If anyone has their 63 car body without engine sitting in their garage and has a moment I need a favor. I will try to return it, as you build your car.
I have the bottle and bottle hangar for the 63 Windshield fluid. The hangar was not on the car because bubba cut the back fender out because he wanted the battery on the drivers side.
I have since, filled in the defect, sanded and its about to be painted. After painting, I have to mount the bottle bracket.
Because the car body is not here I cannot suggest the places to measure "too" but basically I need an X and Y axis line on the fender showing where its mounted on both.
I am not in a rush for this as the body is not back from painting yet. But when its back, I have to get the bottle bracket mounted before I can drop the body on the frame. My feeble old body cannot do the distortions required to mount it afterwards. Thanks in advance for any help.
Does not have to have body off. You can get the measure for the inner fender outside behind wheel. Does not have to be inside engine area. Which means you can drill and mount bracket with body on.

Yes, just thought if someone had their body off, then getting accurate measure where it was to be exactly would be easier.
Here are the measurements you need to position the lower rivet for the washer bottle mount in the inner skirt.
Just make sure the bottle mount is level to position the upper two rivet mount points.
Use the pictures below as a reference. These were taken from inside the front wheel well.
I have a second set of '63 fenders in my backyard (long story) and confirmed these measurements.
1. Horizontal Measurement from the inside of the left hand fender, bonded against the skirt: 8-1/2 inches.
2. Vertical Measurement from bottom edge of the skirt: 10-1/4 inches (the angle in the photo makes it appear less, but its not).
