Also need to consider that the picture of the Daytona Yellow car has been &quot;blown-up&quot; from its original size, so that old Polaroid probably is making the stripe look thinner than it actually is.

Re: Daytona Yellow '69 L78 Chevelle
 

It seems to me that the area between key hole and door handle is tighter (less paint/more stripe) wrt the stripe width on Woj's car.

Thanks for the photo Woj - never tire of looking at your beauty!!! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Again, it is an old Polaroid so any variance is most likely due to the age of the picture and factory tolerances, I would think.

It's funny how there are different variables when it comes to noting how things are painted, routed and marked...

Looks like the 397XX numbers were in July time frame. Not too far from the change over.
