I will look through my paper work. I had all the measurements of ALL the placements when I made my car.

Very Nice Bird Dreamcatcher!!

Thank you she was a labor of love. I used coronet fenders and hood (I don't think fiberglass was available at the time) I put a lot of work in it. But it is a fun ride.

If you could still post them, that would be great.

Yes, like another member asked, if you still have them, would you post them please. I'm just starting on a Superbird project and have been looking for the measurements.

I know I have them I will get them out and post them.

From the edge of the front fender the scoop sits 25 1/2 inches in the center. If your building the hood the outer skin is cut 44 7/8 inches from the back on the outer edges and 42 1/2 in the center. Then you need to conform a piece of 1/2 angle to the hood for the extension to fasten to. As far as the side crescent's and the rear wing and the trim pieces at the bottom of the vinyl top by the rear glass I have templates I made for this. I would copy and send to anyone that needs them. All my measurements and such were taken off a real bird. Here is how you build a hood. Hope this helps.

It has been over 8 years since I did mine so took some time to find the stuff. The hood building pictures are from a Superbird guru friend Tom Ferry.

Thank you Dreamcatcher! That will help a bunch! and yes, if your could send the other measurements I would be very grateful. I should be getting the parts in hand soon and don't want to make any mistakes.
Thanks again for your help.
Chris
