I amused myself this week, after spending months looking at original paint 68 RS cars and the masking profile of the door jamb blackout. Since the factory was all over the place with layout and consistency I finally decided how I would average the tape line and use the examples closest to my May Norwood car.
Started masking to shoot black this weekend. I was flipping thru my old pics yesterday and had my ah-ha moment. Long ago I took pics of my original jamb lines and the detail survived two paint jobs in history because they never painted the jambs when it had two color changes in the 1970s. (Flat black then white)
Glad I realized I had this info before I got the paint gun out!! Now I know exactly how my car was done at Fisher Body.
