I was looking at it, but there's no real point to measure to at the window corner. The moulding flexes to much. Not so sure I would trust that measurement anyway seeing that one of my fenders had about 1/2" of shims on the top and the other didn't. the strut I didn't trust either. If each one is off in any direction, you could be making the car un-square when it really was. parts that are permanently welded are the best points to measure from. the lower frame itself is the part that needs the most checking to make sure its straight. the upper supports can be close seeing that you can get an 1'' of play with the fenders themselves
I will get your measurements also as another reference point though. I didn't have anyone to help me get those yesterday anyway. It's a long reach by oneself.

no biggie, no sense in wasting time on this plan since its not going to be used.  A clip might be best but the welding will be the costly part.
