Look up inside the side cowl area & as well as the double metal thickness
that David mentioned, mine has two holes already placed in the second layer
of metal. Use a centering punch to transfer the hole locations to the outer
body skin (look on the drivers side for where the hole are now; I have four
in a diamond pattern-2 vertical, 2 horizontal-use the vertical ones), start
with a small diameter pilot drill from the inside out & finish to size from
the outside drilling inward.
