Does anyone know if there is a document available with dimensions for the location of badges. I understand the molding manual has locations but not dimensions as my restoration manual has. My problem is, after having new quarters installed on my 65' GTO, I do not have holes for the quarter badges and the old quarters were destroyed before I could get the measurements. Thanks, Donnie

Cannot believe that nobody has replied. I can tell you this. They do NOT go in the same location as '64s, and I only mention this as a heads up. I've seen this mistake made more than once. I no longer have my '65, so I cannot provide measurements, but surely someone here can. Help a brother out! Good luck. Ron

Go to a car show and look for the same car that you know is original and ask if you can measure the location of the badges just to be on safe side.

The "GTO Restoration Guide" has diagrams that show the locations but there are no measurements. As jegstek said '65 and '64 differ somewhat.

I notice you are from West Virginia so you can't be too far from Greenville, SC. Drive down to the POCI Nationals in mid July and I guarantee you can get the right measurements.

Has this been answered elsewhere yet? I'm curious as to the correct locations for a 64, particularly the rear quarters

Same info needed here, putting together a '64 GTO for a customer that someone else painted years ago. They put quarter skins on it and never drilled the holes for the GTO script.

I am in the same boat with my 66 Lemans. I can measure where t place the badges but I need the template of where to drill the mounting holes.
