I went in the garage and measured for you. Just behind the headlights, it's 58.5 and just in front of the wipers, it's 60.75.

Whatcha up to Jody?

Thanks, guys!

I'm getting a vinyl graphic made for the hood of the race car and wanted to make sure I stayed within the hood dimensions. Since the height of the graphic is in proportion to the width, the width was the critical measurement.
