Default Re: Drilling, already painted panels

Thanks guys, just looked at Greenlee Hole Punches online those things look pretty sweet. I think I may order a few.

Not that it’s a big deal the Chevelle is just my summer driver. But would someone know the correct size hole diameter that is cut in a cowl induction hood for the hood pin to go though.

Thanks again
Todd

Fit the bit to size of the hood pin plate. When I drilled the holes in the Gibb camaro I put the old plates on and then drilled the holes.

If you are looking for greenlee punches, look on ebay. Sets often sell for cheap. Even if they are well used, you only need to wring a few holes out of them.
