Chassis Stencil Question

[Ned T.]

I just received my "chassis Detail Kit" from Paragon. Car is a July 7 69 Build Date. The receipt that came with the kit says July 8 69 Build Date. Does this one day off show up on the stencil kit numbers or arent they that close? I cant see anything that indicates an excact Build Date on the stencil. Where can I find the information to decipher this stencil.

Thanks, Ned

The stencil is indicating a frame date of June 12, 1969, well before the car's build date of either July 8 or July 9. Frame stencil date does not indicate car build date except that it has to preceed by a reasonable margin.

Chuck, I assume this is a reasonable margin then since it is only 3 weeks ? I would hope so since Paragon seems to be very knowledgable.
