Does anyone have a cad file for the left side panel with a cutout for flush mount G5's? Or better yet, a source I could contact to have one cut? What should I expect as a ballpark cost for one?
And would it be unreasonable to expect it would fit nicely a '67 F or would I need to do a bunch of trimming etc? Thanks in advance!!

Few years ago I used Big Blue Saw Inc. to water jet the panes and cost was around $150 each. They had online quote system and CAD but I didn't use it as I do that for living.

They were recently bought by Xometry so you might want to check their website:  https://www.xometry.com/

Unfortunately my CAD file remained at previous work and on my new computer I have no CATIA software that I use...

A friend cuts stone with a water jet.  It leaves a pretty ragged edge on an 8 to 12-inch-thick stone.  Does the edge need to be smoothed after cutting aluminum?

No, not at all. I looked the instrument (and fastener) holes closely and could hardly see where the jet started the cut of the circle. Fastener holes were specified slightly oversized (class 2) and were spot on, like using the drill. There was an option of choosing better finish and also to reduce taper on thicker sheets (not a factor for .100" thk panel).

I just looked at Xometry website and it seems much bigger company, not only water jet so I hope some options were not lost...
