[QUOTE=platato]Here's a pic that Carl came across of a 69 having the body and frame mated. Thank you sir! Keep em coming guys!
This photo has always fascinated me. My '69 has a build date of 11-8 (P08) and is optioned very similarly to the one in the photo (near as I can tell). It was originally silver in color and that car could be that color. So I wonder...
But weren't the build dates stamped at the time the bodies were being painted?
Guess I need a hobby...
