Paul,
The cars restored with the body color on the front of the firewall and over the tag never look quite right to me (personal opinion). Yes, there are some examples of cars where that happened but usually it is fogged on when GM did it and when redone it always seems to have more thorough coverage. The typical Norwood '67 Z had the stripe color contained under the cowl panel, sometimes crisply masked off under there and in other cases it is sprayed there without being masked. The ones which were not crisply masked under the cowl panel did sometimes have stripe color which extended more toward the front of the cowl. Below are some '67 Z Norwood examples. The typical LOS '67 Z, which yours is not, had the majority of the top of the cowl painted with a distinct masked line at the leading edge, but I have seen one example prior to restoration where it was crisply masked off under the cowl panel.
