On the picture of that Lemans blue ZL1 it appears that the sides of the cowl hood are painted white. Was this a factory job, or dealer paint. Really like it, just trying to find out who did it. Thanks, Ken S.

Ken, that was done by the dealer so as to help make the car more appealing. It does look good as I had done a 68 RS that way once back in the late 80's. If you notice the dealer also added a pin stripe to the top of the hood in the same position as the outside edge of a Z28 stripe. I think I may still have a picture of that car showing the pinstriping on the hood plus the decklid. It looked like someone was going to apply Z28 stripes and only did a pinstripe outline. Not really that appealing but still a neat car.

Look closely and you will see that the dealer added the 66 Impala 427 crossed-flag emblems to the fenders and the 67 Vette 427 emblems to the hood......................RatPack................

Ken, here is a picture of that 68 RS that I painted the sides of the scoop on the hood. It had an 1/8" black pinstripe around it with the same amount of body color between the pinstripe and the stripe body. It really set the hood off and made the scoop appear longer................RatPack..................... .

Thanks for the info, and the pics. I really like that look. We have a 67 project that we may start this winter, and might do something like that on the hood. Maybe a little lace inlay, or airbrushed herringbone. I'm a sucker for that late 60's look. Ken S

I see someone else has a set of those American 2 bar spinners !!! They look nice

Ken, I am a "Day 2" person all the way. I do restorations as a business but occasionally I get to do a car the way the first owner modified it. As a matter of fact I am doing one right now, a 67 327 4spd, Cragars, Sun tach & gauges, Traction Masters, etc. I will take a set of Cragars or Torque-Thrusts over a set of stock wheels any day!

Belair62, that was the first set of those spinners I had ever owned and I could not stand them on that car. I was getting ready to install the std center caps and I sold the car. When the guy came back to get the car he saw the std caps sitting on the work bench and asked if he could have those instead of the spinners. So I traded him. I think they are still around here somewhere, or they may be at my parents' house.....................RatPack................. ....

I think they date to 1963 or so...I have an NOS set....can't figure out what to put them on though. They don't look too bad on a Camaro.

Maybe I need to dig those out and put them up for sale? I need a new pair of shoes anyway..................RatPack................
