Porsche 356A blueprints?

[3ftDeep]

Hello. Does anyone have either a link to or decent image of 356A factory blueprints. I can't seem to find any decent ones.
I think pelicanparts used to sell them but can't seem to find this anymore.

There are a lot for speedster / pre a & b's/c's but only one really low res 356A I can find.
I'd be interested if you have.

Thanks in advance : )

This one seems to be of a factory blueprint but it's the only one I can find:

I might have to draw my own : )

Not sure what you mean by Blueprints
If it is dimensions that you require - They are all in the Workshop Manuals

It's really the whole image, like the second link I supplied, that I'd be interested in for all of it's aesthetics, measurements included.
What does it have in the workshop manual as I don't have one?

[Mike Smith]

All the structural and Overall Measurements of every model

This is from the Factory workshop manual:

Thanks for this. I had already seen this image but it's still great. I love the panel weld lines.

Any recommendations on where might be best to acquire a workshop manual if they are available?

He sells just about anything you might need. Sometimes you see them on e-bay too.

Thanks Roy. I'll take a look.

This fellow has had a new 356A manual for sale for some time in the U. S. An offer may get it.

Craigslist ad says it's expired. Not to worry.

Regarding the 356a blueprints / plans; still no luck so I'll draw my own.
Thanks for all the input though.

I've made a start on drawing my own 356A blueprints/ factory plans.

Progress so far >>

More progress and maybe some help in translation?

Can anyone translate any of this & also give me an idea of what might need changing to reference a 356A coupe?
I know the image isn't great but it's the best I can find. Thanks in advance.



Also, I just want to make sure I'm correct with the following angle.
I'm guessing it's 130 degs + - 10 degs. It's that little + - that I'm not sure about.



Finally, here's progress

That's pretty good. Look forward to seeing the finished article, if you wouldn't mind posting. How are you doing it? Not by hand presumably? CAD package?
