"Step drills" are great for this kind of thing.

Thanks for that info! I did drill some already and a couple holes came out a little corkscrew. I bought some brand new drill bits and drilled some more and the rest came out fine. My drill bits where really old... I need to research into "Step drills"...... Where can I get some of these?
Thanks again!
