The D dimension from the fender's trailing edge to the Tri-bar emblem is 12-3/4 inches. As you can see, the B dimension is exactly 7 inches from the fender's trailing edge to the MUSTANG emblem, as on the '64-1/2.

The A dimension on the left side is 8-3/4 inches from the upper beltline to the MUSTANG emblem. This one is off by 1/4 inch from the right-hand side. But it is a consistent pattern across three samples checked. Because consistency is important, we suggest 8-1/2 inches at the A dimension on both sides.

The most consistent emblems we found were the 260 and the 289-V badges on the front fenders on the '64-1/2 to '66. Measure from the upper beltline radius down 1-1/4 inches to the displacement numbers as shown.

The FORD on the hood on the '64-1/2 to '66 is the same and very consistent from the samples tested. The F is exactly 6 inches from the right side hood radius. The O is exactly 14-3/8 inches, measuring from the hood radius to the left side of each letter. The center point at the hood peak is exactly 20 inches.

1965 Ford Mustang
The R is 14-1/2 inches from the radius. Both letters are measured from the right side of the letter to the radius. Again, each letter should be parallel and 1 inch from the hood's leading edge. Use a straight edge to achieve perfection.
