    I am working on repairing the inner wheel well on my 54' Chevy. I need to know if anyone can tell me what the three factory holes as pictured here are for. I patched the rust and redrilled the holes but am unsure if I really need them, or if I should fill them in to prevent moisture/rust from forming inside once the outer panel is reattached... Also, when I do reattach the outter pannel what is the best way to seal things up between the inner and outter wheel parts of the well. Does anyone have any pictures of thier 53/54' wheel well restoration? Thanks.

    They are the lower B/A trim mount holes. If not using the outer trim, weld them shut. Spray the area with a heavy coat of weld thru primer, then undercoating from the inside of trunk and the inside of 1/4 panel on the frt side.
