Marcos Maniacs

Larry,
Thank you for the details on the metal chassis. I will take a close look at mine since it is all apart. I will report my findings from my search.
Regards
Mark

On the left top frame rail, near the aft upper suspension arm attach weldment, is a steel stamped chassis no. I don't know if the factory used this means of identification on the wood chassis cars do not, but you might have a look.

So first question, in looking at the NA registry I see there are two 3L's near me. Gary Fulcher in MN and Dale Dykema in Chicago. I would like to make contact with either of these owners and see if we could meet to look over their cars? I would gladly travel to either location for a visit. Since there is not much written or much of a manual on these cars. As they say pictures are worth a thousand words. I would also like to take photos as my memory is getting shorter by the day.

When doing the clean up on the front aluminum around the engine bay, above the right motor mount, the aluminum is stamped with another number, is that a body number?
