Top of Firewall Paint Line

IF you are trying to determine details you cannot compare a LA built car to a Norwood built car and expect it would be the same.

You must use the same plant & same year model at the minimum.

For example did LA built 67's and early 68's have the white spray blob on the cowl tags?

I would have to research a LOT to do a correct 67 Z paint and stripe...

Were 67 Norwood and LA cars similar to 1969 model year in that the stripe on Norwood original paint cars is about 1/4" outside the wiper cowl panel recess where as original paint LA cars confine the stripe to the recess.

Top photo is 09B LA survivor and lower is a 10D Norwood the Black RS/Z 04C Norwood was the same. Every original paint car I have checked(50+Z28's and pace cars) has followed this for 1969. GRANTED the majority have been NORWOOD built 69's.

May not apply to your 67 but my 69Z is a 12D Norwood car and it doesn't appear to have been masked at the firewall. It's a black stripe car and it's clearly visible that they sprayed the gloss black under the cowl and just extended it all the way out the top of the firewall. Then a duller black transition can be seen on the forward facing firewall. My firewall blackout wasn't applied all that great either as there are areas of Frost Green showing through around the trans tunnel area and under the booster.

But that's 2 years later than what you're looking for.
