Here's the 0 body line. As I was saying . The top of the rockers just might be 0 body line. It would be a good refence.
I always wondered how to read that diagram and that makes sense.
Looks like the rear shackle mounts are 8" above the "0" line (rocker) which is then 6.2" above the bottom of the frame rail for a 14.2 total, then with my 6.25" datum line, my shackle mounts "should" be 20.45" above the datum.

I was going to say to build a jig. Silly me! I looked back and seen what you did.
The other measurements I post. You can lay a level or straight edge across the jig and measure. I'll post some now and later.

Here again. There would be 3 1/2 " off the back measurements. Being it was zeroed on the top of the head unit on the bottom of the frame rail. All the one's I sent at this point are from that bench mark.

Fantastic. Taking your measurements and combining them with the drawing you posted, it all makes sense!
Now I can with confidence put the height of the rear, where it "should" be and verify everything is lined up.
Thanks again!

I think the divot in question is the location of where the power window wiring grommet goes.
Thanks for that. I'd not even considered it was where they would pop a hole into. Thanks!
Did some quick measurements on the car just now and holy-smokes was the back end sitting low. If were wearing hiphuggers I'd be making fun of it...
Turns out I'm just over an inch low at the shackle mount which is also shown at the rear door gap being way too wide at the top. To test the "one inch" I did a quick cad drawing to represent the location of the mount, the front top of the quarter and the bottom rear of the door. Rotating the whole thing up, using the lower door corner area as the pivot, moves the top of the "quarter panel" forward almost 3/8" so yeah, I'll be triple checking my datum height, then raising the rear to adjust for reality.
Also decided to bite the bullet and order the Dyancorn inner cowl panels and man they are so much nicer than the AMD part. Glad I made that decision.
Now I need to decide if I'm keeping with quarter "skins" which I bought when AMD discontinued them, or ditch them and go for full quarters and cut them to make vert panels.
