Howdy !

i must say i don't quite understand the "gridlines" thing in your post ?

but if you want to set up reference pics like these, well just create 2 plans of square values (50x50 or so, depending on the scale you want to model), apply uvmapping (planar) to each, and then add them mapps with the reference pics, which preferably also should have square values, if you find that they do not align well or anything, them being references you can move them around on the planes using unwrap tool.

usually, i'd say move each plane so that the center of your scene is the center of modeling.

hope this can help
