need side marker template
I need a template to cut in side marker holes, front & rear, or a wrecked piece of your old fiberglass with the light hole still intact.
On my 69 vette, they where glassed over and I think I need them for state inspection. but I forget what the hole looks like and where to cut it.
thanks.

Hi Tom,
I'd drill a hole from the inside of the fender through the hole for the bulb connection. This will give you a center to start cutting from until you get to the remains of the original recess for the receptacle and lens. Having a side marker on hand will help you know where to cut and how much.
Can you tell if this car was hit in the front and that's the reason for the 'custom' front-end work?
Regards,
Alan

The car was custom from way back when my brother bought it in the mid 70's. the front and the rear is custom with very wide flares, looks like a road racer car. The rear side light holes are missing also, so I guess if the whole car is custom, a little off with my holes wont matter.
I need a close up pic of the marker hole inside and outside so I can cut it out right or a smashed piece with the marker hole intact would be great.
