    The outside of the saddle bags were all painted body color, what does that have to do with anything. The number I am talking about was put on at Flint Final Assembly by Buick (not GMAD), and was used to sequence the parts so they all made it onto the correct car as they went down the line.

    I have not seen any numbers like that on a GMAD car. And don't even get me started about my 69 GMAD Oshawa car, those marking were put on at totally different locations.

    When we remove the "Rockhard" coating from the firewall & fender liner tops, the "chalking" (white) was on the firewall in 2 locations. What did I do? instead of recording the letters & location, painted over them.

    Didn't even realize I picked up the crayon mark on this car. Probably a partial 6. it was a granny 4 door 70 with original heater hoses. And yes I grabbed the short hose bracket for $5.

    My 72 convertible had a lot of markings and tags. This is the firewall picture of the D and it had all it's original brake parts. There was a paper tag on the vacuum line and the dot on the booster.

    Here are my markings I reapplied exactly on my 71 GS 350 4 speed car in 2008.

    I know it looks perfect and bright but it did fade a little, photo from 2014.

    Here is an old photo of my GSX when it was being restored. Admittedly it is not a great photo, but you can just make out the D for the brakes, but as hard as I look, I cannot see any traces of QQ. Is it conceivable that there was no paint code applied to the firewall, or am I just not able to discern any traces of the code?
