Crash sheets

jimmynotch · Posted: Wed Feb 15, 2006 12:53 am Post subject: Crash sheets

After my recent crash, I have spent my time gathering all the parts to repair the damage. Now I need some help locating crash sheets for the front clip, specifically the front apron. Can anyone point me toward a website that might have them? I really don't want to wait to buy them on eBay when they come up again...

Here's the guy that sells them on eBay.

I just got some for my bus through him. Just contact him if he doesn't have them listed right now. I'm sure he'll sell them to you. He charges $1.25 for priority mail.[/url]

Crash sheets are the estimated repair times for a specific job, like replacing the front apron, or a front fender.
I have the flat rate manuals for the T-3 on my web site, but they do not lean toward body work, mostly mechanical work.

That is all they give on the front clip area.

I thought crash sheets were a list of measurements from different points on the body to put crunched metal back to where its supposed to be. For example, my front apon isn't totally f**ked, so a crash sheet should tell different distances from, say the top of the cowl to the bumper mount holes ...or something like that. The guy thats going to help me with my body work asked if I knew where to find them.

The crash sheets show an exploded view and list the part numbers along with the price and time to charge for repair. Unfortunately, they don't have any dimensions on them. I'm not sure where to get the measurements except off of another car.

the big bentley manual lists some dimensions. section A24 the page after the notchback cutting lines. it also has the dimensions listed in the repair procedures themselves.

I was going to say the same thing, the big blue Bentley has them in the rear part of the book. Wink
