Removing Quarter Panels

[Kipperbaby34]

Hey everyone,

Recently got rear ended, destroyed my rear quarter panels and trunk, no damage to the frame. I have a parts car, I was wondering if it is possible to remove the old panels trunk and what is left of the bumper and replace it with that on the parts car?

Sorry about the accident. Hope you get her fixed back up. :)

Rear quarters require cutting and welding. If you have that ability, and some body work skills, you can do it. Since you are asking the question, I am guessing not. Maybe you can find someone in your area who does body work on the side to help. Craigslist.

Anything can be removed if you have the right kind of saw. Putting new parts back on is a trick though.

Rear quarters ARE the frame...

What you really have is two parts cars.

Rear quarters are sheet metal that make up part of the shell, which takes the place of a frame in a monocoque structure. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monocoque
