Hi guys. I've been working on cars for years, but I've never ever tackled anything to do with sheetmetal repair. I'll be replacing both qp's on my 68 satellite with AMD full quarters. I'm not sure if I'll actually do the quarters myself, but I thought I'd start for now doing something I CAN do by removing one of the rusty quarters with my cut-off tool.

I just want to get the qp off togain access enough to put a full trunk floor in from one side and at the very least make things a bit cheaper if I take the car in to get the sheetmetal put on.

So I thought I'd cut below the vertical lip all the way along the top, leaving about an inch along the leading edge where it meets the door, and an inch at the back, cutting around the marker light hole to help with aligning the new qp later...I've seen it done this way in photos of other people's restorations and that's what I'm going by...

Any dangers in a novice doing this part myself? Am I doing anything wrong?
