Title: Drilling Emblem and Antenna Holes. Template?
Post by: GT500KR on August 21, 2013, 02:57:06 PM

Hey Guys,

 I'm wondering if there is a template out there anywhere that would help in drilling the emblem holes, or at least showing the proper location for the "289", "Mustang" and Tri-Bar/Horse emblems on a 64 1/2 Mustang. I'm using NOS Fenders and Emblems. My originals are long gone, so I have nothing to reference. I would like to do the drilling before paint.

 I also need same for the radio antenna.

Thanks, Charlie.

Charlie-
    Short of using an original to take measurements from, here's an article from MM addressing placement:

http://www.mustangmonthly.com/howto/mump_0105_how_to_pin_letters_on_a_1965_1968_mustang/

There was a web site with the template for the antenna but the site was taken down, hopefully someone saved it and it will surface.

Hope this helps,
Greg

Did you try and click on the link for the pattern ??

Dave's site has been down for a while and it does not appear that the site that archived it did so for the links also :(

I saved the template from Dave's website. It was posted several months back in response to another forum member looking for the same thing.

Thanks CW, JK, J and kutzoh. It's going to be hard to start drilling those NOS fenders, but I feel like I can proceed thanks to your help.
