well i got thinkin.....what if he held the back side of the tag up to a mirror.....could he read it then?
or placed a paper over tag and sketched over it with a pencil?
Take a reasonably high res picture of the back and use software to flip it. Very simple to do.........

Why take the paint off, just read it from the back, very easy. You don't have to be a scientist to do it..........I've used a glass bead blaster to remove paint/rust on several. Good luck let us know what ya got there!
I'm the CARETAKER of Weinstats '69 440 'cuda registry and have 104 of the 360 cars to date. 84 fastbacks/20 coupes. Always looking for new(REAL M-code) '69 440 'cudas to add to the registry so drop me a note if any are found or known. This isn't a publicly released registry. Thanks, Dave

1) the mirror trick then flip works well
2) why not just strip it?
3) I'm sure bead blasting would work, but I would chemically strip it myself
