I am building a GTX tribute out of my '68 Sport Satelite Convertible, I got the quarter panel work all done but now I need to drill the holes for the "GTX" emblems. Does anyone have measurements on laying these holes out?? Pics would help alot too! Also, any pics on how well the quarter panel extensions fit the car, mine seem to fit pretty crappy and that area is untouched as far a I know.

Here's the left side:

That's 11 1/8" and 17 3/8" from edge and 2 3/8" from body line.

FYI - If you're using aftermarket emblems, I would locate one hole (say the front) off of the picture I had provided and use the emblem to locate the other hole. On an aftermarket piece, the pins may not be in the exact same location as the factory piece. I'd hate to see you drill them both and then find out the emblem doesn't line up.

Drill first hole then make a template using new emblem, then use template to locate second hole.

The right side is not the same as the left.
