Leroy,
Well, I got under the car after I got home today and took a look. There is no hump or raised area I could feel. Took another look at my old photos too and did not see anything. I replaced the floors in the car and made the cut along the inside edge of the innermost of the 3 ribs so maybe it got cut out if it was that far out?? If it "looked" like a dent that could have come from driving over something rather than a stamped in feature with edges I may have hammered it flat too. Its only been about 13yrs ago I did the floor work there! Seems to me if it sticks up into the car 1-1/2 inches it would be pretty noticeable. I am going to say I am 80% certain my car did/does not have it.
With #26 I bet your car does not have any lead filler on the C piller or by the seam near the trunk hinges. I have seen at least 2 cars I think like that. One was a fairly rusty but complete champion C body with very faded original paint. Don't know what body number it was tho. That was in '94 and the guy who had it sold it along with a '60 hawk shell.
