69 Roadrunner door emblem holes???? - 02/03/10 02:58 PM
I have a 69 RR.
I was looking at the car yesterday and the holes for the road and runner on the doors just do not seem right. It may be my eyes going bad. But once it is painted that is all she wrote.
Does anyone have a template for placement and hole size for both the left and right doors?

I measured the lettering on my doors and on the dr side the word road starts 8" from the ft edge of door, runner starts 10 3/4" front edge. 5" down from top break in door. Pass side,Runner 8" from front,thats the n in runner, the D in road 12 1/8" from front edge,same down from top. Maybe you can figure the holes out from this,if you can understand what i'm trying to say lol.

Is that the beginning of the second n in runner on the right side that is 8 inches or the first? I will be at the shop tomorrow and put the emblems back in and measure.

I just posted a picture of what I have. It looks to me to be a little too close to the front.
If anyone can measure it would be greatly appreciated. If someone has a spare door with the emblems off and can nail the drill size and locations.
It could be an optical illusion to me since the bird is not in place. These were either Satellite or GTX doors.
But it sure does not look right.
On thing for sure. Once painted I will not be in the same position to change it as I am now.

This is my right hand door. The left is identical.

Could you give a measurement from the body line also? I need to drill these holes in my wife's roadrunner, and I have been putting it off, not sure how to place them. So, just searched the site, and found this thread. Help is appreciated!!!

When you drill the holes make them a little bigger than you need but small enough that they won't show. It will greatly help you lining them up . Even being able to move them a small amount will make them look good.
