Dimentions of third Gens

I am looking for detailed dimentions of a thirdgen, I have some rough ones from the dealer brochure, but there only good for the length, height, width, and wheelbase.

Is there a good accurate Dimentions of, Side, Top, Front, Rear, not isometric, (Iso is 3D if you were wondering) I want the different planes...

I know the dimensions are documented in the restoration packages you get from GM. I don't know if they are any better than the brochure numbers though

Is it better than this: this is all I have, and I want something a little more accurate...

I just checked one of mine and they have very detailed dimensions. They specify door opening height and width, windshield height and width, wheel well opening sizes, etc. The problem is, they are marked with a code that you need to cross reference on another page and the quality of the pic is poor. They photocopy the original before sending it out and it's low quality. I don't think a scan and then posting it would work.

If it would be the best I could get then I would ask to see both pages, regardless of quality, I might be able to get something from it...

If your wondering, I am thinking about making a 3D thirdgen, and it would help alot to get something... even if I had to re trace it on CorelDRAW!, but the Dims would help allot with the drawing.

Thanks Scott

John, I just finished scanning in all the dimension pages. How fast internet do you have? I'll email what I scanned in. They are for an 87 Camaro and I scanned them large for clarity. Some images might be 500k.

Check your mail. I broke 'em down into multiple emails so your ISP won't cringe.
