Title: X33 marking behind rear seat enhancement help please..
Post by: bilede on October 22, 2007, 12:03:38 AM
Hi,

I have a 69 z/28 x33 car and I pulled the rear seat out and the X is clear but 3 barely even there. is there a way to enhance the marking with color light or something to clean the splatter of spray adhesive off to make it better to document with photos that won't damage the markings at all..

thanks for your help!!

Bill.

If you start cleaning it up, it won't be the way it came from the factory.  Listen to x77-69z28...

"Unmolested" means something in the classic car world.

Update, 

Rich Pern at camaros.net gave the suggestion of low light and take digital with flash so I tried that and it did work.  I also have what appears to be a larger B or maybe even a larger 3 to the left of the x3 marking.  any idea what this is or am I just seeing things.  will try to post a couple of these pics so you may be able to see what I am talking about.

thanks, Bill.

Since those came across thumbnail size and the original is too large I cut out the area but left same quality of one so you can see better.

B = Blue, Black, or Brown??    ???   Is the car's original color blue, black, or brown?

Yes, I would agree it is a "B"

Congrats Bill, just passing on what others taught me. One LM1 car I had, had a X1 Grn on the back bulkhead. It was a green interior car. Seems like the interior color, or first few letters was commonly on the rear bulkhead.
