Default 1968 Nova Quarter Emblems exact location

Hi Guys and Gals,
My body man though out my old quarters after replacing them with new ones. The problem is he did not drill the holes for the Nova emblems on the rear quarter panels.

Does anyone have a good hi-res cloesup picture, the measurments (like form an assebly manual), or a template to locate the emblems in the corect place (Is the best reference the rear marker light and the body line in the quarter).

I have the factory shop manuals from http://www.gearheadcafe.com/ but I can't find the info in here. It states the way they are attached to the body but not exact location.

Many Thanks
Bruce

The best place for that info is the NNN club. Wayne has done articles in the past on how to prepare templates from junk yard cars that are used to properly locate the holes for various emblems.

Thanks, I was going to make a template from a car at the junk however there are no 1968 Novas left in the junk yards up here in Ontario Canada, they all rusted away. I'll just keep my eyes open and go to a few shows. Maybe someone there will have a 1968 that I can make a template off or take some measurments.

Thanks
Bruce
