Thanks Wendi for the reply. I'll definitely get the holes drilled before paint is applied. I have the Firebird service manual, but it doesn't really cover the body stuff. I sure would like to grab one of the body manuals to know I am drilling the holes in the proper location. The guy who put the new panels on threw the old ones away without taking note of the holes...that turned out to be a big oops! Glad to hear the repro's look good. Thanks again.
