Hi guys,
Is this crease a factory press mark?

If so is it on all models? I ask because the other side doesn't have it. The other side is off another car.
I do how ever have a dip there. Is that a dent?

I have just read that in '73 they made a change to the radiator support. Maybe this is it?
Any info appreciated.
Cheers

Hi

The '73 change in that area is hidden under the bonnet catch plate.

Can someone pm me the 73 change. Then I can decide whether to change it or not.
I'll fix that dent up, make a couple of alterations to chassis rails then re-paint.
Thanks guys
Marty

Definitely a factory thing Marty.
Both my lj's have the crease on the drivers side.
Does anyone know if the reproduction radiator support panels have the crease in them?
