General Discussion / Sherwin Williams Ultra 7000 opinions?

« on: March 08, 2017, 01:04:20 AM »

What information I've read says the S/W Ultra 7000 is way better than their Dimension line of paint, but is it something that stacks up against PPG or DuPont? It's hard to have any opinion on paints unless you are spraying paint on a fairly regular basis and have the opportunity to really see how they stack up against one another.  Thanks for any thoughts that can be provided on this!

There are quite a few April DZ's with NO vin stamps... My old V0409DZ had none anywhere and since then I have talked to multiple people with early April DZ's without VIN stamps ANYWHERE.

Out of curiosity, are the DZ's missing VIN stamps from a particular date range, or is it all over the place?

Thanks so much for the info/help guys. After the paint was stripped off, it still took getting the right lighting to pick up the VIN stamp numbers. Didn't realize how difficult it would be to actually see the stamping.

Okay thanks fellas. I'll have to see what happens once we get to stripping the paint off.

Also forgot to mention the VIN is stamped on the transmission which makes it strange to me that it wouldn't be on the engine. The  block number was stamped on the engine.

I know the engine stamping moved from the front pad to the pad by the oil filter after December 1968.

If I am not seeing the stamping by the oil filter on a 302 block that was assembled in April 1969, is it possible Norwood forgot to stamp the pad? The paint has not been stripped off yet, but it doesn't even appear to be in the spot. Is it possible that they forgot to stamp it, or they stamped it elsewhere?
