Howdy Tony,
Have you tried one of the "Step Drills?"  There are several sizes, #1 - 
#4, that drill nice holes in light metal.  You can check them out at 
ACS (http://www.aircraftspruce.com), look in the Tools:Drilling 
Equipment area, it is the last item that shows up: Unibit Step Drill, 
for details.  I recently purchased a #4 from Home Depot and they work 
pretty darn slick.  I plan on going back up to buy #1 - #3 as soon as I 
have the extra $$.
