Our Story: From Winchester to the Workshop — The East Coast Bolts Journey

We won't screw, but our fasteners will

Every bolt tells a story — and ours starts with one goal: to make classic car restoration easier, more authentic, and more affordable for builders across America. From our home base in Winchester, Virginia, East Coast Bolts has grown from a small operation into one of the most trusted names in OEM-correct automotive fasteners for vintage GM, Ford, and Mopar restorations.

🧩 From Hand-Sorted Bags to Master Kits

Our early days were simple — sorting fasteners by hand on a workbench, labeling each one with painter’s tape and a Sharpie. But as demand grew, so did our system.

Today, each Master Kit is designed, sorted, and labeled by section — body, chassis, engine, interior, and under-hood. Every kit uses OEM-correct head markings, finishes, and sizes, just like the originals that rolled off the assembly line in the 1960s and 1970s.

We believe that restorations should look, feel, and function like factory — and that starts with the right hardware.

🚗 Expanding the Line — and the Legacy East Coast Bolts story

Over time, East Coast Bolts expanded from individual restoration kits to full master kits for GM, Ford, Pontiac, and Chrysler models. We added stainless-steel kits for marine and coastal builds, chrome fasteners for show cars, and modern replacements for body shops and custom shops alike.

Our promise has stayed the same:✅ Accurate fitment.✅ Quality materials.✅ Fast, dependable shipping from Winchester, VA.

When you order from us, you’re not buying generic hardware — you’re buying fasteners backed by experience, tested in real builds, and sorted by people who know restorations inside and out.
