im going to be blunt.. whoes done it? how much did it cost you? how long did it take? how much ***** does it suck? fml

 

If you have no experience in auto body dont attempt this.

 

i do.. as does my dad... and all the tool to do it.. i jus wana hear from whoes done it

 

Oh ok. well i just started in a shop and have done 3 truck bedsides and those were ok for me but im a rookie. lol and still goin to school. But the hardest part would probably be removing it. yours damaged pretty bad?

 

yeah id say pretty bad

 

Huge PITA.

 

My thoughts, but I wasn't gonna say it since ive never done one.

bondo isnt gona fix this haha

 

Did they not have insurance?

 

it was my fault

 

Just cut the old one off (drill out all the old spot welds). Cut it somewhere on the sail panel and the rocker, the smaller the better. Clean all of your pinch welds up, make sure you have them flat and straight. Take the new sheet metal and do a rough but that you know will overlap onto the sheet metal remaining on the car. Score the metal at that line, remove the new panel and cut just below that line. Grind and fit the new panel till they butt together tightly. And have fun welding it all in. Then grind all your welds down and mud the seams and your jambs. Prime it and paint the bitch. Much easier said then done but PM me if you need more details.

 

agreed

 

had a shop do my old balt for like between 2500 - 3k i think

 

@ Friday

It would be a terrible shame if the car caught on fire or something...

 

i would never try recommending this job to someone with instructions. he probablly doesnt even have to the tools for this caliber of a job. not to mention its always wise to glass the seams first then mud. saves a lot of filler and will help against cracking
FUKIN AGREE!

 

If you know how to weld and dont warp the **** out of the panels when you weld them you dont need to glass the joints. And how much stress do you put on your quarter panels that they are gonna crack out. He wanted to know how to do it so i told him. If he tries it and ***** it up not my problem

 

im not worried bout tools lol... i was jus wanting the breif run down on the job, thanks stubri51!

and my dad will most likely doing all or most of the welding... my main job will be takin the old one out, and prepping it 4 paint

 

got my quarter pannel in today its from the feder all the way 2 the bumper!!!! soo people thats had this done in a shop what was labor time and how much $$$$$ did it cost ya?

 

Well I kinda have a similar situation. I was hit recently on my drivers side. He got 3/4 of the door and the entire quarter panel, as well as my rim and he also bent my axle. Completely his fault, so it's getting repaired as we speak. The dealer quoted around 8g's. I wanna say 4g's of that was the entirely the quarter panel, Parts/Labor/Paint. That's from my invoice buddy....

I know it sucks

 

here pic of my car when it was hit....fixed quarter pannel,door jam,door paint,labor= $9538 to repair

 

holy **** i cant believe it costs 10k to replace a quarter panel + door

 

Alot of labor involved

 

all mine had was just the quarter panel. got lucky i guess it didnt get to the door. my old balt was gone 2 weeks and i found the recipt it was $3,479.62
