Not sure what you did on trunk weatherstrip but Beater had a amazingly nice original 1968 Weatherstip, I saved it for a better cause and replaced it with a repop if you want ill take a picture this weekend post it up and if you decide you want it I would be happy to donate it to the cause.

They look like an ink stamp put on by the original oem assembly supplier. I believe they where shipped to GM assemblied and the line workers bolted them to the axle assembly.

Those stamps on the brake adjuster levers will come off in Evaporust etc, so be careful if you want to preserve them.

Thank you. As you can imagine this was done in respect for the man and the machine.

Well aware and yes they are ink stamped.. There are tricks that I have not discussed. You have to damage or lose markings to realize how to prevent it from happening. Example is the driveshaft stripes. Thankfully I took pics of before and during the process.
