The heater box rebuild stuff starts at 
http://www.mattsoldcars.com/RestoreAmerican/heater_box01.shtml (also 
some stuff at http://theamcforum.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4445). I 
list part numbers and a source for most of the odd ball stuff. I do have 
some of that stuff left but I've already given most of it away.

McMaster-Carr and Fastenal are good sources for the hardware but you can 
buy in smaller quantities from McMaster-Carr. You'll need a type of 
rivet called a blossom or bulb rivet for attaching the covers to the 
heater box. Detroit Muscle Technologies has a good selection of the 
seals. I don't recall what year and model you are working on but if they 
don't have it, they can make it (they're really good to work with which 
is nice).
