: : :The "serial number" can be found near the left front body mounting hole, and is stamped on the top of the frame.If it is still legible, you can tell what month the car was built by comparing the number with the information regarding monthly assembly figures.

: : Comment from Rick Black:
: : The date of assembly CANNOT be exactly determined from the number stamped on top of the frame.That only indicates the date of manufacture of the ENGINE first installed in the frame, and they were typically 1-3 months BEFORE the car was assembled.MAFCA/MARC judging standards point this out.However, it IS the best way to determine the approximate date the car was assembled.Just don't believe you can pinpoint the date based on that number.

: I wasn't making reference to the "date of assembly".He asked how to find the "serial number".A little jumpy, aren't you?

Now kids, no fighting :-).Seriously though, all the feedback has been great.Being new to the hobby everyone that has provided feedback had been very helpful.Expect to see my name again as I'm sure I will uncover more questions as the resto progresses.Thanks again for the the help so far.This board is great!Gary
