 It has the new nose, fenders, forced fresh air system and plenum, vent slots
 on the C pillars, rear fenders...  What surprised me was that Id think it
 easier and cheaper to just make ONE door for all 3 models and one rocker
 assy... they did change the base frame some, but not entirely,

Yah, I noticed that too.I do agree that it would have been simpler and 
cheaper to use 1 door for all models. I too never understood why they kept them 
different. I wonder if the rocker has a tube in it for the wiring harness, or if 
they use the indented one like the later car do. The floor heater outlets don't 
really interfere with the indent, so does anybody with a late Notch know 
(that's doing a resto).
