ABSTRACT:
An auto body repair gauge assembly comprises a frame or jig having a pair of spaced apart longitudinal bars supporting two or more lateral bars slidably mounted thereon for placing over the engine compartment of a motor vehicle whose body has been bent or otherwise damaged. Marking rods are slidably mounted on the lateral bars for positioning at the points indicating where a damaged part of the vehicle body should be adjusted to be back in its original correct position. The longitudinal and lateral bars have measurement indications marked on at least one side so the workmen can tell where to slide the marking rods. One lateral bar farthest to the rear is the reference bar and has its center lined up with the true longitudinal center line of the vehicle. The longitudinal bars extend from that reference lateral bar at true right angles so that they are in true parallel with the longitudinal center line of the vehicle, and the rest of the lateral bars intersect the longitudinal center line of the vehicle at right angles. Centering pins are placed through the center of each of the lateral bars in line with the true longitudinal center line of the vehicle. Such center pins are the points of reference for each lateral bar to determine how far from center each of the respective marking rods are to be set to indicate the correct location of each vehicle body part to be moved from a damaged to a correct position.
