Here's another original photo from early 1970. Very interesting indeed. At the Camaro Nationals in 2004 I was docked 10 points in the 1000 point class for what they considered to be improper widths on the pinstripes that surround the racing stripes. They thought the pinstripe and the gap should be the same width. (You cant argue with judges) After the show I emailed them the original factory blueprints that we used to paint the stripes. These are the schematics in the 1969 assembly manual. They document a different width for the stripe and the gap. The judges said that the original cars they have inspected had the same width. Well, here is my car in 1970 with its original paint and even from 50 feet away you can tell that the gap is wider than the pinstripe. The judging staff is supposedly trying to iron out the issue in time for the 2005 show.
