My apologies for not getting the requested photos to Mark in time yesterday so I will post them now. I might add that when we media blasted the car it not only retained 100% of it's original assembly line steel, there was absolutely NO rust anywhere and only one small damaged area in the drivers rear taillight panel. Also, every assembly line grease pencil marking showed up clearly. I have 1641 photos of the car during the restoration so little is left to the imagination. It was restored EXACTLY how it was found in it's mostly original paint so all overspray, drips, undercoating, sound deadener, blacked out areas, interior primers, etc were all matched to pre-existing photos. There was not a single bolt or component that was not completely restored on this car. It is in fact a BRAND NEW CAR. I took special care to try and use assembly line parts during the restoration and not just NOS parts. As far as the stamps and stencils, all were made using the originals as templates and them ink stamped on the hoses. Here are some shots during the restoration.
