Hey guys new to this forum. I am having issues with my 69. The top control arm is shimmed out as far as it will go and the bottom is pulled in the same. My camber is still way outside of spec. Does anyone have the factory measurements on the shock tower placement so I can start trouble shooting what's causing my issue? Probably need inside skirt to skirt and the distance between the shock towers. Any help would be appreciated.

Attached is a pic from the '69 shop manual that may have what you're looking for.  I've got a '69 and could take some measurements if needed.

well my baby is going to a frame machine on the 2nd of December.....no clue what this is going to cost! Based on the dimension sheet you sent me its not good. Someone went to a lot of trouble to hide the damage without actually fixing it...Thanks again
