1968 Z28 COWL COLOR

[67L78conv]

These are some shots from an 04D LOS special paint 68Z that was at Carlisle this year. Original paint and most components still on the car. Looks to me like the area under the cowl is all black gloss same as stripe color on this one as well.

Hope it helps.

Which after looking at your profile, turns out as being yours. Have a few others in my unrestored archive discs, will try and dig them up for you.

The mcneish 67-68 Camaro book has several photos of original LA cowls in it.

Yes his book does and it shows that the cowl does not get painted from side to side. It shows the paint stopping well short of the pinch welds

it is clear that they do though, so take his book with a grain of salt

Someone has his mind made up. Very critical I will say PTB on a LOS car I think not

PTB is NOT correct on a VN car, that was already stated

Hey Jim,

Was that your Z11 in the pictures you posted? If so, do you have any close up pictures of the cowl before the restoration?

Thanks!

Also ironic all the pics of it clear across are quite shiny. Being lacquer paint and that GM never colour sanded this area makes me wonder .

no, we did a lot of the cars in the late 70's & 80's

never thought to take pictures of the steps

but finding cars in bone yards it was ez to determine what the car was by the stripe color on the cowl of the VN cars (or lack of)
