Drilling Emblem and Antenna Holes. Template?
« 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

Found the template- (scroll down about half way)

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.
