Pictures of Body Dimension X Measurement Points Options

[cary]

I was wondering if any one has pictures of exactly where to measure body dimension X. Targa bar to windshield frame.

This car was a front clip repair back in the beginning of its life.

If it needs to be tweaked, now is the time.

TIA for the help ........................

Ok, I think I got this. Here are some questions:

The right side targa bar to windshield is good right?

How does the door fit on the right?

Door fit on the right is good right?

So this brings us to the left side.

What you want to do is create new measuring points as the windshield on the left seems to be bent causing an issue with the door fit.

So, design an cross measurement from the right side you can replicate on the left without using the windshield frame.

Targa bar top corner to the lowest hinge bolt.

The measure from the door ceil up to the radius at the base of the windshield and make a mark. This will be your point of measure.

Then use the ceil seam just before the radius at the base of the latch pillar.

This will give you a cross measurement of the right door opening.

Check the left side and tweak the opening to match.

Once you have the door openings the same brace both sides well, bend the windshield frame to correct it and achieve the "F" measurement Then see if your "X" measurement checks out.

If the "X" measurement is off check the "Y" measurement to see if the car is twisted.
