I know one is on the right upper inner panel and one is located on the right side of the trunk floor pan. Of course there is the pillar tag in the door jamb. But where else?

The reason I'm asking is in preparation of the work I will be doing on the 6. I don't want to accidentally cut out or through anything that has a number stamping. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif)

Something up under the dash...but I recall that would be hand written.
You should see if you can locate and read the thread from BR and Andy when they disected the prototype.
That came up...with tons of photos.

Ok, I'm good there. I'll be stopping way short of the dash. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Up front, inner passenger fender...stamped.
Then again, inner passenger fender, pop riveted plate.

Not sure about what year had what plate and where it was....that changed a few times.

Yep, the riveted plate is intact and located on the bumper brace. Only riveted so it's an easy save.

On a six, the trunk floor number is located in the center behind where the lock goes about 6 inches in. . . .
there are no other stamped ones other than the one in the front pass. fender liner. . then the front tag and the drivers window tag,

the hole is the center muffler shield mount for reference

That's good to know. I hadn't looked yet and just assumed the 6 had the same trunk stamp location as the 4.

The front trunk vin tag is on the bumper support? Post a pic of that. Doesn't sound right. Should be on the headlight bucket.

do not cut out or paint over the fed sticker regarding import, smog(?), etc. This usually found on the left bottom rear door sill and you would be surprised how many people destroy/paint over this sticker.

I've always been curious about this: what if there are some rust bubbles under the sticker? Is there some way to salvage it?

Chances are no, but you could try and score the paint a half inch or so away from the stickers edge and try to peel the paint off with the sticker still attached. Then you could scrape the paint off the sticker and reglue it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

FWIW, I would go into this process assuming it will not work

Had a problem with Andy. Long story. He cashed my $90.00 check and never sent the sticker, after promising to send it with delivery confirmation. He doesn't respond to PMs.

Completely shocked to read this. I know Andy. He's a stand up guy. Lets get his side too.
