Just looking for some opinions on the order of which panels I should replace on my 68 charger. And whether is I should temporary mount all of them with self tap screws at first, or if I mount then weld one at a time? I am starting at the rear of the car and here is a list that I need to replace:

Rear Valence
Rear valence end caps
Left trunk floor extension
Both quarter panels - I have skins for these which go from middle of wheel well to rear of car. The quarter panels are solid from the main body line up, so I’m hoping that I can just cut what I need and stay below the body line

Would appreciate any input. Thanks.

If the trunk floor is good and staying in the car, I would remove the left quarter section first. It will give you access to the extension and an get a look at the wheel housing.

Then you could work to the other side and then the valance and corners. I like to work one section at a time.
