Okay, we are going to try to take the cover off tomorrow. Will I be able to see numbers with the cover off or will I have to take something out? I can tell you now, I will not be comfortable taking anything out of that rear end. I DO NOT want to mess anything up. ;-)
I'll also try and get a hold of the guy in Canada tomorrow. If anyone knows any other resources for finding out information on the car I could use it, I will call anyone who can help me. It's already a special car to me but I think there's more here. According to what you all are telling me, if it turns out to be a copo it will be a VERY special car.
