I'd like to get an X measurement from the bottom of the inside quarter or maybe a point in the lower door jamb to the pinchweld at the top front of the quarter on the other side and then the measurement in the opposite direction. Thanks in advance.

Hi Jimmy, I'll try to get you a measurement if I go up to my workshop tomorrow. Can you be a little more precise as to where to take the measurement from?

Shoot an image of what and where, the 57 2 Door HT is wide open.

I'm at work until tomorrow so I borrowed some sample images from another thread. Here's one option : The green line represents a measurement taken from the inside top corner of the lowest pocket in the door jamb to the pinchweld that joins the door jamb and inner quarter on the opposite side. I'd like to also have one from the opposite direction.

Here's another option: This green line represents a measurement with the tape held against the inside of the quarter panel over the top of the lowest mounting tab for the rear seat armrest and the value read at the pinchweld on the opposite side. I'd need a measurement in the opposite direction too.

This orange line represents a measurement taken from the mounting bolt of one side to the pinchweld on the other side. I'd also need a measurement in the opposite direction.

Here's that upper pinchweld I keep referring to.

Good job guys. Ask a question and they receive. Quick response. Mike

Will measure in the AM

Hi Jimmy, these are the measurements I got. They where taken from an original rocker panel/quarter panel car.

Top of the pinch weld

Pics were taken diagonally from the bottom of the lower quarter panel, to the pinch weld on the opposing side. Hope this helps

Hello Jimmy,

I do apologize for the delay. I measured diagonally from pinch weld to pinch weld, in both directions and am with a 64th of an inch side for side.

A bit of history - 57 2 Door HT - new floor - prior to ever making any cuts in any car, I assure the structure and original Dimensional's stay in tact by using multiple x-bracing and I verify those dimensions post replacement - nothing changed in this 57

I sincerely thank you guys for helping me out. I'm at work tonight but I look forward to checking my measurements against yours tomorrow.
