Actually its is Both Quarters, tail panel, wheelhouses, rear valance, trunk fill panel and drop offs...

I am about 98% there with final fitment, then I will remove 1 quarter at a time to prime/seal the inner structure and back of the quarters, then WELD away!

Good luck getting it back together ... test of patience fer sure.
Yes, once side at a time is DEFINITELY going to help! I just had SO much metal I was replacing and I REFUSE to sandblast inside of my shop, so I stripped everything and started from scratch.

I have managed to get everything where it should be, and it is starting to come together nicely... but DAMN, it has been A LOT of work! And yes, patience is a MUST! There are so many variables, that a person really has to concentrate and make sure that fixing one area doesn't screw up 3 other areas! Is it the panel that has issues? The adjacent panels? the inner structure? The car itself?...
