racetrack trim question

I am thinking about ideas on how to install the racetrack trim on my 77, that's if I get a bed that already has it. I have new doors and fenders so they dont have holes in them yet and wondering what would be the easiest way to make a pattern and drill the holes. I would like to get holes drilled before I have my parts painted, instead of after the fact when I am reassembling my truck. Thanks.

Use some large posterboard, or butcher paper and make a pattern off of the back of the trim, then mock that up to the truck and have at it! Just make sure you paint the holes to avoid rust.
