The toe bolts he had that came with his solid rear bushing replacement kit had a zerk fitting for grease. The alignment shop striped it and I need a new bolt. I like to get the same one if possible.

I wasn't aware, and hate to hear that Dick is no longer in the business. I owe him thanks for helping me to better understand suspension tuning before I got too far lost in my earliest attempts. And, IMOE he's always been the kind of guy who didn't mind taking time out of his day to scrounge for the odd bit for you if he thought there was any chance he might be able to put a finger on it. In any event, I'm sure he deserves some rest after all these years.
And, dang! Howard, I'm convinced you must have at least one of everything ever made for a C3 chassis.
I feel the same. I had the most interesting conversation years ago about the difference between using a steel rear spring or on of the new mono-leaf fiberglass springs.
Back to the topic at hand, I found a site doing a Google search. The message said it was Works 2 also known as Corvette American muscle car formally Gulstrand and that all the mechanics were working there. I called to see if he had inventory, but nobody answered.
I also found the Guldstrand Engineering site on facebook. Thinking someone may have took that over I called the number. It was Dick’s personal cell phone. Darn. As mentioned, he asked what my issue was to see if he could help. He is such and gentleman. Glad I purchased and had him sign his book Corvette Thunder.
Where do you guys go now for high performance parts like solid control arm bushings??
...I also bought basically the last thing that he hung in all three of his shop locations, his Guldstrand big inside the shop banner! i am proud that he thought i was a worthy enough longtime customer to let me have that memory, piece of history...
Lucky you.
Man, I'd love to have that banner hanging in my garage! Other than an assortment of kit bought over the years, the only mementos I have are a couple of the navy & gold T-shirts from way back when, and NIB 1:18 die cast of the #10 Penske Grand Sport (really need to get his autograph on that).
In any event, I'll be looking forward to your posting what else might remain available.
I needed 4 of those big bolts in your box with the hole drilled through the center and the last thread or two turned off, the toe adjuster bolts, I called and called and Dick was never there and who was there didn`t have a clue, he did call back once and leave a message but didn`t leave a price, we eventually made our own, as my father used to say "nothin lasts forever".
Your Jongbloeds Sold to Australia! darn, but thanks! Cool stuff like the Revolutions Racing rims you have for sale, it is getting hard to find that kind of stuff. Very interesting racing modular rims, but I am going to get some extra rim halves turned out for my Jongbloed set. Much appreciated for the reply back!
