I should have done the holes for the bumpers guards before they got painted :x

But I notice the holes for the bumper guards are in the back, I was thinking tape where the holes will go first
Then from the back drill with a small bit
Then start using bigger bits until I have oval hole?

or is there any other way to do it ?

These are the holes I am talking about , got picture on line same as mine

I like the car any color but black is hot for the summer I compared the difference between a black 356 and a white one left in the sun the temp difference was 20 deg.

Car looks fantastic! Watch out when you back out of your driveway with those tail pipes. Mine looked great for about 24 feet.. :(

The easiest way to tell a 1964 model from a 1965 car is by looking at the seat hinges. The 1965 seat hinges will have a flat surface. The 1964 and earlier seats the outside of the hinge will have a round button on the center of the hinge. The 1964 seat hinges were a better design.
