Restoring a six, and the VIN on the front fender well is obscured by a couple layers of paint over some surface rust. The stamping still look pretty sharp, but it isn’t clear how it was masked. Anyone have pictures of the area that show the details of the original paint?
It could be the same as the four cylinder cars, but I keep finding all sorts of weird little things that are different. |

There was a thread on this earlier. In general it was not masked, so got some body color

QUOTE(davep @ May 9 2023, 09:02 PM)  There was a thread on this earlier. In general it was not masked, so got some body color. Thanks for the picture. I looked for earlier threads, but didn’t find references to factory painted VINs. So much archived information here, I often fail to find things even when I know what I’m looking for. Even with Google’s help. Applying some lacquer thinner I think I can see some factory primer amongst the stampings. Did the TUV start requiring naked VINs at some point? Certainly the later 4 cylinder cars appear to have them unpainted.  |
