Hey guys, I have a bodyshop linned up to do some work on my car (68 dart). I am having the rear lower quarters, rockers and the trunk extentions done. Anyway the bodymans method to replacing the lower rear qaurters is to cut the old part off (behind the rear wheel) flange the existing metal, punch holes in the new panel then glue and spot weld the panel on, I always understood that solid( butt) welding was the way to go, this guy swears by his way. Has anyone used this method. thanks for any help Darren o[

Thanks Midnight special! The bottom line is I want the work lasting, i,m 29 years old and I plan on keeping the car, I've owned the car for 7 years and have had horrible advice on motor and tranny problems I could write a book on it. The bodyman told me I could go in and watch how he does it and help him if I wanted, I am a welder by trade, But I work with alot heavier steal than on a car. so I understand the ins and outs of fastening metals, So what you are saying is if he does the work right I should not have any problems down the road? thanks Darren
