[QUOTE="Inspector13, post: 895332, member: 11186"] A body shop may be able to fix that. Personally I don't really car for lots of bondo, a tiny spot with a thin layer to smooth seams is fine. If your going to do it I say do it right. I personally would order a new quarter panel as opposed to getting one used. Usually cutting one off warps the metal and sometimes it's more work getting it straight then just welding a new one on. If you do it yourself make a spot weld then move a couple inches and make another spot weld and keep doing that until it is all welded up. Grind the welds down and put just a little bit of plastic filler over them to smooth it into the rest of the body work before guide coats, priming, painting, and clearing. Make sure where the welds go is sanded down to bare metal and you may have to use some self etching primer to make sure it sticks. [/QUOTE]
