>>>There are two oval holes on L-model Panteras which are necessary to 
access the mounting bolts for the rear bumper rams.   Then there are the various 
holes for the brake lines and parking brake cables.   Those are the only 
holes I can think of that are necessary.   There are a pair of holes at the 
bottom (one on each side) in between the two main tubes that form the chassis 
on the outside; those holes seem purposely intended to let water and debris 
in and encourage rusting.   On the later cars, those holes were not stamped, 
so feel free to weld those up!
