Factory Numbers Vin and Radiator Support
On a Mustang, Ford stamped their parts and panels offering a variety of numbers that reveal location and date codes of the production process. For example, when a mustang was made they would mark it to the skid that it would go through the plant on. A worker would mark it in ink (which would be under paint and over time would rust and show)
It is on main cowl on left passenger side of panel by radiator and battery.
