Thanks for taking the time to do the research on this Phil.

To answer Mr70

The wiper transmission was installed on cars by fisher was after the body was painted, however in the case of SPL Paint the front ends were installed as fully assembled primed units then in repair booth they were stripped of trim to a practical point taped and painted reassembled and finished.

Normally we say as an absolute that over spray on a wiper transmission would not have happened at the factory as this goes to show you, the only absolute is there are no absolutes.

Just trying to learn and understand. When they added the striping on say a Z were those done off line as well or in Chevrolets paint booth? Why or how would paint get on the wiper trans unless they forgot to spray the cowl area on the fisher side? Just trying to determine how overspray ended up on the wiper trans in one spot on my 68 Z. LOS car also..
