Interesting on the wrap-around stripes at the fender-to-door. I have photos of another survivor '67 like that (Fremont Plant, 05C Build) and I just assumed they weren't original stripes being that way. Maybe they are!

Default My Turn...

I just took these photos today to show how sloppy my stripes were done. This is a fairly late built '67, (06D) from the Fremont Plant. If it wasn't for the little wheel marks in the stripes, I would swear they were done by a shaky hand. Also notice that the upper stripe continued onto the left front headlight bezel. And check out the horrible left front fender-to-door gap as well. Must have been a Friday car.

The passenger door on my car rubs the front fender when you open it.

It also has handprints in the paint, on the hood and trunklid, and a hair in the quarter panel.

These survivor pics are the perfect example of the over restored fit of most restoration jobs. A couple of the pics, even I would have to do a little adjusting on. They send my OCD into overdrive, but I'm working on that.
