I'm just about to dive into quarter skin replacement on my '64. I plan to do both rear full skins and outer wheelhouses, all other parts seem OK.

How should I support the body during the cutting and subsequent fitting/re-welding? Do I just leave it supported by the wheels?

Also, any tips on panel replacement would be appreciated. I plan to flange to existing body at the cut line and trim the new replacement panel to the flange size. This will give a little room for trimming error that a full butt weld would not provide. Any suggestions or comments on this plan are also welcome.

Thanks in advance -
