Quick question. What is the white paint lettering (LO) on 1976 2.0 sheet metal (looks hand painted). On one side is LO and other are some numbers. Is this the initials of the builder? This may have been covered but did not know what to search under.
Thanks

I'm not sure anyone knows exactly what those mean. You can see a number of examples on this page: http://bowlsby.net/914/Classic/PLM.htm (scroll about 3/4 of the way down to "Group E").

Interesting. Do you think these should be left on the shroud when I repaint the metal?

my 2 cents: paint over them, with 1 exception: Unless you are building a concours car. I painted my cooling tins orange. I have seen lots of other colors too. go with what you like.

and welcome to the WORLD.

Pictures,

Depends on the car and what you want to do with it. If it is a pretty nice preservation candidate, snap some digital pics with a ruler held up next to the markings. That way, you can recreate them later if you want. If you are building a driver, do whatever makes you happy.
