Default Re: Z28 Stripes - 69

Mike it was an honor to be able to take so many photos and have unrestricted access to the car for 5 years... you don't realize how great a resource it is until it is no longer.... thank God I have thousands of photos... I literally set the cam on the highest res and set it for burst and held it under the dash at all angles and under the car at every angle and let it rattle off hundreds I am so glad I did...

I have every possible stripe end shot...

How bout this factory tape job on the 51k mile Lemans Blue one I am currently restoring...
Check out the lower left hand side of the photo... anyone remember John saying the cowl grilles were hung by hooks? think they used new ones everytime? Well when they reused the hooks paint built up and eventually could remain on one of the panels...



Lets see which colors chipped off...hmmm garnet red, rally green, daytona yellow, cortez silver...
