Hey guys, I had a question about rear quarters for our cars....
First I was wondering are the reproductions worth fiddling with? Do they wrap into the door jam so you can weld them? NPD etc?
Secondly how do you seasoned guys feel about the lower patch jobs for a rear quarter? I'm not to sure about how I feel about that kind of repair
I have been working in a body shop as a tech now for 7 years so I know I can handle this of course... Just wanting to get an idea of what to get and what to stay away from.
My car was repaired in the back quite sometime before I bought her and I have recently started work on the car ( will post pics soon. ) For whatever reason the tail light panel was welded on crooked, and the left rear quarter was built out with bondo, yet there is no deformation on the inside of the panel. And I haven't removed the existing bondo yet.
With the help of Don, and a couple others from this forum I have recieved
parts that aren't reproduced and in great usable condition! Anyway just trying to gauge some opinions
