Even if he was a young punk 18 yo kid back then, he would be pretty old these days.

When I restored my 68 Charger in 1993 I sharpied Tim and Missi were here and whatever the date was in many places insdie the car. even inside the instrument cluster, LOL. Somewhere down the road, someone is going to wonder who in the h-ll Tim and Missi were 🤣🤣
just as we are wondering who Rock was or what it meant. Apparently worked on the line and had enough spare time to chalk his name? on which is a bit surprising. Any idea as to which plant?

It depends on who is thinking about age, I have seen many people who at 60 yrs. Old acted and looked like they were dyeing within the next week, others that don't do that.
I am 78 now and I'm planning on racing and building cars until I can't, I've heard many people say are you really that old when they ask me and I tell them how old I am. shruggy
We determine how we feel and act to a certain extent, my body is not as good as it use to be, I probably shouldn't have abuse it as much as I did but I can't fix that now so I deal with it and don't dwell on the pains and the things that use to work better like my hearing, WHAT whistling shruggy

It is one of about 250 cars painted FJ6(total production) I wonder how many different paint colors each plant would paint in a shift? I know they mixed the car models as they went down the assembly line. Divide that across all the plants and the # is not that many per shift. My guess is they put it there to easily ID it as it went down the line. It's from the Windsor plant and if anyone else has a 1971 car painted FJ6 I wonder if they have any similar markings. Found a interesting (long) read about how a Superbird was built as it went down the assemble line. At least they could have put a mopar in the pic instead of a Mustang. shake_head linky
