Default 63 C2 spot welded Vin tag

Does anyone have a picture of an original spot welded 63 Vin tag?

Looks like that one has been played with, look at the grind marks fron the middle of the tag, and the lack of 63-64 grind marks at the sides of the tag, I have never seen one so close to the trim tag??

The car jiggled on the assembly line. You will notice it only fired when it hit the mark. There is a double mark farther up in this thread.Go tell the guys at NCRS it's fishy. Thats where I got it from.

Here's one. Lousy pic, sorry. Some have one spot weld on each end, some have two.

No correlation, early vs. late. If 2 spots held it (one on each side), it was OK.

If the guy thought he needed a few more, he zapped it again.

I've never seen more than 2 per side, however. (4 total).
