1969 Hockey Stripe
 

I am trying to find out the correct layout on the 1969 Camaro correct Hockey Stripe. I know that the front fenders are painted on and the doors back are stickers. Here is what I am not sure about. Where the 396 emblem goes on the front fender, is there supposed to be a break in the stripe or is the stripe supposed to be solid and the 396 emblem goes over the painted stripe? I have seen a bunch of pictures both ways and am not sure which is correct.

Any help getting this figured out would be great.

Re: 1969 Hockey Stripe
 

The stripe SHOULD have the break for the engine ID. Also, there are several parts suppliers that sell a proper stencil kit to paint the fender portions. I've seen too many shadetree hockeysticks that look more like a broadsword or a snake that swallowed a rat. They're almost always TOO FAT. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif Also, early cars had the fender portion extended onto the lower fender extension. I'm sure I can find some pics. Let me look.

Re: 1969 Hockey Stripe
 

The car was built in October, 4th week.

Here's a decent photo for you to check out.

Re: 1969 Hockey Stripe
 

Awesome, thanks for the info and pics.

Re: 1969 Hockey Stripe
 

Here are a couple of decent side views of the stipes. The pictures are in bad lighting but you can see the stripes decent.

Re: 1969 Hockey Stripe
 

Sorry guys. I'm not sure why they didn't work, but it looks like you have all ready posted some other good examples. My 1969 SS/RS 396 is posted in the members ride section under my username if you want to take a look at it for a few more examples. Jesse

Re: 1969 Hockey Stripe

I have pasted a link to my survivor car which has the early (built 9B of 68) extended stripe. If my memory serves me the stripe shortedin Nov of 68. BTW my car has the original paint.

Hi Steve,

Got a question for you. Did you ever take a close-up image
of the D/90 striping detailing the "longer" early version?
The reason I ask is that my car was built 10-D-68 and I
thought the stripes we repainted on were different than what
was originally on the car. No one knew this information
back in 1981. I'm primarily interested in the section from
the 396 emblem down to the bottom, if possible.

Also, what did the deck lid striker plate look like? Was
is painted, or silver Cad plated? I'm really sorry you and
I couldn't hook-up a few years ago when I wanted to get out
on the Island and see this car in person. It would have
put a lot of questions to rest for me. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/headbang.gif

You know, I used to hate this color combination and opted
for what I have: Hugger Orange w/ black vinyl & D90 stripes.
However, as time has gone by, I have become more and more
fond of the HO & white vinyl & D90 stripes. What does that
say? Getting old? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif

One other question about this image. This car has the
1/4 louver chrome inserts, so why doesn't it have bright
drip rail molding?

Re: 1969 Hockey Stripe
 

The striker was installed prior to painting the trunk lid (norwood built), therefore it is body color. Regarding the stripe, I will look for better pics but my car is in a car bag for the winter. The stripe extends an additional 1 inch. I will send you some close ups in the spring. I may bring the car to the All GM/Camaro nationals June 23-25, lets hook up then.

Steve,

This was exactly the scanario we ran into years ago about
the "shake-n-bake bag" and winter storage. When you
finally pulled it out of the bag, you sold it. My timing
was a little off. I hope to see it in person this time.

Lastly, I hope you can locate those images. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

Good eye...It SHOULD have the drip rail mouldings as well.

Re: 1969 Hockey Stripe
 

The stripe extended onto the fender ext at least thru mid November of 68. My car has this and the build date was 11B. It had the original paint on it when I purchased it in 1980. 6 cylinder with hockey stripe did not have a break in the stripe for engine designation, only V8's.

Re: 1969 Hockey Stripe
 

Mike,

Can you get a close-up image of the front fender detail
and post it here? I'm primarily interested in the detail
from the engine displacement emblem down to the bottom.

Re: 1969 Hockey Stripe
 

The factory assembly manual shows the stripe extending down onto the fender extension. I lost my hobbystage site with all my pictures so I'll have to dig to show you the detail in that area.

