Body / Glass: 62 hardtop interior measurement between rear lockpost/front of rearfender

[Jeff T.]

Good afternoon,

Earlier this week I posted about tweeking a twisted hardtop door which I am in the process of repairing.

But...

I have the funny feeling that when I was repairing, to the best of my ability circa 1990-2000, I may have got my measurements off when repairing my hardtop's floor and attached sheet metal like the rear lock post/inner rear quarter.

If someone out there has a 62 Lark hardtop that has not been a major rust victim, would someone measure from interior side to side from a point just below the upholstered R/L doorcap to the opposite side and then measure from side to side about a foot from the original measurement point.

I ran a straight edge along the side of my Lark this morning to confirm what I thought I was seeing and I may need to massage more sheet metal to get a better door fit without slamming/lifting and swearing under my breath.

Since the rear fender is the same from 62 to 66 the measurement you need should not matter to only a 62. I think a couple of pictures of where you want the measurements may help.

Are you trying to get the 1/4 Panel Interior side to side width, or the Door Panel side to side width ?
