I have a '64, and am going over to the garage today. I'll take some measurements and post them tonight. Do you need front/rear locating dimensions as well?

my 64 is 24.875" from the bottom crease of the beltline.

yes front/rear would be good too. With all the work I should get all the measurements I can
Thanks

My rear arches measure 24+15/16", a scooch more than jwworkshop measured. I guess you could call it + or - 1/16"

As far as front/rear, since the surfaces are curved, it is hard to get a reference point.
If it's real important, I'm sure we could figure something out.
