Newbie with a new 318

[SirHayes]

So, I came across and got a 73 Brougham SE with a 318 for a steal. I've never done a restoration project, but I've always wanted to. Can I get a few opinions or tips on where I should start? I think I want to keep it as close to original as I can, because everything is already there, but I'm open to ideas. Anything would be appreciated!

Welcome! My first car was a '73 Charger. Lots of great memories.

Welcome to the site! From the back it looks like a good project. Have any other pics?

I'd start with that missing quarter panel.

Careful which replacement you buy.

The Sherman/Goodman is pretty nice.
The "other one" isn't nice at all.

The quarter panel is actually still there, but its dented to hell. In order to replace it, do I have to cut it out to replace it?
