RE: Alert, there may be a new Max-Wedge Rebody



Well Bill, if that's all they do then there still is the package 
shelf.There is alledgedly a third set of numbers elsewhere on the 
body,but I've parted a few cars over the years and I've yet to notice 
them.I would suspect behind the dash on the underside of the cowl to be 
a good place;somewhere that wouldn't be undercoated.I've checked that 
area extensively.

A guy over on moparts said he already reported the seller to the cops.

Darrell Davis can track the VIN down from the SO,he has ALL the numbers 
for every Maxie car.Basically they're cross-referenced.I didn't look at 
the auction to see if the SO is legible on the BS or FT.
