-----Hey Bill,,,The black on that blue El C is exactly what I was trying to impart to my Texas bud. Although I have been lusting after your El C all the way through your resto, Im not of the opinion that the rear panel was the same luster as the vinyl side-stripe. Not much different, but different. The white 70 SS I bought new looked absolutely the same as your blue pic.
-----My memory isnt what it once was but I also seem to remember that the black paint didnt have a horizontal tape line on the body in the tailgate jamb. Much the same as a Z/28 hood stripe onto the cowl it was just sprayed right across the whole rear and misted into the jamb.......Bill S
