Rear quarter body help needed

Using a flange isn't due to lack of "skill" :realcrazy: Most people don't have the skill to flange a panel the "correct" way. Also I guess every car that's ever had a proper sectioning procedure done on a rocker, or pillar was done incorrectly with a backing plate right? Also when butt welding the panels together you would still need to finish the weld on the inside of the trunk area right? Or those come out so perfectly you don't even notice it's had a panel replacement:lol: . The purpose of finishing a weld (butt or flange) on the inside is to restore the vehicle to pre repair condition... It didn't have a flange OR a butt weld from the factory. It isn't trying to HIDE anything. If that was the case why do mud work or repaint the car in the first place? You're just hiding a poor repair right?? And FYI most restoration shops I've worked for didn't want the butt weld done.. Just one.. and the reason he did is because it's "less" work to finish the inside. I'll keep doing it the way I have for the last 21 years. :steering:
