Carefully scraping away the spray bomb I believe I found the missing 3rd ink stamp on the RH side. Remnants of the ink stamp appear to have stuck to the white "O". When comparing the other stamps the orange is the same color. I also carefully scraped away the spray bomb surrounding the tag. I'm hesitant to use a reducer here but luckily the manual method seems to be working for now. A lot more work to do! Shout out to Darrell and James for the inspiration to do this type of work.

Lots of dirty work in a restoration/preservation job. I always dread this and it's hard to get started, but once I do, I'm OK. I usually end up looking like the car used to by the end of the day...

Slowly chipping away. Here's progress around the heater cutout and cleaned up the tag a bit. My eyes need a break.

Pretty sure that's a "L78" and "102" markings...

Denis that seems to be the consensus. Once seen it can't be unseen lol. I'm told the 102 means it was the 102nd car in the line that day which corroborates with the orange PBT stamps as it was early in the 1st shift. I'm also being told that this was sometimes found in the lower valence. Well here is my lower valence. (Image flipped for easy reading). I now need to confirm that the lower valence is original to the car. Last edited by jbtech; 07-13-2022 at 03:05 AM. |
