I was dissasembling and cleaning some CV's/axles to powder coat and rebuild and thought of you guys when I saw these paint markings. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I also dug up another set to see if this was a fluke, see for yourselves. The first two are from a 73 1.7, no gaurantee BOTH are original to that car, thus the possible reason for the diffe rent colors. The one on the right is very faint but is DEFFINITLY a white paint mark.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) For the most part (pretty much always) paint markings were applied by the people werking the assembly line to denote the proper werk had been done. If you look at the Barret Jackson type restorations, those guys ALWAYS want those markings reproduced for "authenticity" I believe the colors were also specific to each person, Bill's marks were blue, Joe's marks were white etc. that way any issues could be traced back to the specific werker.

A funny story I read in some book magazine who knows but anyway they said that most of the prototype cars panels were so far off they didn't know if the guy on the left actually talked to the guy on the right
