whats your opinion and if anybody has done this ...?? I was visiting the chevelle forum and ran across this way of cutting up both 1/4's at the same time for a perfect fit laying the new skin over the old and cutting both at same time ...a puzzle fit thing .... http://www.chevelles.com/forums/showthread.php?t=194899&highlight=wallpaper
YOu would have to make VERY sure you have the new panel fit very close so when you remove the old panel the fit would not change too much . I will look at that method when I do 1/4s on my car . Seems like it would save some work and get to cut lines on the same plain .
did some more searches and it seems its a common practice with our cousins at Chevelle .... I have not seen this way done or mentioned here before ...o No: seems its the way to go for a first timer ...like me...... anybody here that has used this cut and puzzle technique ??
I've done that on small repair panels. The trouble with a quarter is that you will be two far away on your wheel well. You need the skin to sit tight on the wheel well. I usually remove most of the quarter, trim my repair panel/skin to size. Then I use the trimmed skin to mark where the old quarter will be final cut. Depending on the job we will but weld the panels on most likely flange and over lap them.
Frank, are you ready to do the quarters? I have some time in my schedule i'd love to help. I didnt think they were that bad,its been a while though. Give me a call
