I am going to replace a full quarter on a 67 camaro, I have never done a full panel before and Im wondering where to start! Maybe a step by step how to get old one off?

I am not a body man, so I will let the body guys help you here.
I do everything to the car except the body work and painting.
But, what they forget to tell you I will cover here.
If you have not removed your quarters yet, measure the gap that you have once the glass and fuzzy's are removed.
It should be the same all the way across.

If you don't mind, post what your gap is before you remove the quarter panel if you have not removed it already.
Make sure you have this gap correct before you paint the car.
Also, make a template for the location of the screws that the manufacturer installed on the fuzzies. Once you have replaced the quarter, you will not know where they go.
Save the screws and start tracking them down, they take some time to find.
Also, some of the quarters do not have the holes already in them for the large rubber U shaped piece that goes at the front of the quarter.
Hope this helps you also.
