Thanks for the reply! We have already cherry-picked the engine out of the 69, so it will be easy to use the steel wool affect. The numbers are really small and I think you are right with the depth of the numbers, it really depended on who stamped them. Whoever it was, must of been a weakling... [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif[/img] because they are not very deep. What were your numbers if you don't mind me asking? I can pick out a number or two but that is about it. Thanks again!

They were on the flat spot near the oil filter and the numbers are very small!

You car must be a Norwood car, correct? The one I am working on is a (LOS) car. For the life of me I can't see a L on the rough casting. Time to take another look! Thanks again! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif[/img]

try some white paint and some sanding to bring out the number.

Thanks for the tip! So you are saying to lightly paint the vin # area with white paint and then sand it down lightly, right? Damn, these particular numbers are a bugger! I have never seen this kind of problem. I have been lucky in the past when the vin #'s were on the engine pad, (pre mid-production) 69's. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/flag.gif[/img]
