I initially was going to lap weld just to save some time but the idea of making a mold that eliminates any measuring worked better than I thought. I guess I prefer it since I've been working with fiberglass for quite a while.
Self Etching Primer works great on any bare metal I followed with some black seam sealer.
I did not remove any spot welds near any glass.

ahhh perfect.
after i posted i noticed that you cut the part where the trunk seal sat...no leaks right? more seam sealer?

I just did mine. Unfortunately, I had a buckle so removal of the whole panel was necessary. I had to work on the whole left side ![Frown](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/frown.gif)

^^^^ That's no joke, looking good as long as your suspension and frame is straight its definitely worth saving. If anybody else wants to add their pics of their body work to this thread feel free to do so.

I'm still looking everyday on ebay or anything for someone that can hack me up a replacement panel for this :\
if anyone can help finding someone that can ship me a replacement quarter panel I'd be grateful.
and I wonder if it's one-piece part that you can grab from the dealers? or is just one big chunk..
