This is some great stuff! I thought I found a blue NOR Z28 with a white cowl. So NOR didn't paint their cowls stripe color?

Anyone have pictures?

I see hints of orange here:

The two 69 Z's we've done in the last few years were both NOR black stripe OP cars. Both had the full blackout up to the base of the windshield.

Out of the "norm", but that's how they were.

the Norwood cars got "overspray" cowl color where the Van Nuys got the entire top of the cowl stripe color form the two vertical seams from side to side and from the base of the windshield to the edge of the horizontal portion of the upper cowl

Norwood cars did have different degrees of overspray on the cowl (The masking process varied quite a bit). Some cars have the stripe color cover the cowl entirely and top of the firewall. It is more common to find less stripe color towards the front of the cowl, but it did occur quite often.

My 69 Z has solid white overspray on the driver's side (in front of the cowl vent panel) while the pass side has light coverage.
Pretty typical for NOR cars. Some may be there, but not always.
