I have a 67 coupe that I am dropping off to be painted tomorrow night. I want to put hood pins on the car but I just realized that drilling through the new paint might not be a good idea. Can anyone tell me if its not a big deal or not? If it is, should I drill the holes before dropping the car off? If so, can anyone tell me where the proper placement and diameter is for the early model Shelby pins. I have not bought them yet, but this is my plan. If anyone has any advice on this it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
