More purple parts
The fender bolt for the rear hinged section orientation. Nows not the time to verify it but I thought I would ask anyway. The rear fender is an NOS 48 part, the bolts were never removed and the fender was red oxide primed including the bolts, the nuts are facing forward. Something tells me they should be at the rear BUT its too late now if Im wrong I suppose.
Great painter! right out of the gun, no polish or de-nibbing required.

Looking closely at the pics from Palmers on the 1948 models I only see the rear fender bolts mounted in the position as shown in your pic. The other thing I find interesting is that Palmer states that the bolts and nuts are painted (over parkerized finish) yet in all the pics the only thing painted is the head on the bolts. The nuts and washers are just parkerized with no paint over them.

It would be great to chat with a retired assembly line worker from back then.
