    Here is what I started with.... Looks good from a distance but had a few small problems. Starting to rust in the usual places.

    Right rear quarter was changed once in the cars life and it looks like they used a 72 to 74 Quarter and then hacked a hole for the 71 marker light to fit. I cut a piece out of a used fender and fit it into its place, the rest of the quarter was good.

    Changed out bottom of left quarter, tried to keep as much of factory steel that I could. I left the side marker light stock because I didnt like the fit in the replacement quarter.

    Looks like you changed more than just the quarters. How hard was it to get everything to line up using aftermarket parts?
