ahh..now I understand his question. I will check. My clean barn will never be the same with all the crap that blew out the exhaust after sitting for 36 years.

Charley,

Definitely the most useful 2nd gen info I have seen anywhere. Maybe you and Macneish oughta consider a "Definitive 2nd Generation Z/28" book for the non-computer literate...

I plan on putting up a website with bigger pics so people can refer to them if they want info on how this one was put together. I'm really comfortable with how orig this car is from what I am seeing and the history of it. Yes there are some pics that people could care less about but some of the stuff is very helpful when trying to sort a car out that has been messed with for 39 years.

I have a photo of another hinge I have in my photos with this blue paint mark.
Anyone ever see this on a first generation Camaro ?
I am assuming it was a vendor thing and not done on the line. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif
Or was it a line thing an inspector did after the hood was adjusted.
Neat thread, I don't think your boring anyone yet Charley. More https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/laugh.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

The blue paint mark on the pass side is a common item on the second gen hood hinge. I havent seen them on the driver's side though.

Re: really cool 70 Z28..simply the best.
 

Mine has the identical paint marks on both sides.

You can see that the paint mark was applied with the hood open, then after closing the hood, the paint ran down the hinge.

The blue dripped paint flow could also have come from when the manufacturer made them and hung them upside down.

Does anyone have a definitive explanation of whether these were an assembly line or a manufacturer's inspection mark???
