I am rebuilding a 68 Barracuda Fastback and I have purchased hood mounted turn signal indicators, I need the exact measurements including the hole sizes so the hood can be drilled prior to painting and photos would be a huge plus, I have photos of a hood with them installed but no way of getting the measurements from the photo.

Thanks all!

Sorry Red but I have to ask, if you are restoring your car why are you adding something to it that wasn't original?
 
Maybe restoring was the wrong word to use in this case, lets use restomod. Either way I need the measurements.....
 
After doing many restorations over the years its my turn to do one MY WAY, at 68 I hope that's ok with everyone.

Sure enough. Your car your way. I was happy when I bought my Swinger that the previous owner had already changed some things. I can change things and not feel like I shouldn't.
 
This was the last restoration I did.....

If you look hard you will notice that the entire engine compartment was sprayed with bed liner, this is how the car was when I bought it. It took weeks if scraping and sanding to get all of it off but when it was finished it was worth it.

I don't have an answer for you right now, so I'll have to get back to you on that.
Surely you will hold off making any major decisions until I decide right?
:lol:
 
Some of you who visit Chrysler's at Carlisle may also remember this car, it too was one of mine. I got a second place in my class which was factory stock.
