Re: If Not In The AIM...
Bill, They are definitely moulded edges on the notches. Sometimes there will be a little flashing. If the assembly line worker was to cut the notch it would most likely have been outlined in the assembly manual. It is also common on AOS as well as St. Louis bodies. I also think that it either had something to do with body drop, or clearance for the lower tank area of the SB radiator, but the notch is also found on BB cars as well.
