I need some help! I've been posting everywhere that I could think of and finally figured out that you guys would know right off the bat.

I need to know . . . using the edge(s) of the chromed bezel as the measuring point.

How far apart the tear drop tail lamps should be, measured from inner edge of the driver's side to inner edge of the passenger's side.

How high up from the lower body edge to the lower edge of the bezel. Take the mid horizontal of the bezel as a measuring point.

How far up from the upper edge of the bumper to the lower edge of the bezel. Again, use the mid horizontal as a measuring point.

How far up from the lower body edge to the lower bumper edge. For both the front and rear bumpers.

How far down from the hood/body seam to the top edge of the front bumper.

How far apart are the over riders in the front, and how far apart in the rear? Use any measuring guide that you think will work best.

Any help would be GREAT! I'm totally lost here, and have been loking at little pics and trying to enlarge them and take proportion measurements and all, but these details can make or break a car and just 0.5 inches can ruin everything!

If my "guides" don't work for your measurements, PLEASE just use whatever you think is best. I just need to know where these pieces are supposed to go in relation to them and the body.

Thanks ! ! !

Oooopppsss!

I DID mean the little bumperettes. I've got a cellar full of near perfect Ghia towel bars that I've managed to cobble together a convincing set of over-riders out of. Not totally factory by any means, but neither is the car. I want to know (in addition to everything else) the relative positioning of the bumberettes so as to position the tubes as well. If the tubing isn't totally right, the right positioning of the upright pieces ought to go a long way towards keeping the correct look.

Thanks !
