No, Plating, Painting, Wrapping, Coating, Blasting, Oiling, Rubbing, Scrapping, Polishing, Molding, or known Caring Method has ever proved successful in rejuvenating these. I imagine one could use SEM vynil-plastic paints to attempt to duplicate a painted repair but not sure how to obtain that very unique fresh-molded plastic appearance.

My Advise: Look at a swap meet for a takeout replacement that another owner felt was beyond acceptable yet might still be in good enough shape for a fluff or just bite the bullet on a repop or source a service item.

^^ Correct there is a long running thread with Facotry examples of cowl stripe applications & I think the evidence has now shown there is not a Exact-defined East (NOR) -vs- West (LOS) version of this paint feature. With the passage of time and collection of factory applied variations over time the line of correctness has been blurred.

Yours Looks Great- Clean it only!

Congrats on your recent acquisition-

More pics please & enjoy

Quote from: Smartin72! on October 27, 2026, 02:27:16 PMHey all, I checked and the holes are there under the bumper that would align with having front bumper guards. I am going to add them in the off-season.

Good Job -

Hi Bruce, The White-Black int, 68Z at this years (2026) Was Bill H of Puyallup & The Sequoia green Blk int was Oregons Gary M.  Great Pair of Cars this year at our local Goodguys for sure. Yes, you met Tom M at Shelton he is on here does not post much. We drive our Z's regularly during the dry season and enjoy them. I think we saw an "Orange" 69RSZ outside at the auction lot & it was rumored to be vandalized while out in the open. We sure hopped it was given a good home for new life to be breathed into it. Please reach out to me via (PM) Private message & we can do lunch and take a look at your progress.

Are the Holes for the Fronts still in the Front lower valance?

It might just be better to install them-
I vote for install (*opinion)

I Thought you "Can" loosen the two bottom lower bolts and maybe a pair of wheel well (Inner) bolts and pull fender away enough to get your hand & wrist thru to install proper hardware in a pinch>?

My Opinion: They have obviously been Re-painted over. Orig paint samples would be Chipped paint by the stamp-die over factory paint. They are difficult to make out but I think I see a "N" for Norwood Car.
