Very good observation, one question, the piece of broadcast sheet that i did find with the vin # on it, has the V78 option which is accent stripe delete.
I know that was required for A57 cars, but i guess you could have done it on a formula car if you wanted ?
I am supposed to be talking with the original owners brother tonight, he knows the car since 1976 when his brother that owned the car brought it hear to Georgia in 1976 , and his sister was the original owner, so i believe he can shed some light on the matter, didn't have time to look for another broadcast sheet today.
Thanks for all your help.
Blessings, Frank
