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!

in addition, the area at the top of the jamb intersecting with the fresh air tube & sail is leaded from the factory (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)

Thanks for the input. I found out how "ugly" the area around the fresh air tube is when I removed the replacement quarter panel!

I will try to butt weld the new quarter on. Making the joint at the seam will also help since the sheet metal will be two layers thick. Less chance to blow through.
