I just sent an outline of my Swinger to Cooterfinger. He may be able to pass it on.

I've done it before where I used 4 sheets of paper that would have to be lined up to make a template.
If NickS has already done it though, it should be included in the template thread in the projects forum.

Cooterfinger said he would send me a trace once he makes a template and I can get it on the template thread since I kinda manage the thread. I am going to post a Jag-stang outline tonight I just got.

I think they made them in 1969. I don't know if they made them in any other year.

Absolutely. As soon as the outline tracing arrives (thank you NickS) I'll start working on a body template and placement of the routes. Once it's sorted I'll trace everything off, make a pdf and send it to taylornutt to put in the template section.

Indeed. They used spare bits, though, so IIRC my neck is stamped 1966 and the neckplate numbers are pretty random.
