well, it’s done,!🥵
same as the last time… then drill pilot hole…
The lower drill mark is the center for the 1 1/2 “ hole at this spot! It was important to make the mark with the drill through the panel being 90° to that surface and not to the grill outside! It is angled,!!
being very careful with the hole saw so it can’t catch and break a rib in the panel!
marked outlines for Hinge and lock..
and carefully Filing my way towards them..
it’s a very close fit! 1/8” around..point of no return…
and it’s like giving yourself a root canal, OMG 😱
