Well, here's a new take on incorrect W-36 stripes:

Emblems are in the correct place, but the center stripe is too wide. The thin outer stripes are not supposed to be outside the 442 emblem.

Notice a lot of the 70-72 cars now have an X on the valve cover. Wonder where that all started.....

That's pretty much all the photos I took. Just snapped the ones that caught my eye and were similar to ours.

First time there, lots of great cars and a great experience!

Friday - I'd guess there were twice as many there Friday compared to Wednesday. I think the ideal time to be there is right before they start judging.

Nice pics! Thanks for posting. (Friday did seem to have the most cars, as we saw quite a few leaving Sat.)

That Aspen Green '70 W-30 looks like the car that Inline Tube recently completed. The silly-looking fat 'x' on the valve cover is on some of their other cars too. In a couple of W-30 magazine tests from back in the day, there is what appears to be an 'x' scribbled on the valve cover but looks NOTHING like what you see restorers doing.

I very well may be wrong but I think that was a 72 only thing and on W-30s only. I had a 72 W-30 with 16,000 miles and it had an X from the factory there. Mine looked nothing like the ones on the restorations. I even seen it on a 350 engine at the nationals.

Yours might've looked more like this one:
