Which frame stencil for my '69?

[Paul S.]

Hi all,

I am prepping my '69 convertible for its very first Flight judging in a few weeks and couldn't be more excited. All I really have left to do is to apply the various chassis and engine markings, stickers, etc..

I bought a chassis marking kit from Quanta that includes two frame P/N stencils, and I am not sure which one would be more appropriate to use. My car has a manual transmission and was built on July 22, 1969 (that's the date on the trim tag).

One of the stencils reads:

3973880-65
3.31.69

The other reads:

3973880-68
6.24.69

I am not sure why they included two, and I can't tell from the judging guide which one is more appropriate for my car. I am leaning toward the second one, since 6/24/69 is about a month before the car's build date, but before I go forward, I thought I'd check here. Any help?


Thanks,
Paul

Anyone have any thoughts?

I agree, and would use the second one.
Don't forget to use a roller, not spray, as that's how it was done originally.

FYI your car was probably built July 23 or 24, as final assembly was about a day after the body build.

Thanks, Patrick! And yep -- I am aware of the build date situation and will be using a roller to apply the stencil.
