[QUOTE=Gonzo;367332]One thing I always do first on qtr panel replacement is.. Rebuild door hinges & hang the doors to close to orginal opening & closing.. The doors are my set point & center line of the car... do qtr panel work & front sheetmetal.. If doors need skins.. do that last cause you have set point or gaps from front sheetmetal or qtrs..
Replacement sheetmetal is not the greatest to fit.. but in the end that is all we have available.. Lots of vendors sell it.. but in the end only about 3 sources are the ones that do it in Tiawan.. You would be surprised how these vendors work together or which US distributor pays for tooling..
Currently using Dynacorn.. In the same town.. no shipping.. I get to inspect sheetmetal .. My guys already know all the tricks to fit these panels..
Do not expect for them to fit perfect.. Lots of work & patience[
Thanks for the input, ironically my quarters are dynacorn. I will be rebuilding the hinges first as you said, I know I will need at least a skin on the passenger side door. Also I'm replacing the filler panel between the rear glass and trunk lid. Would it be best to set it first at another reference point before cutting the quarters loose?
Thanks
Howard
