I finally got the last patch panel installed in the right quarter panel today. It took a lot of cutting and shaping to make the new piece fit but it finally came together. I attached the rear triangle brace to the quarter for reference and then tacked the patch in place. The beads didn't line up from the old to the new so I cut a section out to blend it better. After much welding I bolted the panel to the car to check the fit since so much had been replaced on this side. Everything lined up well except the bottom of the patch but I will shape it to fit when I do the hammer and dolly work to get all the dents out of the fenders. Now I can sand and prime the parts before I start on the passenger door. No more rust!