Re: 1969 Hockey Stripe
 

Here is an ad from late 69 showing the stripe extending on to the fender extension.

Re: 1969 Hockey Stripe
 

The ad doesn't show any pinstriping. The black stripe on white would make the pinstripe stand out. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/confused.gif

Re: 1969 Hockey Stripe
 

That ad does show pinstriping.
It's just difficult to see on a computer.
In that ad,they extend on to the lower fender,as well as the pinstripping closest to the bumper is unbroken and set back farther on the fender then previously posted pix.

Re: 1969 Hockey Stripe
 

Does anyone own or know of an original paint 69 Camaro with the extended hockeysticks? I've only ever seen them in factory photos, ads, etc. I'd like to see if the fender extention portion was painted before or after it was bolted to the fender. You'd think if it was stenciled and painted after it was already bolted to the fender bottom there would likely be a poor edge where the stencil would have to pass over the fender to extention gap, but then again if they were painted before they were bolted up they'd be a real pain or near impossible to try and line up the stripes accurately. It's no wonder they were done away with on most production examples.

Any thoughts on how these "extended" fender protions of hockeystick stripes may have been applied at the factory? Or if they were ever even applied at the factory?

The cars we're seeing in ads etc. may have been early production press/demo vehicles not built exactly as the factory would later gear up to do them. I can't say I've ever seen an original extended hockeystick in person, but I'd like to. Anyone got a bona fide example? Good resto topic here...

Not necessarily. All Camaro SS had the louvers as part of SS equipment, the reason why there is an X55 and X66. If the car was not built with Z21 the wheel opening moldings were added.

Re: 1969 Hockey Stripe
 

I posted a link to my orig paint car with extended stripe, and Jonesy has a pic as well in his post.

Re: 1969 Hockey Stripe
 

Steve, I forgot about your car as an example of original paint and the extended stripes...and I even remember looking at the car in person at past GM Carlisle events, I'd just never taken note of the stripes.

Does it look as if they were stenciled all at once, fender and all or separately? Is there any bleed or loose edge on the stripe as it passes over the fender to extention seam?

Also, William you're correct...I should have said IF it has wheel well mouldings it should have drip rail as well, as they were part of the same Style Trim package. Never should you have drip rail and no wheel well, or wheel well and no drip rail mouldings, but the quarter gills were included separately as part of the X66 package as well as the rocker sill blackout which was also included with Style Trim.

Sorry if I've confused anyone...back to discussuing correct hockeystick stripes.

Re: 1969 Hockey Stripe
 

Interesting thread! I have a 10D (early) base 69 convertible and I am going to put the D90s on. Should I extend the stripe like Steve's car?

According to Steve's analysis, your car should have the
extended stripes, unless there is another factor. Does
anyone know if the extended stripe could have been
associated with one particular assembly plant? I for one
would like to know if all early cars had this extended
stripe regardless of where they were built? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Steve, where was your L/34 built?

Mike, where was your Camaro built?

Does anyone else have, or did you have, an early build car
with the extended stripes? If you did, would you possibly
remember the assembly plant? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/hmmm.gif

This is a great topic.

Steve

Re: 1969 Hockey Stripe
 

My car is a Norwood built car. I believe it was common to both plants.

Re: 1969 Hockey Stripe

I hope you don't mind me posting this picture of your Camaro
and it's Original owner you posted awhile ago.
Just like it!. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif

Re: 1969 Hockey Stripe
 

That picture was taken in July of 2000 at the Monmouth County Fair in NJ. The orig owner shown was a parks commissioner and in charge of that event. That was the first time he had seen the car in 19 years. He is pictured with the weird hub caps. The day before the car was at the Camaro National @ Carlisle being judged in the Vintage Certification program. Anyone interested in our survivor class certification program please contact me.

Re: 1969 Hockey Stripe
 

My car is LOS built 11B. It also shouws the stripe extending down in the factory assembly manual.
