I would be concerned about alignment. I think I would want the car to sit unloaded on a level surface before replacing a quarter as to take all stresses off of the frame.
I agree. As old as these cars are now I would certainly bolt the car to a frame rack and make careful measurements before cutting off the quarter. The shop may even have to bend the car around a bit before removing the quarter. You will get a much better job this way and totally avoid having any misalignment
