Well, I knew that the Chevelle was hit in the back, but I did not realize the extent of the damage. Looks like, not only was the rear quarter on the drivers side was changed, the outer wheel well looks a bit like an accordion that has been hammered on, the inner wheel well is a bit tweaked and the floor around the wheel well is bent (though not too bad).

Who ever did the body work on the rear quarter cut the trunk floor extension with what looks like a can opener, then stitch welded the panel stump to the new quarter panel.

Ah well, what do you expect for a 50+ year old car.

Thankfully, AMD and others make the panels to put the old girl back together.
Besides, it give me a good excuse to use the plasma cutter.

Have to say that the plasma cutter must be one of my most favorite tools. Best purchase I ever made.
