Can't make heads of tails of 1970 AIM Emblem placement

[flowjoe]

OK...maybe I'm just getting old but I look at the following:

And all I can clearly reference is the body break line for vertical placement. What the heck is View B showing me?? I've tried to square this with Steve's (really awesome) reference:

and I just can't make it work out (even allowing for "flexible" interpretation of the AIM on the assembly line).

I know I'm going to smack myself in the head when someone explains this to me like a five year old...but until then I'm just not seeing it.

That one has been bounced before in a thread and is a useless drawing. Your not losing your mind, the person who drew it was on LSD.

You're referring to the AIM page - I hope.



Steve's seems fairly straightforward - once I pick a set back from the door edge.



The fenders are original to the car (and had the Z emblems installed) but some idiot at the body shop welded up the holes. Now we have to redrill (with a much better and more accomplished shop foreman running things). The car is still in So-Cal so I've got to walk them through this long distance.

Joe - like Mark said, you're not going crazy. My dimensioned drawing is just one example and I get the impression that during production, close-enough was good enough

Yes, please get it right. Don't end up with one that looks like this. This was the single thing that bugged me about this car. Previous owner not doing the research to get this right and me not catching it either.

Yes the assembly manual.

This would bug me so much that I would get it fixed.

How often do we see that close enough SOP pop up while we sweat the details during a Resto, eh?

Nice to know “old timers” disease hasn’t fully reared its head.

Really great and useful drawing BTW, thanks for sharing that on the forum.

View B I believe is looking down on the fender from above showing the clearance between the cowl and fender. The "0" lines are datum lines. Here's an earlier post that explains how there measured.
