This where the fun begins my brother and I have discovered a huge hole the some filled in with bondo and didn't want to worry about it. So my qestion is how do I replace a quarter panel? Do I grind of that piece of and replace it with something that I don't know about? :paranoid:

pictures would be handy.

I will post pictures in a little while then.

The location of the hole, (above/below the body line on the side) and how extensive the rust is, and whether it's rust-THROUGH or rust from the exterior; all are factors in determining the best / cheapest / quickest way of repairing the problem.

Some repairs can be done by simply cutting out the hole and filling the hole with new metal that's been shaped and cut to fit.

Others require the whole removal of the quarter panel, or the dogleg or the rear part of the fender.

Sometimes as a cost savings measure, bodymen will remove adjacent metal, even though it may not be rusted, because of the complexity of the piece and the difficulty in hiding the weld line.

When you post your pictures we'll be able to give you a better idea.

You can weld in a small panel that can be purchased.
