    Ghosts of the Restoration

    I thought I would share with you all a couple of really neat things we found during the restoration of my '66. Damon at Series900 is a real expert with a passion for SWB cars, and a delicate touch when it comes to stripping to bare metal!

    Photo #1- if you strip the factory undercoating off you can see the original ink stamp on the steel floor pan, in the center of the tunnel. I THINK this is the logo of Rohrwerke-Maxhutte? See attached. It could also refer to the stamping plant of Maximilianshuette, in Unterwellenborn, Thuringia, Germany. (Now called Stahlwerk Thuringen)



    Photo #2-- the left-over wire from the factory's MIG welding when the body was assembled. For most cars this has long, long since rusted away.

    Enjoy! What other "ghosts" are out there, things you NEVER see?
