Default rear deck lettering template

Hello Everyone: My name is Charles. I am new here and hoping to get some help. Picked up a 73 Coupe last Memorial Weekend. The previous owner filled in the letters on the rear deck when he had the car painted. I was wondering if anyone out there would be able to make me a template for this. I checked the underside of the car and cannot see where the holes were filled. I was thinking maybe a template from taillight to taillight and the license plate. Thank you in advance for any help you might be able to extend me. Take care.

Have you tried looking in the 1973 AIM, assembly instruction manual?

The rear panels arrived at St. Louis with the letter holes already in the panel. Unfortunately, there are no dimensions in the AIM.

Try an archives search. If memory serves, someone used his/her rear panel and made a template. The actual spacing is the same 68-73.
