start with the quarter do not work off the fender and the door gap you wont have it line up if you dont. other than that if your doing new quarters make sure you dont cut the old quarters off to high i did and ive regreted it since. have fun and take your time. measure twice and cut once thats another one i learned from doing my quarters.

If your door gap is good now, leave the door on until you finish the quarter panel work to make sure you maintain your correct gap. The take the door off and fix or leave it on and work it. If you have the door off and move the quarter around at least tack the quarter in a couple of places then check the door gap before welding the quarter on permanant. I am curious if you have welded a quarter on before. You can ruin it by welding it the wrong way.

Make sure you have a spot weld cutter a normal drill bit is messy and takes longer then a spot weld cutter.
