[DeTomaso] Body measurements

[Joseph F. Byrd, Jr.]

There is a Body drawing in the POCA's "The Works" CD.  It is LARGE and sort of hard to follow. (very reduced marked up attached) 

>From it I counted pixels;
Top horizontal 1809mm (71.2") blue
Bottom horizontal 1741mm (68.5") blue
True vertical drop 248mm (9.8")

To get the surface distance of the vertical, I summed the squares of X/Y short segments in pixels
Behind Front wheel 310mm (12.2") red
In front of Rear wheel 271mm (10.7") red
These differed from my "ribbon" actual measurements since they included the horizontal under surface to the seam

Thinking these dimensions will be used for a graphic, something to conceder is that the 
true vertical drop from the crease to the rocker is 6.4" 
where the surface distance is 7", 
so the visual perspective will shorten the vertical aspect about 90%

Pulling a tape horizontal, I had 71 3/8" at the top and 68 1/2" at the bottom.
Using a ribbon vertically along the body curve; I had 7" to the rocker, 13 1/4" at the front to the underbody seam and 12 1/4" at the rear to the seam

Does anybody have the body measurements for the car?

I need the length of the area between the wheels ( rear section of front fender, door bottom, front area of rear fender and the height from the bottom of the door up to the crease, (above the rocker)

Thanks,

Michael
