Instructions:
- Prepare vehicle: disconnect battery, raise vehicle, remove wheel, interior trim, and any obstructing components to access the quarter panel.
- Assess and mark: inspect the existing panel, mark cut lines, and identify spot welds and overlap seams to be removed.
- Cut out old panel: carefully cut or grind away the damaged panel and remove residual spot-welds and corrosion, preserving any reusable mounting flanges where possible.
- Test fit new panel: position the replacement quarter panel and check alignment with door, trunk, and rocker panels; make minor trim or flange adjustments as needed.
- Clamp and tack-weld: clamp the panel in place, verify gaps and fitment, then tack-weld at multiple points to hold position and prevent warpage.
- Final weld and seam finish: complete welding in short increments, stitch-weld to minimize heat distortion; grind welds smooth and dress seams.
- Treat and seal: apply rust inhibitor to bare metal, seam-seal all joints, and prepare surfaces for primer and paint.
- Finish: apply primer, block and feather as needed, then paint and reassemble removed components. Verify door and trunk gaps and adjust if necessary.
