Gary,

It is a roadster. No problem. I will remove the shield over the weekend and hopefully there is evidence of 6.

Gary,

Took the shield off the drivers side today and the only evidence left were three stumps where the brackets had been cut off. Definitely not six on my car.

I just checked my St. Louis, K19 on the trim tag and I have 3 brackets for the rocker moldings.

Gary,

Thanks.

By any chance is your original frame stencil visible? I've got a database on '66 frame stencils that I wrote about for the Restorer. But no cars in mid to late July, unfortunately,

I remember putting the #'s on it when I restored over 30 years ago. I would have to pull the rocker off to read the #'s.

Gary,

Did you redo the numbers that you could read on the frame? Or do you get a stencil from Quanta with numbers based on their database?

If the number was based on your original number, I'd love to add it to my database if you get a chance to pull the rocker anytime.

I redid the # that was on the frame, when I get a chance I will try and get it for you.

Great. Thanks in advance. I'm trying to get confirmation for the correct stencil for my car, which was born two days after yours.
