I would do a 90 angle cut 1/2 way and right turn, then down. To avoid the full verticle seam. Get a plub bob and level car. Then take a plumb from the horizontal seam. measure from the door jam on driver side and allow for 1/16TH SPACE. uSE THE NUMBERS FROM DRIVER SIDE AND TRANSFER TO PASSENGER.

well it didn't have the driver side quarter when I got it, I have one to put on but not ready for that side. whats a plub bob?

That's a challenging piece there. The amount of work/welding to get this piece right will be equal to replacing the entire qtr panel, well, almost! Nothing like new AMD qtr panels!

Plumb bob for getting straight perpendicular angle to ground

ok thanks, I have a full quarter for the driver side so I guess I should hang it first and go off it.
