REAR QUARTERS

[c.moo]

Replacing the rear quarters on 63 bev. Trying to figure out whats the best way. Top half of old quarter good. Should i just go ahead and replace whole quarter or cut across so far up , if cut so far up ,where should i make the cut at. Thanks

Leave as much good solid original metal as possible. Where did the replacements come from? Nothing fits as well as the original. I would just make a tape line across the rust, cut there. Hammer & dolly any dents out.

If you have a full quarter, I would put the full on. Less body work. Nicer job

I'd do the full 1/4. No reason to have a weld seam and filler in the side of your car if you don't have to

The AMD full quarter is a beautiful panel. I installed one on a 64 Belvedere. BUT. You are working on a 63. The AMD panel is for 64-65 Plymouth hardtops. The 63 is whole different panel above the main body line. You could use the panel, but will have to cut it down. Have a close look at a 63-65 Two door sedan and a 64-65 2 door hardtop, and you will see that the 63 style has a rounded off body line that flows into the roof, where the 64 style has a sharp body line that runs the full length of the panel. So, yes you can use the panel but it will need too be cut down to essentially a skin
