Default Re: Information/history of a 72 Motion Camaro in N

I have seen two or three variations of stripe designs while browsing images on the 'net. From what I can tell, if there is one large single stripe on the hood, and (sometimes) one down the roof centerline of equal width, then onto the trunk where it is spread out onto the fenders and then forward to a point along the side.
If there are twin stripes (ALA Z-28) then the variation is what we have on Scott's Camaro. The trunk stripe is split because it started out as a twin-stripe Z-28 but the sides are the same, to a point behind the front wheelwell. I have also seen a third design on the L88 hood but have not seen any detailed pics of how the trunk striping is finished as of yet.

Right now I'm searching for another Camaro on the 'net with the same paint on the trunk as Scotts....

Here is Scott's trunk, from a better angle.

MOTION emblem. Apparently when the car was repainted the pins on the back were broken off so some idiot drilled 'em and used screws to reinstall.

I don't ever recall seeing MOTION emblems with pins...are those perhaps casting gates?
I had a friend who didn't want to use tape to hold the emblems on so he ran two screws in the emblem...one through the center of each "O".

There are holes under the rocker panels under the doors, most likely for side pipes. Here is a pic of the remnants from a welded on bracket. I'll get a better picture later. It's kinda hard to get under the car when it's parked in an enclosed trailer!

Ansen used to make bars like that, I think Scuncio even put them on some of their cars. I am not 100% sure those are Ansen bars though.
