Rear quarters
« on: March 20, 2014 - 08:11:46 PM »
Whats the difference between full quarters and quarter skins besides the obvious. Is one better than the other? All of my damage is at the bottom near the rocker panel and just above wheel. Thoughts?

Quarter skins or any patch work will require more welding and body work. :2cents:

:iagree:  Yep, what the man said. A full 1/4 will have a 16" approx roof seam and the partial or skin panel will have a 5-6 foot seam. If you're a dab welder and know how to work a board file, have at them. If the car's meant to have serious HP, you need to take body flex into the equation with it's attendant possibility of filler/seam cracking. just my  :2cents:

Less work to just install full quarters. Better result as well.
