 I read that these two parts came from the factory as a single replacement. Are they spot welded, seam welded or braized? How hard would it be to replace the quarter panel using this as the splice (instead of replacing the quarter + jam together?) thanks! Carl K. |

The 2 pieces are spot welded together.
Probably best to not mess with the seam if you don't have to; just section out what is needed and butt weld the new metal in. The seams will create complication. The easier you can make the repair, the better, easiest being butt welding a single layer, which is what the whole rear quarter panel/fender is (except the rearmost part and the sail panel). Steer clear of the door handle as there's a double layer around it, and the air inlet tube is complicated as well. If yours are ok, leave them be. |
