    Default Any Interesting Markings on Your Front Bumper Impact Bar or Anywhere Else?

    When I removed front fascia, I found the number "35" written on steel bumper. Since my car had the tu tone paint and "35" is the second paint color, I figured it was put there as a reminder to add second color but that's only a guess. I asked an FEP member who worked on a Ford assembly line and he said workers wrote different things on parts as reminders, so thought I'd ask if anyone else has found markings on their impact bars or anywhere else on their cars during disassembly?

    My old 79 had the date 7-10-79 and #33 on the top of the core support. I am guessing it was the 33rd car off the line that day.

    From under the dash pad.

    Maybe three individuals were involved in some way: K Bloch, N Martinez, C Casielano. K Bloch caught my eye, because I used to work with a guy named Ken Bloch. Not the same guy. Martinez is a common name, but what about Casielano (if that is what I am seeing). Using a Spanish to English translator, it means "almost year." ???? (I don't know any Spanish.)
