Update,
Rich Pern at camaros.net gave the suggestion of low light and take digital with flash so I tried that and it did work. I also have what appears to be a larger B or maybe even a larger 3 to the left of the x3 marking. any idea what this is or am I just seeing things. will try to post a couple of these pics so you may be able to see what I am talking about.
thanks, Bill.
