I got the doors swapped out on my project truck today just need to cut holes for the wiring. Question can the holes be cut from the inside out? There are 3 dimples on the panel I believe are where I need to cut top and bottom are for the rivets for the rubber sleeve and the center is for the rubber grommet around the wires. Thanks for your help.

Drill from outside. There is space between outside and inside panels

I'm in the process. Here's a pic from the inside of the door. There's masking tape over the outside but you can see the two rivet holes and center hole.

You have to have the doors off to accurately locate the dimples. There are the same 3 dimples on the cab side as well. To drill those from the outside in, the doors and fenders have to come off.

Thanks I stuck the wires in behind the fenders for now, just trying to get everything closed up for the winter, I have had a tarp over it for some time. I will be pulling the front clip to install engine but not too sure how long that will be. I guess I was amassed as to how easy it was to get them swapped out. I’m looking for the rubber that goes around the windshield so I can get that installed, we are not sure if we are going to get hit by Dorian or not. Thanks again
