The other interesting detail is regardless of early/late the SJ one were butt ugly stick welded on  If you look at the picture of the 68 NJ car I posted they are nicely spot welded on.
That was one of the reasons I was looking for pictures as mine looks like welded by 2 year old. I guess that correct  :-\
