No problem!
But I must confess, while I was measuring, I wondered why that particular measurement may be needed, lol.

Just curious, 56.5 is the same as my 68.

I was curious about the front end length of these cars. It looked to me that the 1970 had longer fenders than the 68-69. The outward curves that the 68-69 have are not there on a '70. I think what I found was that from the cowl to the outside of the bumper, all years are very close in length.

Are bumper brackets the same between 68/69 and 70s? If they are, i don't think fenders and hood are really diff lenght, just different way to finish in front. I think 68/69 bumpers protudes about the same in front than the 70 bumper
