Sorry for the confusion. The fender that was damaged around Dec '69 stayed with the car until the SCW restoration. At that time JS found the repair for the damage I described, but informed me that the damage I described had happened to a replacement fender. This means the fender I saw damaged had been replaced prior to the purchase in the summer of '69. Some unknown damage caused the fender to be replaced prior to the summer '69 purchase..... thus no side stripes when purchased.
