Need to know for making some blanks for body making!!

If you look at this book in a bookstore:
The Fender Stratocaster by A.R. Duchossir on page 45 there is a detailed factory blueprint of a '62 Vintage reissue body from Fullerton, I don't have a scanner sorry and to photograph it wouuldn't help, but if you go to a Borders or Barnes and Noble, or equivalent booksellers, this drawing has all the cutaways and reliefs detailed as well..
