I wonder how many people walked by that 356 in the years before he saved it... how many walked by and thought "junk, not worth it"... whoops!

I just read where the frames were chronologically stamped, but then when it came time to put the body on, they just grabbed whatever frame off the shelf, so they may very well have grabbed 004 first then later 003 (depending on the oder they were stacked I suppose).

It would be interesting to hear more.
