I recently acquired this copy of an original design of the 66 GT 350 door sill plate tag. It was drawn by a Mr. Kerr who apparently worked under Peter Brock. It was signed off and approved by a young project manager named C. Cantwell. Chuck Cantwell signed off on it 7/6/65. It might be helpful to this conversation because it shows a lot of dimensions and even the raised areas that they designed into the plate. Under the material to be use section, it says "foil with adhesive backing". The sample in the lower left corner is smooth but I believe it was just a test sample.



Thanks for sharing, this information helps makes sense of the two versions seen in the production run. The early (7/65) version was a more intricate and therefor more expensive then the later two line. This fits with how the later cars in 66 loose many of the 65 and earlier 66 features.
