Quarter panels, let's cut em off and put new ones on.
I had also never done it. It actually held up my build for years because I was afraid to do it. One day I just said WTF and jumped on it. Like has been said if you are doing skins then weld it near the crease. I used tape to mark the quarter where I was going to cut it and left it about 1" long. Trimmed the skin so it would fit better and then screwed it in place. I used a .045 cut off wheel and cut between the screws and tacked it.
Where I screwed up? Doing the first side and started by not having the quarter tight enough near the bottom in front of the wheel well. It is still something I need to work on. The second side I made sure to get the bottom tight and even tacked it first then pressed out the skin and worked top top side. Since I kept the original body lines it worked out well that way.
