Gents,
Look close. There are markings on the bare steel of the passenger side of my radiator support.
Again your choices of how to build this car comes into conflict. If you want to build it into a clone then you'll need to ignore and not reproduce these on the finished car
If you look at the thread on my 69 Boss 302 you will see how I chose to reproduce them - like originally done - under the engine compartment black
Question: is there some trick that I can do to make these markings stand out so they are clear?

Multiple angles using something like Photoshop adjusting the contrast all the way up and the darkness all the way down then moving the darkness to the light a little at a time. As it passes through different stages different parts of the markings were come into view. Then lessen the contrast and do it again in 4-5 steps.
If you choose you over lay a layer and mark highlights as you go through the process then come back and complete each line in a different color (so that each is an individual rather than a predetermined shape since sometimes these can be two or more markings one over the other or intersecting
Once done. look at the area from a distance, rotate the area and try and figure out what you have captured
Works well for me just takes time
In these areas (as discussed before in other threads) you can find second or first rotation numbers. Over or under black will help determine which is which. Interior code, exterior paint code, sometimes options or features depending on year and plant. Some plants and time periods there appears there was nothing applied.
