70-73 Dart/Scamp owners I need some help please!
« on: May 16, 2008, 08:27:09 PM »

I'm in the process of changing the rear of my car from a 74 to a 70-73 style and I need a few measurements to make sure I have it where it needs to be .I need the trunk opening from under the 1/4" lip at the back and out by the latch.I need to know how far from the end of the quarter (the seam where the quarter extension bolts on) out to the bumper.And how far out from the rear panel does the bumper set whets the gap there?Here some pics of what I need.If someone could be kind enough to walk out to their car and measure these for me I would greatly appreciate it as I'm going out to do some blasting now and will be fitting it together after that.
Thanks!
Blair

the tape measure in the pics is for reference, not exact location.

this measurement is 28 1/2"  directly above the trunk latch


the next two pics are the distance from the bumper to the body,this is your opportunity to clean this area up as i think the bumper sits too far away.I would slam it up close to make it look better,but here are some stock measurements anyways.

measuring from the center of the bumper its 5/8"


in this one mine is 3/4" away

West Thank you very much! As I suspected my bumper seems to be too far away.I need to know where you had the other end of the tape in picture one or where you are measuring from.I get about 29" there but I'm putting the tape under the very first lip if I butted it up against the first lip I suspect it would be pretty close to 28 1/2".
Thanks again!
