Frame v.i.n, Play-do worked....
A few weeks ago I tried using a small mirror and a flashlight to see the vin number stamped on the frame of my 58 but I couldn't see a thing.
Today my daughter asked me..." daddy, can I play with some play-doh"?
I went to get her the play-doh and thought,maybe I can try using the play-doh to get a impression of the Vin..

What a great idea, I will have to try that on my '66. I can't seem to find it with a mirror.

Fixed! I bet that's the way it REALLY happened!

I did the same thing using fiberglass filler on a wooden paint stirrer.
