In for penny, in for pound. '69 FB from scratch

OK guys. I've purchased enough Dynacorn pieces to make the entire '69 Fastback from scratch. there is ONE thing that I have not been able to locate, and that is any documentation that shows the factory correct measurements for frame and body assembly.

I made measurements when I started the disassembly, but have since determined they were not worth much. The car had been bashed an beaten too many times to trust the measurements.

I'm looking for documentation, work logs, and the best info I can put together to create an assembly manual for a '69 fastback from scratch. I've put a call in to Dynacorn for some assistance. Anyone here able to step up to help me out with some knowledge and experience?

There is a supplementary shop manual for the body which should give all the measurements you need. NPD I think carries it and I've seen them on eBay a number of times. I'd suggest you buy a Shop Manual & a couple of the smaller supplementary manuals. Good Luck!
