I've successfully installed all emblems on my '68 SS clone car except for the SS fender emblems directly below the Camaro fender emblem...

Could someone tell me the distance between the bottom edge of the Camaro Fender Emblem and the top edge of the SS fender emblem ... as well as ... if the SS should be Centered under the Camaro emblem...

Any other dimension that one could give would be great...

THANKS!

I have an original 68 SS. On the passenger side from the bottom of the Camaro emblem to the top of the SS emblem is exactly 1 1/2 inches. From the rear of the fender, in front of the passenger door, to the EDGE of the emblem is 6 7/8. This is the very left edge of the SS emblem, not to the S as the edge of the emblem is a little further to the left than the edge of the S. From the edge of the fender to the S is exactly 7 inches.

Now, the driver side measures the same from the rear of the fender. But, the distance between "Camaro" to the top of the SS is 1 3/8. I suspect the drivers fender was replaced at some point.

Be interested to know what others come up with but I know one is exact and the other (most likely the drivers side) is close.

Hey ... one more thing... The 1 1/2 " distance was from the Bottom of the "ma" in Camaro and not from the "C" in Camaro... RIGHT?

Thanks,
