Pentastar

I asked a lot of people on the location of the star and got the it varies​. I almost bought a nice one of eBay that had a super strong magnet cast inside. I know​ that installation​ and fitment of the repop rocker mouldings probably got completed and the arches are pending small corrections.

I'm curious about the "small" corrections . . . .:confused:

Me too

I wasn't there at the install and please remember even the simplest project like an AC Housing had to be sent back for corrections prior to final production. The letters on the lid we're too crisp and needed flattening.

In the arches a tweak in the curvature is needed by vendor. Stay tuned.

Gilles,

I measured the distance between my rocker panel sill molding and the opening in the body for the door (not to the bottom of the door), in case there are any variations in how the doors are hung. At the front of the door opening, I measured 2-1/8" to the top of the molding and for the back I got 2-3/8".

For the Pentastar, I measured 1-3/8" from the top of the rocker panel sill molding to the CENTER of the Pentastar. I also measured from the top of the seam between the rocker panel and the fender to the center of the Pentastar and got 8-1/2".

All measurements were made with a tape measure.

Good luck in finishing up your car!
