dimension

[flatheadgary]

i am not sure what they call this area but, could somebody measure the distance from the trunk edge to the bottom of the rear window on a hardtop body. not the length of the trunk, just the short top part. i measured a '65 falcon and i got about 8 inches. would it be the same for a '64-'65 comet? just in case you are wondering why i need this, i am shortening the roof of a 2 door sedan to give it more of the look of the back end of a hardtop. please don't try to talk me out of this. been there, done that already. thanks, gary

from the front edge of the (65) trunk lid is 12'' in the center & near 14'' at the side of the lid . this is from lid to edge of rubber seal ,not the glass,,,,, to glass add about an inch . I wouldn't dream of trying to talk you out of it, Looking forward to seeing it!!!

Now that sounds like an ambitious undertaking! I'm not going to try to talk you out of it either, I agree with Johno. Please post pictures of the whole project. For sure a before and after! Good luck Take care, Cary

thanks guys. i have been gone all weekend and just saw your post. your dimensions were a lot more than the falcon for sure. i guess i got some cutting to do. i will definitely document this cars creation as soon as i can get some other projects in the pipeline out of the way i.e. '66 dart altered wheel base funny car, a vw powered t bucket, my "63 Plymouth motor swap and a "71 ford f250 motor swap, among other things. i was at the the Pomona swap meet today trying to find a comet to measure and there wasn't any there, so your replies were right on time. thanks again. gary
