[Healeys] Chassis Numbers

[Dan Stromquist]

They put that number on the shock tower for the midgets who would go head
over ass trying to see the number in the engine bay.  Have a good weekend
everyone.

There have been many cars that we have replaced shock plates or  
restored that there has been a number stamped on the top of the tower  
in front of the shock plate. Sometimes it is right on the weld of the  
shock plate.
