This, was NOT acid dipped, it was stamped this way. Never seen one before or after.

Landy probably had that special ordered from Chrysler engineering...I wonder if any of the other factory teams got one of those lightweight K-Members. (I know a few years earlier the A/FX teams were using lightweight K-members as well, but they were prone to cracking.)
