There are more things in those photos that are correct than are incorrect. For starters, the first thing I noticed are the runway stripes. Almost every Z/28 clone I see, and sometimes even real restored Z/28s, the runway stripes are incorrect. Even the one's on my 67 clone are incorrect and I made the painter buy the stencils. The correctness of Redneck's stripes I have only seen on real Z/28s.

I was going to bow out of this conversation but I keep reading things that make wonder how. How can you tell by pictures if things are correct? The stripes are correct? How?

Obviously the stripes you see were not applied at the factory. Look at the picture he posted of the car at his sisters wedding in 1986. No stripes and a 1969 cowl hood to boot. Someone painted the stripes on the car later on in life. So you are absolutely sure they are correct by the picture?

Matter of fact with the amount of parts missing from the picture I would say it looks freshly painted.

Don't get me wrong, I think the car is very nice and should be enjoyed for what it is not for what it might be.
