Title: 1968 Z/28 Cowl Area & Paint Stripe
Post by: dannystarr on July 02, 2021, 01:13:40 PM

Looking for pictures of the cowl area on an O2B LOS '68 Z/28. Need shots of an original car if possible showing the area paint in wiper trans area and overspray at the firewall edge etc. And top of cowl & Hood stripe detail. I know some things are different on an Van Nuys car. Thanx... Danny

Is yours white striped or black. Mine is 02E black & I have picture from another 02E car with white stripes. Both LA & both finished 3/13/1968...Joe

You can do that or I can post it here. I will say the car has never been apart so it will only show how it should be when completed...Joe

It's not the greatest picture. I had to have Sheri take a picture of the picture on her cell phone...Joe

Danny - My friend's 1968 Z28 was BRG and I remember that you could see white over spray in the wiper area.  I believe the Z28 was built at Van Nuys as it came from Harry Mann Chevrolet in Los Angeles, but we never took notice of the trim tag. - Mark

Joe,
 Just pop the wipers, nut driver the small bolts and pull it? I have done it about 8 times now on several cars, less than 5 minutes.  ;) 

 SOMEBODY has to have some pictures like my example. Danny

It's not my car. I'm in Tucson & he's near Flint. The car is in storage until they can find another home. Sorry. I thought my posting might be a little helpful although I was thinking you wanted to see farther....Joe

Lots of examples here - http://www.camaros.org/forum/index.php?topic=14029.0
Though there definitely is a trend by plant, it also varied by who was painting.....
