Such a beautiful car. I remember when you were looking for measurements on the RS lower trim holes. Looks like it came out perfectly.

Yes, drilling holes in a finished body is good for a pucker moment.

These are the dimensions I had in the original quarters before replacing them. Turned out to work real well. By feeling the backside it was apparent I could move the front clip forward an extra 1/2” so there was less cantilever of the trim. any further forward gets into multiple layers of steel for the door jamb structure.

Also having the original door holes really helped locate the paint line and molding vertically.
