Good job. Any notes that you can pass on? Did you replace the whole quarter or just a piece?
I have to fix mine but have a quarter from an 83 - 86. I need to fix the flare over the wheel and the bottom corners of the wheel opening.

Replace the whole thing like I did, just below the character line.  Mine was scabbed at the corners and wheel house and was also buckled

Ah very nice. I have to do the exact same thing to mine someday. The whole thing is smashed below the quarter glass all the way to the molding line. Its far to deep to fill up too.
