Correct way of removing quarter panels

[LeDevil]

I convinced my Father in law to help me cut my flared quarter panels out and weld stock wheel arches back in. So before I go hacking my car apart does anyone have any good tips or how-tos on doing this and bracing the body? Thanks LeDevil

Do you have the needed stock steel? If so, take a hard look at how your remove it from the donor car. If you are asking, this is probably not a good DIY project. Sincerely.

I looked over whisper3H post and his little patches looked fairly simple enough but I'll be cutting out a little more then he did.

 

As for it probably not gonna be a DIY thing wont learn anything if you never try.

No doubt. Just hate to see a guy bite off more than he can chew on something like this. Can easily result in a 510 headed to the crusher.

 

Like I said, you can learn a lot about what you are getting in to from your donor car. Do you have a donor car?

Actually waiting on a fellow board member to get back to me about a set of rears he removed

I appreciate the looking out Slodat about me biting off more then I can chew

can i get the rear corners from you? I need the bodylines where the tail light panel meets the passenger 1/4 panel.

 

thanks!

I was expecting a punch line...

 

Anyways, rear 1/4 panels usually include part of the door frame, C-pillar and all the way back (part of the back of the car). Are you instead going to try just to replace the area around the wheel well opening?
