70 Chevelle factory stripe misplacement
Just wanted to share a picture of the factory stripes on the trunklid of the 70 I got recently.
Check out the spacing from each side of the trunk lock.

The body was picked up today from the soda blaster, engine, trans and rear will be done by next week and the frame should be rolling inside of 4 weeks. Bout time things work according to plans.

[/ QUOTE ] Sounds like you're definitely moving quickly on that one Rick. Way to go.  The painter came out and says he can take the car from June 15th to the first week of July. I will loosely assemble the rest of the body so they can "dry build" it to check alignment etc. So between now and June 15th, I need to start lining up my plater, upholsterer, and find some miscellaneous missing/damaged pieces. I think fall Vettefest may be a good target date to shoot for.
