Brief Description:  Cutting Matching Instrument Panel Openings

Installed the Carbon Fiber overlay on the aluminum instrument panel with double faced tape and marked the matching cutouts on the sluminum instrument panel.

Removed the aluminum instrument panel with the overlay attached to mark circular opening centers. Used a paper with a circular target on it with a crosshair for using a centerpunch on. Once the centers were punched, I used a step drill to drill out the opening up to the outer perimeter that was marked. When the drill-out was not all the way to the marked opening, the hole was filed as required to match up with the overlay opening.
