Top Engine reduce.jpgHey guys,

I was wondering if anyone would mind helping me out with a few measurements. Finally assembled my front end with the help of 68chargerfreak.. But we just want to confirm its good to go before I weld it all it. I got a few of these measurements from a friend. But I want to just double check and get a bit of an average because all these cars have so much variability.... Need both sides obviously as were checking if its square.

A) From the front of the rad support to rear of the stud (Person gave be 48 3/8 inches)
B) Front front of the rad support to the last hole on the inner fender NOT the bracket. (Person gave me 38 3/4)
C) From the Corner of rad support to the hole in the innder fender (Person gave me 64 inches)
D) from that stud, to the corner of rad support (don't have that one)

And then the rad support.. cross from the rad mounting points....

Thanks A lot guys.

I've noticed in the past that the holes or points you may measure from on a original car may be slightly different then the holes or measuring points on aftermarket since being after market the holes they make can be off by a inch or 2 compared to factory. I found that out the hard way once before many years ago. Leon.

The FSM gets some interesting body measurements. Maybe some of them could be helpful?

I'm pretty confident It's where it all needs to be. We test fitted fenders and doors. But just want to make sure one more time.

So I forgot to remind you :D Any chance you still can? Also I got my shock towers. I'm looking for a way to accurately locate those.. If you see a way to measure those let me know please.
