Seriously.. If you can crack open a PC, add a hard drive, upgrade the processor and memory, you can do this.. It's all one step at a time stuff.. Not even any multi-processing..

As far as drilling holes in body panels.. I haven't looked at the directions close to see if it HAS to be done, but it's just basic stuff..
  1. Lay out the template
  2. Mark your spots with a dry erase marker
  3. Remove template
  4. Have a smoke or a beer while a friend puts the template back on to double check
  5. Remove it and put it back on yourself to triple check it.
  6. Make sure everything lines up the same 3 times IN A ROW before proceeding. If you have to lay everything down and start again tommorow with a fresh less frustrated look on things.
  7. Take a hole punch and a hammer to MARK a small dent for the drill bit so it won't wander off the mark.
  8. Drill a starter hole with a small bit.
  9. Enlarge the hole with a bit half way between the starter bit and the size the hole will end up.
  10. Finally drill the hole to the correct size..
  11. Spray a bit of WD40 on the spot your drilling BEFORE you drill and a little bit while you are drilling.
  12. DO NOT WIPE METAL SHAVINGS UP, they'll scratch the paint. Blot them and the WD40 up with a fuzzy shop rag.
  13. Once the shavings are gone, clean up the WD40 with soapy water or 409.
  14. If you're paranoid about rust, use touchup paint around the edges of the hole...

See..?? Simple..
