What are the large holes for at the bottom of the quarter trim panel 70 Cuda?

I post in FEBO and FBBO because FBBO gets way more traffic and is more helpful most of the time.

I' installing the interior on Uncle Bill's Cuda and was wonder what the large holes about 2" diameter were for at the bottom of each qyarter trim panel.


P.S. If you know where the black screws vs stainless screws go, too, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks

Isn’t the top one for a window crank and the bottoms for the seat belt?

Window track adjustment access hole? Likely should get a plastic/rubber plug to cover hole.

Yes, the obvious one was the center hole for the window crank. I think the seat belt passes through the bottom hole. That's where it's going, anyway.

I figured out where the screws go.

Thanks

Seems like you learn a lot with each body style you work on.

FYI, with the belts running through the holes it makes them slide over the edge of the seat easily. I should have just left them come over from the back so they would lay flat like a B body.

I bought modern buckles since nobody seems to know how to use the original aircraft style buckles. Especially, the grandkids who will be riding in the back seat.
