Default Re: template for 69 Camaro rear 1/4 panel grill holes?

Most of the aftermarket Camaro suppliers offer the template kit for about $20.00. It resembles a blueprint and aligns off the body lines on the quarter. I've used them and they lined up the trim nicely. I would cut away some of the excess paper to accurately place the template. Also, lay the trim piece over the template to make sure the posts line up with the drill points on the template before you drill. My Gm ones didn't align perfectly so I marked the slight adjustment before I centerpunched for the drill holes.

I had one replaced quarter, so I used the other side to make a template, and then put it inside out for the side I needed to drill. I was very, very careful, but after I marked the holes, I stuck the louvers over the marks. They were a little off. I adjusted until I like it, and drilled pilot holes. I was still a little off? I finally got it right, but what a PITA. I vote for the idea of using an old set of louvers as a template. The louvers fit a little bit into the indentations on the quarter. With the old louvers as a guide, you can get it exactly right.

MOMMAS OLD LIPSTICK WORKS GOOD ON THE END OF THE STUDS TOO!!! (most of the time it takes 2 people) but the eyeball on the car is usually the best bet! .......hold up the part..... have someone hold it (where you want it...walk around looking at diff. angles!!! {SOME RESEARCH REQUIRED})touch the part to the car!!!.........mark it,punch, start drilling! ODDS ARE IT WILL BE JUST RIGHT [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
