. it might get used someday...

i just sandblast them at work. lol! gets the best results; i guess a tumbler would work just fine, chemicals work but the finsh isnt the same on all those nuts, bolts, and other small pieces!

I have just been replacing each bolt as i am putting stuff back together it's really not that expensive... local hardware store sells bolts 1.99 a pound and i probably have spent 20 bucks or so but they are all new and coated and hopefully wont seize together like the original hardware
