Help With a Z Cowl Paint Photo

[TonyHuntimerRaceHome]

Hey,

I could use more help with a high-res photo. I'm looking for an image of a first gen Z28 Camaro cowl with the stripe color on the top of the cowl. Thanks to Super Car Workshop and Arone Auto Body, I already have one image of a Z11 with the smaller cowl paint around the cowl openings. The image I need is of a Z10, Z11, or Z28 cowl the the stripe color all the way across the cowl...from the pinchweld on the left tulip panel to the pinchweld on the right tulip panel.

Can anyone help me? It needs to be high-res...at least 2MB and approx 2560x1920.

If you don't have a good shot all the way across, maybe just a close-up of the pinchweld on one side will work.

Thanks,

Norwood didn't paint Z11's (or Z28's) like that, they had a smaller mask that extended about 2" outside the cutouts into the wiper well. Los Angeles built cars had the cowl paint that extended pinchweld to pinchweld, so you'll need a picture from an LA built car.

search the Carlisle pics, an orignal paint car was pictured

I searched the Carlisle thread from this year and didn't find any pictures of Camaros...only some of a couple of people and an overhead map. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

there was a thread on this subject with some of the Carlisle "super car dealership" pictures

Glad to see that picture of the 67 LOS Z28 cowl paint. That is how my LOS 68 Z was before restoration. Problem is every time I say that is the way mine was I seem to be corrected by people that never seen the area before restoration. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

that is the original paint under the black paint that was applied by one of the owners.you can see where the red paint is also under the black paint.the other side is the same.I would guess they used some sort of stencile just to lay over the edge and did a qiuck white spray paint on the top.This is a white stripe car also with bolero red paint RR code.

Mark, I have seen many Norwood cars painted similiar (large masked area) to LA cars. This car is a 4C Norwood. http://www.yenko.net/attachments/435603-60ZCowlPntZresize.jpg

Here's how my (mostly) original paint red '67 Z-28 looked on the top of the firewall. This car was built 05A at the LOS plant.

Here how my gold NOR-built '67 Z-28 was masked off on the top of the cowl.

Sure looks to me like they were masked off as my 68 Z was.

i have an 05A norwood car, and the top of the cowl was white to match the stripes.

Both are black-stripe 69 NOR Zs:

Out of all the people involved here, does anyone have an image of the wider cowl paint that's at least 1.6MB in size that they're willing to have printed in a book along with their name? The images Dave posted are great, but unfortunately too small for my picky Editor. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

I have an unrestored Black 69 RS/Z 04C with white cowl top in my garage right now, I will take a photo of the cowl top for you before the weekend. 8 MB photo with no flash.

Here is an older one

BTW... early norwood cars had much more overspray than the later ones.

Here are a few I shot today.
If these will work PM me for the hi res shots

here is a photo of the 04C black cars cowl white out... the dash paint is definitely applied after the stripe paint, you can tell the black was sprayed from inside the car from the over spray patterns.

CRG says the dashes were sprayed and masked before the color and stripe...
