Rear quarters
Has anyone here replaced their rear quarter panels? Year One offers new panels and I was wondering what the best way is to tackle the problem i have with my car. Both of my quarters are pretty rusted around the wheelwells (front and back, not on top) and there is also rust under the paint where the side pieces of the rear spoiler attach. Id love to just fully replace both quarters but I dont know if trying to cut and patch would be better (or much easier). I am pretty much set on doign a full restomod on my car so I know its going to cost a lot (both time and money) which doesnt bother me. I enjoy working on my cars for the sake of working on them, not for what they might be worth when im done, etc. Anyway, whatever help or advice you guys can provide would be great. Pictures would be great too.

I had my friend Matt replace the quarters on my car. I bought the aftermarket ones from www.autobodyspecialt.com Autobody Specialties for around 120 a peice. They fit very good and you could never tell that they aren't original.
