i guess one of the hardest parts is going to find a solid piece of metal to replace it. also im not the one who is going to be doing all the welding my freinds dad is going to be and he has been at it for a long time so thats not a worry well anyways thanks for the input

well many parts companies make a full rear quater panel for camaro's.but if you are not a body man than i would advice leaving it to a professional.rear qaurters are not that expensive and they are much better then getting them out of the junk yard in my eyes.but to each his own good luck which ever way you decide to go.

If you are going to do the 1/4. Do all your cuts were the factory puts them in.. If u do it the way u want just strighten the 1/4 thats on there. Cuz u will have allmost just as much bondo. And if you over lap it for one its going to behard to get it nice and flat. 2nd Cutting in there u run the risk of it rusting. U allways want to cut in the smallest area. Like the sail panel
