Jack,
I would look for a well maintained or restored example of a similar
model and do the measurements on that car and compare with yours. That
will give you a better idea of how to proceed. It probably doesn't
matter now about how you remove the current pamels but the measurements
will be very helpful when you install the new ones.
Regards,
Joe Curry
