nice man great work, idk anything really about body work but looks like you saved a butt load of cash with that DIY

 

nice work. our cars are too light in the rear end! they slide like butter in rain. i have slid out just leaving a red light making a turn. this is my second rwd car and i had to get used to taking it real easy in the rain. i cant imagine what an sc is like in snow. not fun would be my guess.

 

Damn, never seen a DIY like this. Good work They sure do like to slide

Make sure to post it here:

Awesome work bro, I've never seen anyone take this approach to repairing a rear Quarter; normally a shop would insist you remove the entire panel and window to do the repair. I guess they are just trying to pad the bill.
On a side note, I've slid in the rain, I just thought it was because of my old tires; Will an LSD remedy the lousy traction or make it worse?

 

Nice DIY, this is how most of the SC ends up in the junkyard. Rear panel cost alot to repair, so it is declared total. They should start making rear panel as fender, just replace, save lots of money.

 

WOW not your average DIY. You make this look WAY too easy

 

I agree, make mold, cut, weld back and fill it. Only if it were that easy!

 

That's EXACTLY what I was going to type...

Nice DIY man

 

It coincides, RWD and tire wear. The Sc recommended speed rating (V) tires have below average tread life, the tire tread does not last long. The reason I moved to the H rating longer tread life. A caution flag (slow down) should pop-up in your head with rainy/wet road conditions, if you want to protect your Sc.

Back to the topic...sc4doubleO, Excellent job/DIY next time slow down in wet conditions an conscious/aware of your tire wear.

 

great job on the DIY qp repair.

 

Very nice work

 

Sticky. Right meow.

 

Awesome work. Very very clean.

How necessary is the fiberglass mold? I ask because I know nothing about fiberglass and I'd like to avoid it if possible.

Great job though!

 

An easy to follow, clearly described and properly photographed DIY. Great read! Sorry to hear about the initial accident, but glad to see that you've got the repairs well underway.

Are you going to cover the repair with black primer until you repaint the entire car? What about the inside of the repair area, did you clean and coat the weld with Chassis-Saver or POR-15 to prevent rusting?

Over all: Thumbs Up!
