I'm just mulling over how to install an AMD quarter panel. I've already installed the driver's side and its all tek screwed in place. There was some lessons learned.
- Its difficult to install a whole panel exactly like the factory did. You're going to have to cut and trim around the roof pillar (at least I had to).
- Disturbing as few factory welds as possible is preferable to me especially where splices are easy to cover/not as visible
- Installing a full rocker is a ton of work so I installed 2 partial sections on the passenger side (turned out well)
- Butt welding on old metal isn't fun and its hard to get a good finished product. Instead of totally cutting out the outer wheel well housing I butt welded in a section of the outer wheel well housing on the driver side. I will overlap weld on the passenger side.
- Leaving the door on until the quarter is fitted so the rocker and quarter gaps can be checked was a good decision.
