Passenger Side Rear Quarter Patches

While trying to straighten out the issues with the hood gap around the rear decklid, I discovered some chipping paint on the lower section of the right side quarter panel on the driver's side. After grinding off the paint, I found a 2" hole that had been filled with bondo and painted over. There was NO metal behind it at all. I cut off the rotted section and found more rot on the wheel well inside where the quarter welds on. I wound up having to cut out even more of the panel to get to the wheel well underneath.

I made the repair to the well, then started making the patch for the bottom of the quarter. There is a compound curve just below the indent for the bumper. I spent about 15 minutes with my HF planishing hammer and my redneck shrinker making the curve. After it was formed and fit up, I started welding everything back together. I still have a section I need to fab up and weld in either tonight or later in the week.

This is the extra piece I cut out to get access to the wheel well. It's getting welded right back into place.

Everything ground down. I still have some patching to complete. I might break out the POR15 before I go much further.
