Is the 69 hood the same as a 68? I need that also for 69 400 hood, along with the measurments for the 69 front fender (Firebird) emblems. I found this for the 400 hood, but I am not sure that it is correct, or if it is good for all the 400 hoods. http://thefirstgensite.com/tech/hood%20scoops%20template.pdf If anyone wants to chime in and say if it is good or not, and if it will work for all or specific year hoods that would be helpful.
No problem man, I did a little more looking around and it does seem that the link for the template should be good to go, especially since the hoods are the same for both years. Do you by chance happen to have the template you made for the fenders? Oh, wait, I guess that would depend on what year FB are you working on, mine is a 69 and I know fenders are different between 68 and 69. I dont have an old fender. My FB came with the repo fenders on it with no emblems.
I used the hood template from that link. Seems to be correct - better be cuz I have 4 new holes in my hood! Made one hole at a time gradually getting bigger and constantly checking for fit and alignment. Measure 8000 times - drill once.
My emblems required slightly different size holes than the template. So I test fit with every increase in drill size.
USMC - send me an address, and I'll make you a template.

Glad to hear that the template is working for you, I also printed it off and will be using it for mine. Yes, always better to drill a little bit at a time as I have learned the hard way...lol I will PM you my addy, I appreciate you hooking me up. I am surprised that there isn't anything out there for the 69 fender emblems, would seem to me more peeps would need that.

Mike, I am getting ready to put my hood emblems on but I wanted to ask you, how did you line up the template in relation to the bottom and top of the paper template? The front to rear is easy to figure out, it's just the lower side an top of the template that I am wondering about.
