Default Re: Quarter panels or skins

When Tom S was doing my body and paint he would take an NOS hardtop quarter and graft it to the existing convert quarter in the area near the upper body line from the jam to just aft of the area where the weatherstrip went from side to side and near the body series stamping in the trunk lip. He would then butt weld them not lap weld. When done they were indistinguishable from a convertible quarter. That guy could work miracles.
