I like the foam idea. I haven't sanded down to bare fiberglass in that area yet. If I do would the outline of the ridges be there so I'll have the dimensions?

You can also use acetone to disolve the foam.

Can someone give me the dimensions for the raised fiberglass on the rear fiberglass of my 58 vette or should I just use the existing holes and guess at it?

Thanks,
