Don't know if it's better here or interior forum but here goes. I'm planning to install in the near future an aftermaket power window kit in my 67 Elky and was looking at locations to route the wiring from the door through the door jamb.
First questions: It looks like the best place to bring the wiring through is on the outside portion of the a-pillar. Does this look like a good place that won't crush the wires when the door is closed? Would the vertical location make a difference in clearance, say middle to bottom of VIN plate?

Second question: There's no way to get a drill on the a-pillar without removing the door itself. Is there another way? I pulled the kick panel off but it has a metal interior side. I'd have to drill a hole in this anyway to retrive the wiring but hesitate to drill such a large hole as to allow the above hole to be accessible by a drill. Thoughts?

{EDIT}
If I do have to remove the doors to get to a-pillar to drill the holes, how difficult is it to realign the doors? Never taken one off before.
