Where are the vin stamp locations on the frame of a convertible?

Under the driver's feet and top of the frame between rear wheels and end of frame.

I really should take more time off from work.I got quite a bit done this holiday.Media blasted and sanded the axle housing/pumpkin,and suspension parts yesterday.I didn’t start shooting primer till 9:00 last night.2 coats of ppg dp90 primer and 2 coats of color this morning.Cleaning the garage then I’m taking the rest of the day off.

I found this stamp after blasting.AX is 3.08.I spun the hub just over 3 revolutions to get 1 out of the pinion.The 11 16 is the assembly date which is a week after the casting date.
Thanks Bob for having the info posted so even a newly like me can figure this stuff out.
