@@RustedNBusted just the welded in section? I would of thought this to be the opposite as if it’s bowed inwards or not bowed at all then it could be filled and shaped with body filler
You don't want to use a lot of body filler. Just enough to blend the welded areas into the existing quarter panel. The bow always needs to be slightly outward. If you look down the side of any car or truck you will see a slight bow outward in the doors fenders and quarters.
There are no stupid questions when it comes to auto body.. Technically the correct way is to make the piece fit exactly where you cut it out.. I like to put it on top. I feel it makes it stronger and easier to weld with less warpage. Just make sure to seam seal behind it when you're done.
Great video question do u always put the replacement panel or skin over the repair?
It all depends on the situation. Whatever way is the easiest.
When do u put the skin over or under the panel on a repair ?
Well it all depends on how it's easier to weld
What do you mean by the “bow” exactly?
The contour of the panel needs to be bowed outward.
