Re: [Chevelle-List] No help

[LXVIISS]

Kelly,   I'm going to bite my tongue here a little bit, since I gave Mark the one answer he received. Yeah, I went out in my garage and took interior and exterior measurements to emblem mounting holes and flats on the emblem letters. The accuracy of the measurements are in the order of +/- 1/32". I don't have a Fisher Body Manual, so I don't know how accurately Chevy held that emblem's position - that's if it's even shown in the manual. I assume they used a template for the original build, which I doubt anyone now has. Without that template, wouldn't any body shop need to get the emblem positions off an existing car? I don't know of any body shops around me (northern Virginia) that have expertise in restoring Chevelles.   Since no "body shop expert or concours expert" answered the question, I guess none belong to this list. I don't know any and I've got to guess Mark doesn't either.   Mark struck me as an intelligent guy who understood how the dimensions were obtained, and I trust he would make his own value judgement before using the info. I do that every time I read a technical answer on the list and I hope everyone else does. I don't expect to only get perfect (whole assed?) answers to every question, but I appreciate every response I receive and the effort that went into providing it. To me, it's important to try to help out the other guy because I expect the same from others on the list. I don't think that's expecting too much. I think it one of the basic purposes of a list like this.   Mike ----- Original Message ----- From: Kelly C.

I only received 2 replies and only one answer. To say the least I was a little disappointed. I am not saying I haven't learned or enjoyed being on the list just let down a little. With that said hopefully looking for better responses in the future. I'm sure there are very few people on the list who could actually answer that question and be 100% sure about the answer. That means no one was willing to give you a "half assed" answer like "it's four inches form the crease or two inches from the seam".....Only a body shop expert or a concours expert could answer it the right way. I think that might have been expecting a little much. There are plenty of body shops that could answer that question by showing you on the car (the best way in my mind). Kelly C.
