Re: 69 Z28 Rear Stripe detail
The 5.20" dimension in the Assembly Instruction Manual has caused its share of confusion over the years, starting at the Van Nuys plant. Fellow CRG Historian Jon Mello has documented several OE paint '69 Z/28s striped like that, all Van Nuys cars to the best of my knowledge. And Phil is right; correct or not that is how those particular cars should be restored.
Were this my car I would repaint the stripes to conform with the .62" dimension. That's the style seen on the majority of survivor Z/28s. And at this time there is no Norwood Z/28 known with the short rear striping.
