Unhappy Quarter pannel Damage Pics

So i got a little carried away with speed.
Before


After




Doin work, in the future i still plan to get a new quarter and weld it in.




I still have to push out towards the bottom of the wheel well and then its time for the stud welder, body hammers, etc

It's a real PITA to line that trunk back up. The rest can be achieved with a slide hammer and your foot.
