Looks great noticed one small item the 2nd and 3rd body mount the tape for the shims normally goes across the frame rail not with the rail. No 1 and 4 the tape is the way you have it except it is folded around the lower edge of the mount bracket.

Thanks Paul. I will make that small adjustment before I drop the body. Where can I get a reproduction tank sticker? Jeff

Very nice, well done. Just one question, were the shim numbers marked when the frame was upside down?Cheers, Graeme.

I think triple A makes window sticker but at this time I do not know of anyone making tank order sheets. The last I heared there was someone making them but were aged to mislead a new buyer.

No in 1969 the Arabic numbers were not upside down. Now on early 1969 car they used Roman numerals then switched to Arabic numerals we do not have a definitive date for the change.
