Robert,
Regarding the weld bead at the front bottom lip of the rear wing (where it
meets the rocker panel). I also have a 76, and have removed the wings. I
also encountered this welded bead in the same location as you described. As
you, I also wondered whether this meant the wing had been removed,
classifying the previous owner as a DPO for not indicating that pieces had
been removed from the car. After reading your post, I can now feel
confident that the weld bead was simply meant to allow quick alignment of
the wing prior to bolting it up. Whether this is correct or not, I'm going
with it.

Hi LisTeRs:
One more question about the rear wing replacement on my 76 Tr-6. Now
that I am just about ready to bolt them back on. When I removed them.
There was 1 small welded bead where the front lower section meets the
rocker panel (had to grind the weld to remove them). Is this a factory
weld? Or just another reason to call the PO a DPO?
Thanks Bob - In Mass.
PS: Thanks for all the help. This list is incredible
