Restoration / Body Dimensions

« on: July 25, 2019, 07:25:55 PM »

I have seen a couple of references to Datum and AIM information. Is there book or reference list out there that the surface plate inspectors would have used to check body tolerances? I'm welding on new cowl sides and the upper plenum. It already appears that one of the cowl sides is higher than it should be OR that end of the plenum is low. This is right where the two parts meet and only the upper half of the plenum appears incorrect relative to the cowl side. The lower surfaces glove fine at the reinforcement just above the kick panels. In other words I think the vertical fender mount bolt pad on the driver side is too low.
THANK YOU for any responses

1967 - Orphans / Cowl Panel 7N135825

« on: May 02, 2019, 04:45:54 PM »

I understand this is not an engine or part orphan but I'm replacing the cowl on my car. It had 7N135825 stamped on it.
That is not the number on the door pillar tag or the title and there was no tag on the firewall when I bought it 10 years ago.
This info may or may not help someone else.

Restoration / Dash Top Assembly question

« on: April 07, 2019, 03:47:29 AM »

1967 I'm in the middle of replacing the cowl sides the entire plenum and the dash top. All were rotted out. I have the ends and the plenum pretty well fitted and tweaked to fit. I'm now working on the dash top panel. The old one had some sort of seal or rubber insulator 1/4" in diameter that ran all the way across at the back edge of the plenum. It appeared to seal or vibration dampen the underside of the dash top to the upper back edge of the plenum. Can anyone tell me where to find an assembly document or picture that shows what goes in there?
Thank You
