HELP!!!

I'm brand new here and have just bought my first IROC. I have very little experience but am jumping right in. I have an 86 with t-tops and it truly needs new rear quarters. I've found them but they are still on the car (88 w/out t-tops) -- where is the best place to cut these?

I would cut in a way to leave the least cutting in visible body areas. If it is a full quarter you need I would start at the top of the pillar near the roof sand there and find the factory brazing and cut there then drill out all the tack welds holding the rest of the quarter on at the seams. If you only need patches like I said before just leave the least welds showing possible.
