A previous owner of my '47 Custom replaced all the fasteners in the engine compartment with stainless steel when he did a mechanical restoration of the car from the clutch forward in the mid-80s. These nuts, bolts, screws, and washers add a nice but subdued enhancement to the appearance of the engine. The cylinder head stainless steel nuts (not acorn) and washers are a nice finishing touch without being flashy.
