I am installing a 1/4 skin, my damaged 1/4 was rusted all the way back to the rear tailpanel, the tailpanel itself is good. What tools would I use to shape the new 1/4 skin to fit and make the seam between 1/4 and tailpanel? the old one was just sliped under the tailpanel along with the trunk side filler panel, but I need to shape the new skin properly in order to fit it this same way.

any advice would be apprechiated.

I will try to post a pic later to clarify, if needed!

I'm still working on mine, but I have to say the absolute best tools I've bought so far and used the most, are a good set of hammers and dollies for reshaping sheetmetal. I'm not an expert, but that set has been invaluable to me thus far.
