Rear Quarter Panel Repair Ideas Options

[TargaToy]

So once again I find myself going where the sun don't shine.

Eventually, I plan to post the receipt from where the body shop charged the interim owner for "replacing quarter panel"...but that's fun for another day.

Here's my question: Am I correct that, from the factory, the little void in the point at the rear of the quarter panel (above the tail light) is left empty--or full of spray foam--and that there's a very large glob of seam sealer supposedly preventing tire-slung moisture from finding the foam?

I had to open mine up all the way and I'm toying with actually welding in a custom baffle in front of that pointed tip so that I could seal it up tight from the front side of the baffle. I would do this as part of the process when I fit in the new fender section.

What I want to do is make sure moisture can't get into that rear point and fester.

Anybody who's reworked the rearmost part of the fender/light socket, what have you done???

I put the Eastwood stuff into the longs through the seat belt holes with my 914-6 on the rotisserie and painted the shit out of it and turned it. You can work it all around till it comes out of the holes in the bottom of the pan. I think I have gotten the longs sprayed well. I had no rust showing before and my jack posts looked great so this should just add extra protection.

I did my 74 V8 car in the same way. The long nozzle makes fast work of this job. I had some worry because of welding in steel and wanted to stops any rust from forming on the welds from the Engelmann long kits.

I bought 6 cans and 2 cans went far on one car.
