I am going to repair the quarter panel on my 69 camaro myself. I am going to only replace the part that needs to be replaced, instead of replacing the whole shell. The shell from factory is in perfect condition, except this one spot. I am curious on what type of weld i should do. I have an arc welder, but feel thats to heavy duty for the thin sheet metal work. What type of weld do you think is appropriate/ I will also be replacing my inner wheel well. Twig Weld? Suggesttionsss?! thanks!!:confused:

twig welds don't hold very well and tend to burst into flames. I'd suggest using a Mig with gas.

This is what I'm dealing with:

As you can see in the second picture, the tip of the quarter (top of the picture) is chipping. I dont want to mess up the stock body lines, should I just cuz about 3 inches up and replace it with a new piece?

Any suggestion on where to start. Methods and experience is highly appreciated!

Tig is OK if you are good at it mig is easier if you have one available.
