its probably easier to swap shells than to change a rear quarter

ya i know its a tough job i have a friend whos a good welder but other than that im about on my own. i would swap it all over to my car but i chopped all the harness's when pulling parts as i had full intentions of sending the shell to the scrap yard

DON'T DO IT. replace engine, harness, fender, door, ----not qp. 1 mistake by a body shop and you're screwed. I doubt any of the guys that did extensive work on their car would consider this.. there's probably 101 reasons.
