I have been able to extend a panel like that with a hammer and dolly. essentially extending the panel and the folded lip gets shorter. It was when I only had to work it to get an additional 1/4 inch.
I have seen many cars incorrectly restored with the quarter panels coming straight down behind the rear wheel. The trunk floor extension needs to be angled in to match the crossmember extension.
You might want to get the rear bumper hung to test fit for width.
You need to heat the area that you want to bend, then hammer the bracket back down. with the heat in the right area, you wont have to beat it too hard with hammer.
The door needs to tilt in behind the fender when door opens. It looks to me that the fender needs to be bowed out in the middle some. Just by loosening the lower fender bolts only, you can do allot of adjustment on the fender.
I found staples holding on my vinyl top in a few places. 69 Charger, it got me wondering how I am going to duplicate that when replacing the vinyl top.
I have done just that to repair my hinges. I welded the holes shut and then drilled to correct size. I welded the pins at the wear spot and ground smooth. If the detent rollers are bad, that would have been beyond my capability, with the rivet that holds them together.
I put something under front of hood to give it some tension to pop up when you pull the hood release cable. Alot of times the hood bumpers need to be adjusted up after being squashed down for years.
I just looked on AMD web sight and found front bumpers are supposed to be coming soon. No mention in the coming soon on quarter panels.
It seems crazy all the new Ford Galaxy:eek: parts coming out, yet not much if anything, new Mopar coming out.
I would remove the panel at the spot welds. Then patch all the rust spots on the original panel. This way you can clean and patch/repair the rust between the layers of sheet metal. I would repair the original panel, the reproduction panel is not very accurate around tail light openings.
