How not to !!! rear lower quarter panels
I'm no expert...I trashed one patch panel and started over with a new one after learning that I couldn't run a continuous bead on sheet metal!!! But, second time around it came out a little better. Patch panels are probably not all perfectly fitted to every car, especially if the parent sheet metal has been repaired at some point in the past. I found that a little creative weld-filling and grinding brought things together to the point that only a little bondo would finish it out.
