    1969 427-435 finally ready for body drop!

    After 3 years of work my 69 427-435HP auto convertible is ready for body drop. Getting it dropped before Christmas! That's my present to myself. https://www.forums.ncrs.org/images/smilies/smile.png

                  Looks great noticed one small item the 2nd and 3rd body mount the tape for the shims normally goes across the frame rail not with the rail. No 1 and 4 the tape is the way you have it except it is folded around the lower edge of the mount bracket.

                      Thanks Paul. I will make that small adjustment before I drop the body. Where can I get a reproduction tank sticker? Jeff

                          Very nice, well done. Just one question, were the shim numbers marked when the frame was upside down?Cheers, Graeme.

                              I think triple A makes window sticker but at this time I do not know of anyone making tank order sheets. The last I heared there was someone making them but were aged to mislead a new buyer.

                                  No in 1969 the Arabic numbers were not upside down. Now on early 1969 car they used Roman numerals then switched to Arabic numerals we do not have a definitive date for the change.
