That was the 1st place I tried to look. When I go to their website it will not let me look at their index of information. Something has changed as I used to be able to go to that site and view it all but now it says the site is not available on this server.

It will give me a error message in big letters saying 404 Not Found  The resource requested could not be found on this server.

Any idea at to why I cant view it exactly because I do not understand.

Pete posted earlier today that he was having some issues with the website that he was working through.  https://www.saacforum.com/index.php?topic=21748.msg166928;topicseen#msg166928  Info is in the registry if you don't have one you should get one.

When you say panel edge are you talking about the edge that forms the fender to door body gap? Also from what exact part of the emblem are the 8 1/2 , 9 3/8 and 5 1/2 measurements taken from?

Also what is base of cobra 4 inches down?

Appreciate the measurements just want to make sure I understand. Thanks!

Panel edge of the fender at the door gap,  if you hook a tape measure on the fender going forward. This is the driver side.
8 1/2 to center of the snake head (from edge gap forward)
9 3/8 to the foward most part of the snake coil (from edge gap forward)
5 1/2 inches from  fender edge to the right side of the 8 in 428 (from edge gap forward)

Base of cobra is 4" down from bodyline (top to bottom)
Head of cobra is 1 1/8 " down from bodyline (top to bottom)

The picture is from 1994. if you look closely you can see the marks at the measurements. Sorry the pics a little faded
