Here is what it looked like after just lacquer thinner wiping off paint remnant.
They have had several sets of eyes on the bare area after some light sanding.
It was on a lift.
Nada
Never seen a Norwood stamp up against the outer edge before.
Just to mention it.
My 73 SD started with a faint strike - then they popped it again and it was a blurred crossed double strike -
then they moved a bit and gave it a 3rd solid smack.
All the strikes were heavier on one end than the other.
I think this is one of the hateful ungrateful units that didn't get its VIN stamp.
