Either the paint dimension is too narrow or those are not '67 nose emblems. The outside tips of the flags are even with the outside edge of the pin stripes. (See pg 74 of 67 JG)

Ok, I think you are right. I didn't specify that the stinger would be factory dimensions, just assumed they would be. I actually do like it the way it is though....

Car looks great; like others say, black is very unforgiving. Was this by chance a late May or early June build? My original car was a Yellow L79 delivered June 10, 1967. I have been looking for a while and can't find it. Just thought I'd ask.

I would really appreciate it!. (Don't worry, I don't have any allusions about getting my original car back; it would just be nice to know that it is in good hands. Also, I like the current Goodwood Green L79 I have had for the last 30 years better. The Sunfire Yellow was entirely my ex-wifes doing.)
