Where did u get ur delete plate screws?

I got them at home depot..like 16cents a bolt..and like 10cent a washer..Dont remember the size tho, maybe 7/16
 
Thanks again Elko Warren, ck it out

So today after taking fam for breakfest, came home and started wrenching...

I painted the dash cap, steering column and installed the steering wheel, also put my old school "Malibu" emblem on da grille, was tired of seen everyone with the "chevy" grille emblem, so came up with this...

Malibu started right up, no pushing the gas pedal, just rooooommmmmmmm...

Going to adjust the tie rods tomorrow morning, did put the car in drive and reverse, all works..
