Default 1971 Frame Stencil

Does anyone have a pic they can post of the frame stenciled for a 1971? I'm going to put the stencil on and want to be sure where to place it on the frame. Thanks

I thought the stencil was further back towards the rear of the frame? Maybe Alan will chime in on this one. I'm sure he has photos of his...

Hi,
I believe the frame stencil was further back in 1971.
It moved forward, but I'm not sure what year.
Here's my original. You can locate the aproxmate position by the hole in the frame.
Regards,
Alan

Remember it's upside down as you look at it with the car on it's wheels.


As read


As you see it.


The paint was put on with a roller, not sprayed

Here's a pic of my 71's frame which should give you a good idea of where the stencil is located.
