I dont have a clear photo, but I think it is Kerrwin

Im confident on the “RRWIN” but not so much on the beginning of the name

Three examples of last names starting with "K" from NJ. These are all from 66 production

Top two appears to be the same regular inspector - Bottom appears to be a different regular inspector

The top one looks like "KRRWIN"?  Don't see an "E"  ???

Nothing before the "K" or after the "N".

Someone should go on a mission to track down old plant workers. I think I have about ten names.

No takers on the project?

I have seen a “PAINT OK SZABO”

This cant be a coincidence:   https://veteransfuneralcare.com/obituary/Stephen-Pete-Szabo

I bet there is an interesting story waiting for followup.

Mine say "Paint OK - Adam".

I can't tell you how many people got Pee O'd when they saw them on my car?  Quite a few. That's before most were talking about them.

Mine is a '68 Hertz car which in some small ways are a little different then the other '68s. When it was completely original, other "experts" would come up to me telling me that it was all wrong and not a real Shelby.

Looks like I have "Adam" also.

Well, I must admit, that was actually a failed attempt.

It looks more like "SZARO" with an "R"
