How long is the rear panel along the top and bottom edges?

The template shows the top edge as 61 7/8" and the bottom edge as 64 3/8".

Where is the small rectangular cutout near the top of the panel located?

The rectangle measures 13/16" x 1 3/16", and its top edge is 5 3/16" down from the top of the panel.

How are hole positions with two dimensions interpreted?

Where two dimensions are given, the distance is from the centerline of the larger end of the hole to the bottom corner in the direction of the arrow — e.g., a centerline 59 3/16" from the front bottom corner and 6" from the rear bottom corner.

Are all the panel curves standard radius bends?

No. Curves marked with red stars are NOT standard radius curves and must be matched from the template. The top front, top rear, and lower wheel arch corners are standard radius bends as annotated (1/2" radius top front, 4.5" radius at the rear bottom).

What are the wheel arch dimensions on this panel?

The wheel arch has a 10" straight section located from 24" to 34" from the front edge, with a 10" height dimension shown at the arch.

This document is a hand-drawn dimensioned template (blueprint sketch) of a vehicle rear side panel, annotated with dozens of measurements for reproducing or fabricating the panel. The overall panel is dimensioned at 61 7/8" along the top edge and 64 3/8" along the bottom, with a front height of 15 11/16" and rear-side references of 20 3/16" (noted "same front/rear"), 16 7/8", and 14.5". It locates several cutouts, including a small rectangle 13/16" x 1 3/16" whose top edge is 5 3/16" from the top of the panel, a wheel-arch opening with a 10" straight section running 24"–34" from the front edge and 10" height, and keyhole-shaped mounting holes detailed in a blow-up with 1/2", 3/16", 3/8", and 7/8" dimensions (center-to-center 1/2"). Corner radii are noted (1/2" top front, 4.5" at the rear bottom). Red annotations explain the two-dimension locating convention (centerline of larger hole end measured to front and rear bottom corners, e.g., 59 3/16" and 6") and warn that curves marked with red stars are non-standard radii to be matched from the template. A red question asks for the dimensions and position of one top-edge notch cutout that is not yet dimensioned.
