Title: I cannot quite read the Yellow Crayon on the rear bulk head
Post by: 69RALLYSPORTZ28 on April 15, 2020, 05:09:48 AM: I cannot quite read the Yellow Crayon on the rear bulk head.
Any tricks or tips on how to make the Yellow more visible from a digital image?

What do you think the car is? What other details do you have? Build week? Does it have any of the original drivetrain? Axle code?

Don't you hate it when someone uses C4 to open the speaker holes up ? The plasma from the blast might have helped wipe out the crayon marks - lol. Yah, impetuous youth -

What I am seeing.

Have to agree with you. I now see what looks like a "7" from the pix here. That said....

If it is a "1" the Z/28 was added later

If it is a "7" the RS was added later.

Post by: BULLITT65 on April 17, 2020, 06:54:16 PM: I agree with the B, as I can see a faint vertical line. good call DW. Whether it is a 1 or a 7, it wouldn't be a Z then right?
Title: Re: I cannot quite read the Yellow Crayon on the rear bulk head
Post by: Z10Mike on April 17, 2020, 07:06:55 PM: I think "B 7" would be non-style trim Z28 with blue interior. "B 1" would be style trim with blue interior which could be a standard car or an SS 350. If the car does not have factory style trim, it would probably be "B 7". Hope that makes sense. I'm sure others will concur or offer their opinions. Many knowledgeable folks on this site, so it will be interesting to see what replies come in.

Yes, post a picture of the trim tag. That'll tell us more.

Post by: ZLP955 on April 18, 2020, 12:04:02 AM: I would try varying light/shadow conditions, even taking photos with and without flash, to see if it becomes more clear.
