Restoration / 1969 convertible trunk floor

« on: October 14, 2006, 02:15:13 AM »

there are small round dents located in the back of my trunk floor roughly in the area where the traverse muffler is located. These are randomly located . Are these from the factory or just damage from almost 40 years of use? I thought i saw the same marks on the trunk floor of an e-bay picture. I need to replace the trunk floor and am wondering if i need to duplicate them. thanks

Restoration / Engine numbers

« on: January 05, 2006, 02:31:51 AM »

I have 1969 SS convertible, 396 4-speed. The engine is a 325hp L-35. The partial vin is correct on the lower part of the block as well as the engine numbers on the front pad. My question is when the engine is sent out to the machine shop, if the block is decked and the engine numbers are removed will this effect the proof I need to prove originality? Or will the partial vin be all that is needed.
Thanks
