Default Newb quarter replacement

Hey guys quick question for you about quarter panels. Which would be better for a newbie with a mig to install, 3/4 panel vs. full quarter? I have the 3/4's already but I'm having doubts about the long weld, especially since I have no tig. So what would you guys recommend?

Full. I have a second gen also. After looking at it, a full panel is the way to go in my opinion. I sold my 3/4 panels, I dont even want to try that long weld.

Thanks Eric, that's what I was thinking. Have you bought your full quarters yet? If so who's did you go with or who's are you looking at. Thanks for your help, Matt

Full quarters is the only way to go,unless you have alot of time on your hands and know how to control heat not to warp the metal along the long weld. Full quarters will have much cleaner,faster and better results.

I have not bought them yet. But when I do it will be from a vendor on this site.
I understand AMD has great quality parts, but I am not sure if that full quarter is available from them at this time.
Give Elite (Stefan) ^^^^ from the above post a call. Can't go wrong there!
